Any reason to buy Imperial class at this point?

With the impending racial passive nerfs, is there any real reason to care about imperials anymore? They were never overwhelming before, but they seem very blah now. It is a shame, as I always liked the Imperials, but I don't want to shell out money for crap.

    There are better races. Healing on damage is worthless, considering amount of healing sources available. I'd probably pick nord over imperial now. They aren't bad though, just don't really worth it unless you want them just for looks.

    You get a white horse. That's why I bought the pack.

    You still get the Imperial horse and Imperial style.

    Also you get the ability to buy Imperial homes with gold.

    I think everyone has the ability to buy the Imperial homes with crowns now though.

    Yes. Imperials are glorious!


    Really though, I purchased mine way back when getting a mount was a difficult thing so starting the game off with one was a great boost. Also, Imperials are the only race I like after Bosmer.

    I don't think they are as bad as everyone makes them out to be, they just feel kinda bland.

    They buffed Imperial slightly, I thought. Aren't the changes to Red Diamond a little better than they were before, or am I going crazy?

    If you only want to be a goodlooking tank or a roleplay tycoon, then yeah, they are still worth the purchase. The horse is pretty too.

    I feel sad for the state of imperial race with proposed changes. Maybe they're of use if you like to RP as an IC survivor lol

    I think they are a decent option for tanks now or a tanky dps

    Since it is apparent from your OP that you couldn’t care less about developing an actual character, I suppose not. For those of us who love story, lore, and creating characters? We don’t care about numbers games.

    Depends on what you want...they are actually really good tanks on live, and they will ever be good tanks. The 2k Stam/Hp is the same value, that you actually gain on a Tank with 10/12 %. I am normaly between 30-40k Hp, 19k Mag and 20k Stam without tristatglyphes and goldgear.

    Fair enough. I did not intend any insult. Mine was simply a question of practicality/value.

    Statistically, probably not.

    However many people love to play Imperials for more than their stats, so I think those will be the people still buying them.

    Imperials and that DC need to be added to the base game and not be purchased separate. If they buff them too much they'll be accused of P2W so they'll never be a top race to use.

    +2000 health and +2000 stamina, no other race comes anywhere near in terms of raw stats. For some builds that makes it BiS. As a bonus the new Red Diamond will give more healing than it currently does unless your health is over 43k.

    Sorry if I came off as brusque - it's been an interesting couple days.

    Even if you care about character development, the cost of the upgrade is on the excessive side. That's true of pretty much everything in the crown store aside from the DLCs, though. The race should move to base game for free with purchase of the next chapter or something, IMO.
