Because Dark Elf also gets 1850 Magicka and 256 Spell Damage allowing you to swap between high dps roles as magicka or stamina. Orc is only Stamina buffs. Dark Elfs resistance to fire is also worth more than Orcs pathetic 600 health (cut to 300 in Cyrodiil) every 4 seconds.

If u want swaping dd roles between magicka and stamina the best race is khajiit with good values of max resources, regen and crit.

Dark Elf will still be close and will be stronger than Khajiit in PvP because damage from crit goes way down when half your targets have 3k crit resist.

Maybe becouse dunmer have same stats for stamina and magika dd and orcs can play only stamina?
From my side full stamina or full magika rase need to be better than dunmers or khajiits where u can play double with same stats.

To be honest I was thinking dark elf to be a more attractive choice than orc for PvP on stam builds . The extra max magicka is a more valuable stat than 1k hp imo. The only other passive which is kinda nice on orc is the 10% sprint speed one.

There is no such thing like "magicka and stamina dd". There is "magicka dd" and "stamina dd". Anyway in real conditions extra stamina is always good for mage, and extra magicka is useful in PVP, i mean wings, cloak and so on. So, before today's patch notes, dunmer was in line with other stam races. But now they buffed redguard and khajiit (slightly) and orc (huge buff) and nerfed (slightly) bosmer while literally keeping dunmer the same, which places dark elves somewhere on 4th place or maybe even lower, it's hard to calculate where imperial will be with new sustain passive.

With this new patch notes dunmer becomes absolutely useless race, as a bosmer and altmer. This is elven genocide, nothing else.

Oh, my tell me now that u really through that I told about hybrids cmon. -_- Thanks cap for explaining me that in this game there is "stamina dd" and "magika dd". (:
I just wonder how u don't get that they also buffed dunmers passives and I still reading posts were ppl crying about that dunmers and khajiit not so op as they wish.
Magplar and magden deal more dps on khajiit than in any other magika rase and dunmer on stamina or in magika in top 3 dds.
U can't tell that all those changes will kick dunmer from top couse pts still closed and yes I also burning couse bosmers but still. Maybe it will - maybe not all depend about ure char role - pve raiding or pvp zerging. I remember how was reaction about cats passives till ppl tested them.
And my main tip was and still is that fully stamina rase need to be better than rase which is alow u to respec any time if u want from stam to mag couse its not look like clear balance in game. And again I speak more about pve now.
