This almost 25 to 30% difference in dps between a Redguard MagSorc and Altmer is ***

    Not arguing, but what test numbers are you looking at? Genuinely interested b/c I'm back on the fence about some of the changes now that we know CP calculation is being tweaked.

    Well not sure about how things stand with Racial balancing on PTS now, but the only improvement Redguards are getting for magicka is the what 8% reduction cost for either stamina or magicka skillz as I've heard right? This isn't really going to help out dps too much, it may help out *** poor magicka sustain though.

    But RIGHT NOW as it stands in the LIVE GAME the difference IS around 25 to 30% at end game and it is a crock of Sh*t!

    All that matters is how it is on the PTS right now.

    It is best to deal with actual information than what you have heard.

    Redguards aren't made for magicka builds. You'll see a huge difference between a magsorc that uses a "stamina" race versus one that uses a "magicka" race.

    *Edit* Maybe you were joking, in which case, ha ha.

    Hey man I have to get my feedback in after all. I am a legit Redguard MagSorc *wink

    We gotta at least close this ridiculous gap that exists between Redguard MagSorcs and the Altmer MagSorc.

    Well when I started this game over a year ago now, I didn't "get" that Altmers were the preferred race for Magicka Sorcerers. WHY THE F*CK does the Redguard even have a choice to be a MagSorcerer then? I don't really get this?

    And you think your contributions to the other threads on the racials don’t count as getting your feedback in?

    Sure I do, but I'm making sure Redguard Magicka Sorcerers are being HEARD!

    What is the point in complaining about the racial passives on live when we know its changes in a few weeks?

    On the new passives, dont forget the weapon cost reduction applies to ults too. Redguard magsorcs will be popping destro ults like its going out of style.

    I hope your right. I mean I can handle myself pretty well as a MagSorc, not complaining about that but man I have a bone to pick with why Altmers or other races, just because of their RACE, doe 25 to 30% more dps and have BETTER SUSTAIN than Redguard MagSorcs? This really feels broken and stupid.

    Well the same can be said for High Elf Stam Sorcs, why cant they pull as much as a Redguard Stam Sorc. Because they dont get racial passives that benefit the spec.

    We get 3 free race changes you can use one.

    This is what I'm saying. Why do we even need to change races? Why not just give the same ability to Redguard to change Stamina passives to Magicka? Say, make it cost a couple CP points?

    I mean c'mon? I don't see why this would be lore breaking or interrupt the game. Just swapping stamina passives to magicka for Redguard. I mean after all aren't they the necro race? bwahaha

    And why not? Maybe then you'll understand my displeasure at the current situation between Redguard MagSorcs and other more optimized races for Magicka that play MagSorcs?

    I thought the whole POINT of these racial changes was to make other races able to play classes in a more diverse way? I mean like WTF?

    I have no problem at all if they allow Altmers to swap their magicka to stamina also. I mean let the player play as he/she pleases with whichever race or class they feel like.

    No, no... I most certainly agree that the difference needs to be closer. It's just with the weird Stam regen they threw on altmer worries me and I mistook your post to mean altmer had been zos'd again.

    I like your idea about choosing Stam or mag with the passives available, maybe even condition it on your highest max stat. More attributes towards mag means the passives flip to mag, more to Stam they flip to Stam.

    Hell, make it dynamic so if you have a bit of attributes in both, you get a little of both in passives... Hello hybrids!

    True, previous parse was 5-6% or 2K on an 60K parse.
    Most amusing that an Redguard magblade would out dps an Breton magDK on that parse.

    Grinding just make you go in circles.

    Redguard Sorc will be sub-optimal for PvE, but for PvP it should be fine if you build for it. The weapon cost reduction is very strong if you want to use Reach as a spammable.

    Don't compare glory human race with subhuman race!
    History, like a human being, is thirsty when it wakes from its slumber…History wants to drink up an enormous amount of blood. And even if history has tired of drinking blood, that’s only in regards to the amount. But what about quality? The larger the sacrifice is, the more delighted the cruel gods will be.

    It's a role-playing game.

    If someone wants to play a redguard magsorc, why should anyone limit their options?

    Anyway, you get free race change token next patch. Change them to w/e you like.

    Its perfectly ok to complain about racial imbalances.
    But difference is 5-6% or around 3-4K on an 60K parse. If you do 30K this will be 1.5-2K.
