With these upcoming changes, I decided to think about what impact the new passives have. buffs, nerfs, all in all, bear in mind that this is What I see and every reader may see each one differently based on their favourite race, how they approach it lorewise and vice versa. but otherwise, here are my thoughts on them.

Disclaimer: new ones are highlighted in Bold, and What are your thoughts on the Racial changes?

Orc As a person who happens to be an Orsimer Enthusiast (and regarding feedback from others) I can say that in my personal opinion, the 500 Max Health and Stamina is pretty much underwhelming to a degree, as it does not exactly make the Orc feel “hardy” like they are supposed to. And in comparison to the buff for the Dunmer and the others, the Orcs should have a similar number compared to them (like I don’t know, 1000 Max health and Stamina like that one forumer said.). The change to unflinching is pretty niche, but considering the low restoration numbers, I would probably settle with having the new unflinching Passive proc when taking damage and upping the 380 to 400.
Unflinching idea:

• Unflinching: When you take direct damage, you restore 400 Health and Stamina. This effect can occur once every 3.5 seconds.

this can give that “unflinching” feel to the orcs and give the Passive that lore friendly thumbs up considering its limitation. As for Swift Warrior, changing the 4% Melee Damage to 258 Weapon Damage was indeed a wise move, giving all manner of stamina based abilities a much needed edge when playing as an Orsimer.

High Elf Replacing Spell Charge with Spell Recharge was probably a good move as it will help with sustainability regardless of stamina/magicka orientation, but the interesting thing is the 5% Damage reduction while using an ability with a channel or cast time, this can help make high elves tanky when used in conjunction with Psijic Abilities as it stacks with the psijic passive "Deliberation", and makes for an interesting combo with the "Soulshine" set which adds on up to 450 Spell damage to abilities with cast or channel times. (who knows how it will play out.)

Argonian From the looks of this, I can say it is more of a slight nerf than an actual buff. true the flat 1000 magicka can pile on incredibly well alongside the 1000 health in a way, the notable increase to disease resistance is about 50-50. But, decreasing the amount of stamina, magicka and health gained from drinking a potion by 1020, removing the poisoned status immunity, reducing the healing done from 5% to 4% and removing healing received? Argonians won't be able to accurately heal allies as fast or recover as quickly, not to mention there "Newfound" susceptibility to poison may be slightly against the lore as the Argonian swamplands of blackmarsh are very much treacherous, with noxiously dangerous fauna to ruins filled with deadly traps from which the Argonians have adapted to over their lifetime.

Wood Elf Increasing stamina recovery by 258 instead of 21% is quite a big leap on one occasion, but removing disease resistance and diseased status immunity (*looks back at Argonian) I can see the uniqueness in it, the 2000 stamina buff is a good indication alongside the buffed stamina recovery, makes for incredible stamina sustainability. now the interesting part, the New hunters eye: looking at this, I can see it combine well with the stealth detection of the sentry set and abilities like mage light and expert hunter, the 20% speed boost on a roll dodge though, combined with minor/major expedition and swift jewellery, that could be a slight problem in PVP scenarios.

Breton Definitely an improvement, the flat 2000 magicka is average when using flat values instead of percentages but a good one nonetheless. the Reduction to spell resistance is paid off with 100 flat magicka recovery which, while they won't be as tanky, Bretons will more than make up for it with good magical defenses when using a frost staff, being able to recover magicka at a slightly greater pace, the cost reduction to all magicka based abilities is a good contributing factor, considering it can be stacked when using templar/sorcerer classes since they have cost reducing passives, especially if used with the seducer set for even more cost reduction

Dark Elf Generally a buff, and a great one at that, the increased health, while not much compared to other races, is better than none at all which was the old one, a minor increase to the flame resistance while retaining the burning status immunity is good, and the 258 increase to weapon and spell damage is a new one, which is really good as well as thematically fitting to the dunmer lore. (#improveddunmermasterrace)

Imperial an incredibly minor nerf to max health, but a good flat buff to both health and stamina, Excellent improvement to the Red cut diamond passive, being able to not only proc more frequently, but changing the limitation from just melee attacks to all direct damage attacks, that is what I would potentially see in a near-perfect tank, especially with the 5% cost reduction to blocking and shield bashing. (beware of both imperial werewolves and vampires, vampires especially as it gives a distinctive “essential” feeling of draining enemies of life force.)

Khajiit A seriously good buff to be sure, Increased Max Health, Magicka and stamina, as well as added recovery, neat for hybrids. Having both 8% Weapon and Spell Critical, there are a lot of happy kittens out there with this, the 5m detection radius reduction in stealth is a greater factor for the more sneakier types, combined with both night mothers embrace and night terror sets, I guarantee that no master lockbox will be safe.

Nord Giving the nords a huge chunk of stamina may have been a good play, but In comparison to other race changes, one could say much, the Max health is a lively addition along with slightly buffed cold resists, and interestingly, the 3960 Spell and Physical resistance (which translates to 6% player Armor) is a unique change which, in the fields of PVP, can be counteracted, but in PVE, it makes it easier to focus on the DPS/Tank hybridability, being able to dish it out effectively while also taking hits like a true nord.

Redguard Changing Exhilaration to Martial artist was quite a surprise, but lore wise, it fits the bill. being professional in most forms of weaponry is something the Alik’r have which almost no other race can compare. The 2000 stamina buff is about fifty fifty, and the 158 point buff to Adrenaline rush is good, Redguard players will enjoy being able to sustain their stamina better.
