We've shifted this over to a utility passive, and slightly increased it.
Just gonna leave this here.
They could of added anything else and pve high elf players would be happy.
Not sure about that TBH. If we go by the dev comment they would have added something that is "useless" anyways as to not give Altmer a buff. Which you would still have people complaining about Altmer being worse than Breton.
They don't want to give them a DPS buff. That doesn't mean the passive needs to be useless. +1000 health or +20% shield strength are two extremely useful changes they coild have made that also don't impact DPS in any way.
Instead, they gave us a passive that is only useful, and barely at that, in PvP.
You are complaining about a lore breaking passive and you suggest to be replaced with another lore breaking passive.
So the issue isn't really about a lore breaking passive. The issue is that the lore breaking passive doesn't fit ur agenda.
Shield strength isn't lore-breaking, so I assume it's the health you mean.
Well, it's a bit of a stretch. Altmer are said to have superior physical bodies. That used to be paralysis or disease resistance. Extra health is a bit off, but it works better for ESO mechanics. It's... somewhat acceptable.
I initially expected that when ZOS hinted at the Spell Recharge rework. Would have made a lot more sense and required minimal effort.

If these changes are part of a bigger picture, then let us know.
But I'm not going to infer that, especially when the developer in question is ZOS. If there is one thing ZOS has shown us over all these years, it's that they can't see beyond their noses. They have a history of making terrible, short-sighted changes.
