It seems simple so far:
Best Sustain - RG, Bosmer
Best Damage - Dunmer, Orc
In the middle - Khajiit
RG and Bosmer will lose DPS but have great sustain
Dunmer and Orc will have better damage, but not so good sustain ( Dunmer is really bad )
Khajiit gets a little more stam ( and HP! which is kinda nice ), a little more recovery and of course, has crit.

I cant see Bosmer being used tbh. I know some do use it but Redguard still outshined it. Khajit I can see being dropped completely. Maybe used as a healer race?¿?
I don’t know why people think redguard will have good sustain. Martial training is terrible, most builds use few weapon abilities.
I think you are partially correct.. Every stam class uses weapon abilities in their PvE rotation, but i think stamsorc might be the only stam class that uses a weapon ability as a spammable (shrouded daggers from what i remember).
I think Redguard will only be "BiS" for stamsorc because of that fact tbh..
Overall, I really like how they balanced the racial passives - there really is no clear cut BiS, but there are many more ways to build a toon around certain playstyles.

And sustain with spamming Claw is so, so much better. I can sustain blue bi-stat food with reasonable comfort and without heavy attacks (as a khajiit).
But yes, redguard sustain got buffed a little assuming a single Hail, PI and Slashes per 12s rotation.

Whats a good setup to run that doesnt involve trials gear? I havent updated my SDK since I came back to the game and its still in Hundings/Sunder/Mephalas which was good like a year ago lmao

(Hidden under spoiler not to derail the thread.)...I would say first of all look at the Veiled Heritance (you'll need to run it in jewelry and weapons, plus transmute jewelry which comes in Healthy - it's a heavy set). Damage-wise it goes toe to toe with AY (which is meta for front bar). Hard to find equal substitute for Relequen as the other set, but I'd say Spriggan's will perform admirably. If you don't have vMA bow, you can try Leviathan in place of Veiled / AY, or combine Veiled with Leviathan. As a monster set, Kra'gh will give you best parse, but in a lot of content, Velidreth is more practical. Bars: front - Claw, FoO, Noxious, Rending, Trap, Dawnbreaker, back - Hail, Caltrops, PI, couple of flex spots (I usually keep Vigor and Hunter for the passives, but you can try another DoT or Igneous).

1K stamina back every 5 seconds. Nuff said.
950/5*2=380 / hail+slashes+poison arrow once 10 seconds = 4051+2160+2430=70*2, 380+140=520.Tommy_The_Gun wrote: »Redguard.

Bosmer, with a potion, vampire and 5 medium armor (not even counting cp, class passives etc) you getting more regen than adreniline rush.
