Martial Training: Added a bonus that reduces the effectiveness of Snares applied to you by up to 15%.

What is the point of going wood elf at all now? Sustain? Redguard exists. Mobility? Redguard, orc and nord all offer some form of effective mobility; orcs with sprint speed, redguard with snare resistance and nord with immunity to chilled. And what is the purpose of 1.5k pen for 3s after roll dodge? I can't imagine people are gonna be thinking "hmm time to roll dodge to gain that 1.5k pen for 3s so I can kill this guy". The pen should apply permanently.

Why are we buffing dunmer more? They were arguably one of the better races before.

I believe it's because the changes previous took away a lot of what made Dunmer a race people wanted to play, the "bit of everything" didn't match with their old design where's others stuck closer to their designs.

This change takes them back to that but brings in more benefits for Stamina builds.

I don't even care about race changes anymore, I just want the game and servers to work.

Highelves uselss mag DD Race
Imperial red diamond passive, still 1k worse than Argonian potion Passive

Cats...clearly new BIS Race for PVE stamina and Magicka, with redguards and Bretons nR2

Not surprised on bosmer ones. They had their moment when being "on par with khajiit" for heists/sacraments and r now back to "wait there is passives beyond the looks?".

Its okay, the other races need the buffs more to make up for their appearance.

For PvE DPS we had a good diversity with the changes from 4.3.0 allowing about 3 - 4 races to closely compete with each other. These new changes completely rip altmer damage as you're forced to loose some of your damage outside your racial passives to gain the same sustain a Breton brings therefore loosing DPS.

Pretty happy about Orc going from 500 health and stamina to 1k health and 2k stamina. That's exactly what they needed IMO. I rather them get stam return when you do damage with a weapon than the heal because with Battle Spirit 300 heal every 4 seconds is nothing. Overall I'm very pleased.

Now the Orc will be treated like a God with 300hp in pvp every 4 sec. But the amount of resources pleased! Thanks)

So if we get 1 free race change token, what race should I go to for my bosmer stamina warden (dps)?

I am someone who rarely has a real issue with game nerfs etc and almost always looks back on "catastrophic" changes and realizes that they weren't very bad at all or actually had a positive effect. In case of some of todays changes, I actually have to say "WTF"?!??

The change to Spell Recharge is just incomprehensible. I have to say that the passive in its new form would be completely useless in almost all situations. I would probably not even spend the skillpoints on it... Yeah, it might help very slightly in roll dodge heavy situations, but I think the effects would barely be noticeable. There is no justification for this change that I can see, especially in light of buffs to Khajiit and Dunmer passives. They want to make Altmer purely damage focused, fine, then give them a "little bit of everything" - say a smaller spell damage bonus and an additional spell crit bonus that would be smaller than Khajiit - say, 175 spell damage and 4% spell crit. This wouldn't help with sustain issues but might give a reason to run an Altmer for higher dps potential.

I strongly feel that Zenimax needs to rethink this one entirely.
