Orc DPS is not the issue, what I gather, Orc 1K health is. Getting the highest DPS by a few percentage is not much considering Orc is supposed to be a glass cannon. To quote you,

Either that has to be reduced or the stamina a little bit. I'll have a chat with the devs and reps about this, since that is something we have noticed too.[/quote]
yeah i think maybe a small change to stam - like -250 or -500 might be enough to do the trick. Doesnt have to be anything incredible i dont think!1 -

✭I wish you would show tests with a non optimal race as well to see the difference in damage as this was one of the reasons for the racial changes by ZOS to make it so it's not so punishing on players who select Nord and want to play a mage.
I know the 1% wont ever play a nom optimal race but I would like to see the numbers a non optimal race brings for my own trials.

They also have better magicka sustain and more health and stamina. Not seeing any reason to choose Altmer over Khajiit at this point. Breton looks good for solo.5 -

@susmitds
Their first tests contained a no racial run, which is the same as an unoptimized race. I assume they didn't do it this time due to PTS bugs with stats, and they will run one next week with every class.
The reason ZOS made the change was so there would be more variety for every role. This has been largely achieved. We now have between four and five choices for Stam and Mag DPS all within 1K DPS of each other.1 -

I think this is where ZOS has gone wrong with the Stamina races creating identity. They want the Orc to be a brawler but a glass cannon? I feel these changes to Orc was PVP specific in mind because they are the best race hands down for PVP, they are also in directly best race for PVE.
They need to do either or...
Glass Cannon
or
Brawler
If they go Brawler like they said they can increase health by 1000 making them 2k health but reduce stamina to 500. This would make for interesting choices for Stamina races as you would have Redguard and Bosmer as the higher stam pool races and Nord and Orc as the brute brawlers all the while staying close to each other PVE DPS wise.

Let me put it this way, when the moons align (pun intended), Khajiit is the strongest of all races in terms of raw damage. With 80%+ crit Impales and Bow proc, the DPS chart goes flying, especially with Shadow, the DPS chart will go beyond what you might have ever to expected to parse in those conditions. Remember though that is not the only direction, it can go though. Sub 50% crit rates do also happen.WrathOfInnos wrote: »I’m seeing Khajiit with higher peak DPS than Altmer, being the only one that broke 64k, and did so multiple times with different Mundus Stones.

I kind of, made up for that with green food, so the effect won't be felt that much. I will be surprised if it is more than 0.15% DPS than this. Then again, I will test with higher samples during that time for a more accurate value.Edited by susmitds on February 7, 2019 8:17PM1 -
MEBengalsFan2001✭✭✭✭✭Based on these results we can assume Altmer will increase their lead, and Dunmer will pass Kajit once the stat scaling gets corrected. All in all very tight race for number one.
That is the thing; all races are close to one another. I would like to now see actual testing on each class with each race regardless if the race is optimal for a specific build or not. This way we can see how much variance is between the worst race and best race for each class and race combo.
This way the devs can use that to further adjust the game as needed.

That is why they are going to do a no racial test. There is no point in running five or six unoptimized races through ten to twenty parces when they will all result in the same average DPS.0 -

Per the dev comments they aren't glass cannons though, they are brawlers. They are supposed to be beefier than other stamina DDs (safe for Nord and Imperial perhaps). If they removed something from them it should be some stamina, even more so because they have always been a tanking option so far.
I'm not sure why they overshot their stat bonuses so much, as all suggestions basically came down to 1000 health and stamina (from 500 previously). But if they're losing health again, I riot. x(Alandrol Sul: He's making another Numidium?!?

MaselClass RepresentativeThis whole discussion ties to a bigger issue though. Sustain is likely undervalued because it can easily be compensated for. Dubious throne and artaeum food basically provide too much without a real trade-off in damage.
You lose 2k stamina but gain over 300 recovery, and races like orc and khajiit have health that cover most of the health loss already.
So it's not necessarily the stats orc has in general, but the fact that sustain can easily be obtained elsewhere without a real tradeoff.PC EU

As an raid leader I would pick an Orc doing 40K as magblade over an Dunmer or Khajiit doing 40K simply as the Orc is more tanky. Bosmer roll dodge off the edge on last boss in AA Happened on an healer once.

I think the real issue comes from the fact the Stamina side was never balanced with this high damage boost from races in mind.
On the magicka side, we had 9/10% Magicka increase + 7,2,2/4,4,4% Static elemental damage increase, which was essentially much larger than Stamina side's largest damage of 8% weapon crit. Suddenly, devs want to balance damage boost for both sides equally (which I suspect is due to Dunmer passive's mirror effect they are pushing). This is resulting in these conditions.5 -
danno8✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭but why ffs it is tested only on nb? especially on stamina dps
on stamina dps nb is just overpowered monster to rest classes
everyone always state dps on stamina from nb while jsut ignoring weaker classes and as everyone see how high dps is on stamblade then nobody even look at other classes where most of them are far away behind stamblade dps
could you also try these dps tests for example on stamina sorc dk or templar? at all I heared stamden isnt that far away with dps behind stamblade but from most people I hear how rest 3 stamina classes are really far far away from just stamblade
(or atleast someone could maybe explain me this if Im wrong please)
Because it takes forever to test and people, I assume, have lives to live outside of ESO-PTS testing.3 -

That would have other effects as well. First, Magplars will gain more Healing power, and healing/tankiness in general is a major pain points in PvP. Might even get Magplar healing as a whole nerfed later down the line due to this.
PvEwise, Khajiit Stamplars will still probably be very very good, probably even BiS, due to the fact that on the stamina side, only Khajiit effectively gains enough with Shadow to beat Lover, meaning the new crit chance will also affect Shadow and give Khajiits an indirect boost to DPS.3 -
