Already a post asking to be buffed over everyone's nerf? Wow.
Breton is going to be far, FAR, stronger on the whole.
You can more that recoup the lost resistances with 1x Protective on your jewelry, which will actually put you in an even better spot because you get phys res as well.
The extra 100 mag regen + 4% cost redux that the new passives are offering, on the other hand, means you can replace 1-2 jewelry regen glyphs with spell damage, or swap Atronach mundus with Apprentice.
The damage you'll gain from making these adjustment will faaaar outstrip the loss of 870 mag from slotting 1x Protective.
I have a Breton magDK that was always gimped due to his racial choice (which I made in ignorance as he was my very first toon on ESO), and am looking forward to the substantial amount of power he'll be gaining next update.

Most of the time I am already running 3x spell damage in jewellery and lover mundus as petless-sorc and don't really feel the need for extra recovery with witchmother's. Sometimes I slot 1 recovery jewel if healers can not provide enough resource return but these cases are rare. Though my friend just gave an interesting idea that if the regen gets high enough it might be possible to ditch witchmother's and use blue food instead. Should be tested on PTS wether the recovery is high enough.

Yep... I kinda think the same. Bretons are already arguably bis healers. With this insane buff (3% -> 7% cost reduction on magicka skills) and the "competition" removed (heavy argonian nerf) they will simply, without a doubt be a bis race for healers and possibly mag dps.Emma_Overload wrote: »Massive buff.

Yeah >..> I told them that for Breton like Spell Resistance since it's not bad. It's still there, but not as much and some new things to work with now.
What does other Breton players think about this?
Breton
Increases Experience gain in Light Armor Skill Line by 15%, extra 1% Alliance Point gain → No changes
Gift of Magnus: 10% Max Magicka → Increases your Max Magicka by 2000.
Spell Resistance: 3960 Spell Resistance → Gain 2310 Spell Resistance and 100 Magicka Recovery.
Magicka Mastery: 3% Magicka Cost Reduction → Reduces the Magicka cost of your abilities by 7%.

That extra 4% from Magicka Mastery + Worm Cult or Seducer will make for quite the sustainable Brenton Healer = )
I don't really want to sound rude but... Are we really discussing over 1650 spell resistance?

It is nice to see a(n unnoffical) commonity ambassador commenting my thread Unfortunately I didn't quite understood what you were trying to say with this.
Though I was expecting some kind of buff to our damage, I think the changes, overall, are a great improvement.
BUT we have to consider this changes in relation to the rest of races, specially the buff to the Spell Resistance of Nords. That Nords getting 70% more SR than Bretons is a total nonsense, an oddity from the perspective of lore and racial profiles of every Elder Scrolls games.
That said... May be we should be discussing if the improvement in SR to Nords is way too much.

I think its because nords are overall oriented towards bulkyness and tanking, bretons have also dps passives tied to them, having both would be kinda crazy

Bretons do not have dps passive. They have max magicka that does give them some damage becouse of calculations work but they are made as dps. That is like saying argonians have dps passive. In previous games Breton identity has been a magical wall that tanks spells but not physical attacks and uses magic themselves.
