We failed.

Nocturnal took control of Crystal-Like-Law, rewrote reality in her own image, and in an act of petty revenge made the Altmer slightly less good at magical DPS as they were before compared to the other races

Hmm, now that I think about it, Nocturnal taking revenge on the players who tried to beat her would explain an awful lot about #Nerfmire too...

I'm still building my High Elf Templar and there's nothing Zenimax can do or @ZOS_GinaBruno can write, to stop me!

Is that a challenge?

Next week's patch notes:

"We felt that High Elf had too much damage, so we replaced the +2000 max magicka with +2000 max stamina. The +258 spell damage has been changed to 500 health. We believe this is more in line with the spirit of the race"

@FrancisCrawford , max stat is included into formula for calculating weapon/spell power (with coefficient of 10.41 if memory serves) though, so boost to altmer's max stat is a direct boost to damage.

Why are you reminding me of this extremely well-known fact? Do you imagine that it somehow contradicts something I wrote?

@FrancisCrawford , I do imagine so, because I was responding to @Browart who complained that altmer got plain nerfed, to which I responded that the change to CP scaling actually gives altmer a buff in other department (max stats), to which you, in turn, responded "That's relevant to how easy or hard it will be to complete certain content." - you might have meant specifically comparison with breton, but the talk between me and @Browart was specifically about relative changes to altmer. My point was, altmer got nerf in sustain, buff in damage (as did all races with high max stat bonus).

My point was that while Altmer got both nerfed and buffed, as you point out, it was absolutely nerfed RELATIVE to Breton (because Breton got the same buff).

So because the Top 1% (give or take) can perform flawless parses, the rest of us, have to shut up about it and be fine? The new passive is completely niche PVP usage and doesn't even does it's job right. 625 stamina on magicka tons doesn't mean anything when you keep getting stunned and have to roll dodge attacks. With each actions costing 1/3 of our stamina pool. For that, I rather use an Dark Elf, which give THE SAME EXACT BONUSES and a huge upgrade for my stamina (ok, there's a 175 difference between the magicka pool, but it's completely insignificant).
There's no reason why you want a Altmer because it does not offer anything else that other races do, and they do much better.
Besides that, the rework of the passive have no lore backing and smells like a after thought that should been worked harder before pushing it to pts.

The first changes to passives were completely fine and for most cases, awesome changes. It was only required "few" tweaks needed. This now brings some of the same problems we have on live, but with different races. Yay.

So much salt from Altmer players whose race has been OP for magicka setups for 5 years straight. Of course they're gonna be vocal now.

I just hope ZOS doesn't listen for once. It's not all about PvE and the new racial is indeed quite nice for PvP, a lot more useful than a Magicka return. Health would have been nice as well, but that might be too much to ask for.
