Wood Elf role with the new race passives

✭✭✭✭✭
So, with most races having more or less relatively clear roles, what's a Wood Elf for?

✭✭✭✭✭Roleplay and some PvP. They can also work as DDs fairly well if you are not going for a score run.1 -
TheInfernalRage✭✭✭✭✭I'm thinking, we can have wood elves be the one in charge of resurrecting fallen comrades. So one trial party should have one rez player.
BOSS: I'm not about to do anything wicked so why are you roll dodging?
BOSMER: It increases my damage?
BOSS: WTF15 -

it reminds me of that scene in Galaxy quest where the captain is rolling and then sigourney Weaver asks ...why you doing that... And he responds... It helps...
Then she asks... Where's your gun?

✭✭✭✭✭They are a good choice for PvE DPS imo. It is easiest to parse consistently with them and in real situations their sustain will be higher than Redguard. Sure, top PvErs will get higher parses with Khajiit or Dunmer but for the vast majority, Bosmer will be better simply due to the sustain. They are very very close to Redguard for sustain purposes and in real fights, will beat them.
For PvP, they can be a great choice if you build to their advantages, using roll dodge sets like Senche, Eternal Hunt and Truth.
Not comparing with Orc, they too good for both.2 -

I also heard a rumor from a different topic that Bosmer and Breton women make great Vampire Loli RP characters.
Personally not a fan but hey there's an idea for you.Edited by Nyladreas on February 8, 2019 11:51AM2 -

You are not afraid of swarm of bosmer stamplars in kagrenac's hope resing each other almost instantly in cyrodiil?
Devs are afraid for sure, so this is not a variant.1 -

You never seen any movies with archers using agility to quickly reposition/roll/dodge/jump or leap to gain an advantage over someone's weak spots or get a better shot at their armor gaps? The new racial actually makes a lot of sense for Bosmer as they're known for their acrobatic skills.Edited by Nyladreas on February 8, 2019 11:57AM1 -

✭✭✭✭✭They remain the undisputed BiS for cute. Gosh, isn't that enough?
Seriously, I only play Bosmer - in spite of their racials, and they do fine. Healplar, Magsorc, BowBow stamsorc. Their racials were. . . unhelpful before the pending changes and nothing will change in that regard.Edited by AcadianPaladin on February 8, 2019 12:14PMPC NA(no Steam), PvE, mostly solo2 -

✭✭✭✭✭They’ll be decent aggressive PVP archers. I’ve been experimenting with a stamNB bosmer on live, and the roll dodge passives will only make it better. I’m running Spinners and Marksman, and only use stealth offensively (i.e. cloaking once before firing Relentless proc). No Snipe, because that’s a no-skill crutch. Dodge rolling into cloak will provide even more penetration for Relentless procs, and will synergize nicely with pre-existing bow speed buffs. Also, since bosmer have great sustain and Marksman is a decent sustain set, you can build for weapon damage (which is not always easy with bow builds).0 -
Vermethys✭✭✭✭Bosmer racials are relatively not too special (looking at you, Orcs), but they make good stamina DDs I think. Especially for dungeons, where 90% of the time (totally factual data) your healer isn't a healer and doesn't provide orbs for sustain. They work best on classes with class spammables and high regen modifiers, like NB and Warden. In terms of DPS, they are only marginally behind and probably tied with Redguard, so they are fine in that regard.
For PvP, I'm not sure. But they have a built-in Serpent mundus basically and have as much max stamina as a Redguard, so they probably can be good for stam classes that need the extra sustain. Not the best option, but they work I guess.Edited by Vermethys on February 8, 2019 12:40PMPC EU CP1400+

Have you ever played s TES game where this ever happened? Are we led to believe that between TESO and the first game Bosmers FORGOT how to get a speed boost and armor pen on a roll?
Avengers movies aside most archers stand still and line up a devistating shot. Not roll around on the floor.
And bosmers rolling around on tree limbs makes no sense unless that leads to them also be learning how to take reduced damage from falling from a great height.
Being great acrobatics =\= rolling on the floor. In the case of a forest it would mean climbing, leaping, and swinging. In the olympics this translates to less like floor exercise and more like parallel/unparallel beams.2 -

This sentence doesn’t really make sense, so I’m not entirely sure what you’re trying to say. Are you suggesting that I’m implying you’ll have to rely on the passive for decent DPS? If so, running Spriggans/Marksman/Domi/Kena on a stamNB bow build already nets a lot of DPS. You don’t have to “squeeze” DPS out of the roll dodge passive. What I’m saying is that it’ll give a nice little boost before bursting with Relentless.0 -

I mean of you're going to argument like that then go ahead and develop a brand new acrobatics system for ESO.
Look, I get it, you don't like how the numbers work after the changes. Doesn't mean you have to ruin a good idea with overanalyzing everything.
It doesn't exactly look nice.0 -
