    Argonian has always been at the bottom for top PvE DPS just like Nord is for Stamina. Argonian and Nord get their advantages from increased survivabilty, sustain, and healing making them top choices at other roles. And in PvP dps differences between the races continues to mean very little, that's why Argonian was able to overperform with only 3% Magicka. Argonian will remain a competitive pvp choice.

    Not anymore. Bretons are top both healers and damage

    If you say argonians are under-powered no one will take you serious. Argonian is second top PVP race now. Do you think everyone is noob or fools that crying in forums by false-fully lying and representing PVE will make others agree ?

    People already outraged so many times, ZOs took so long to nerf it . Its L2P issue. Thats it. Dont waste your time.

    Save l2p for yourself. I am not lying. I gave you real numbers from other players
    All i posted there you can read again on top of this discussion.

    Also i speak about PVE DPS ARGONIAN. I don't care about someone said pvp somewhere and now suddenly this is pvp discussion.

    argonians are fine where they at if argonian will get a buff again everyone will be a lizard.
    You can still play argonian be at least happy that their passives are very unquie compared to the rest. Even if the dps is short a couple thousands than the rest they still got good resource pool and substain healing when they need it.

    Maybe it is couple of thousands, but still it is. That means there is aways space to do something for their dps without "making them OP"

    But yes, 500 more magicka means then can wreck you is second.
    500 magicka is SO MUCH OP, man

    Don’t see much when it comes to it. It’s like me saying nord needs more resource pool but I can live with 1k health and 1.5k stam.

    Why would you pick Argonian if you cared so much about PvE DPS?

    Either you like Argonian as a race and can deal with them being 2k DPS behind other races or you clearly picked them because they're strength in PvP.

    Either way you never picked them because of their great performance as PvE DPS.

    Yes, i play argonians in all Elder scrolls games. They are my favourite race.

    Do you wanna know why i push so much to zos for making them at least as strong as are other dps? Ofc because i play dps but thats not only reason.
    I play argonian since eso started and i do remember how they were seriously weak as race.

    Now, when there could be something like completely new racial sistem, we got nothing but nerfs. Other races ( even altmer or Imperial ) got something new, something they can use. But argonians still have same old shi*. Useless shi*. If resourceful is used in pve, my other stats than magicka are full so i get only magicka.
    You said they are OP in pvp. But why is that? Because of resourceful? You think nerfing resourceful from 4,6k to 4k somehow hurts me?

    I would be glad if they remove that useless *** and give something else

    Right now in pve i have 1k magicka, 1k health, 6% healing and 4k magicka regen -when i drink potion. Thats all. Thats all i have and argonians are magicka race. If i played stamina, ok. But you don't think that race which is last in magicka dps and have no stats to stam dps deserve at least 500 more magicka?

    And im also sure some people think this game only revolves around beating on 1 stationary target with 12 people or 15 min...... Argys will still stay BiS healers, on tanks people have other options now, argy will still be very good as a tank dont worry. Nothing much changed on the lizard

    They're no BiS healers unfortunately, that will be the Bretons; 2000 scalable magicka and the sustain will be better than 1000 scalable magicka and 6% healing done. I would much rather get that 4% healing done and healing get back.

    argonian were BIS pve tank, pve healer and magicka pvp...now they will be really good pve tank, pve healer and magicka pvp.

    you can't have everything good for every role and be as good as other race for each role.

    unfortunately for you, you choose dps argonian, with a race design for healing, tanking and pvp.

    btw it doesn't matter so much, you don't loose a lot of dps with argonian

    Orc was designed for Tanking with some DPS. It lost some of its Tank potency but got DPS added.
    Argonian is designed for Tanking and Healing. It lost some of its Tank and Healer Potency and got jack in terms of DPS.

    That's totally fair, right?

    Right? I've been playing an Argonian since like 2002 with TES III and they were never known as tanks or healers. I like the Shadowscales and being a sneaky assassin that uses dual wield, single wield before Skyrim. It would be nice to have a passive that reflects that aspect of our actual IN GAME LORE. It wasn't till Skyrim when they dumbed everything down decided hey lets give Argonians a +5 in restoration and start them with a healing spell. Before that it was always Mysticism and Illusion.I still see nothing for tanking even in Skyrim.

    No instantly getting back almost twice the amount of health, stamina and magica of tripots can be seriously overpowered.
    Dont complain about it, Work around it. Theres always a way to make your racial passive pretty strong.... There are sets aout there that synergize very well with the potion passive+inused jewlery with potion cooldown.

    1) The potion passive is ~52-53% of the value of a tri-stat pot. It's maybe double if you're using a CP50 pot but not for CP150 pots.
    2) The Health restore is cut in half in PvP. 2k Health is a light attack's worth of health, not really gonna do much. Only a Tank in PvP can even use the damn tri-stat effect with any level of success since the health return is worthless, the offer resource restore is enough for 1-2 extra utility casts and the main resource restore just barely keeps up with a race that has natural resource restore, if even that.
    3) CLEVER ALCHEMIST IS CRAP!!!!!!! I could get more sustain/damage by using those Infused Jewelry with Weapon/Spell Damage + Regen enchantments than Clever Alchemist can ever hope to match. It's a useless set and anyone that knows basic math will tell you the same damn thing.
    And im also sure some people think this game only revolves around beating on 1 stationary target with 12 people or 15 min...... Argys will still stay BiS healers, on tanks people have other options now, argy will still be very good as a tank dont worry. Nothing much changed on the lizard

    4) Less Sustain and Magic than a Breton means Argonian CANNOT be a BiS healer by default. It doesn't matter if my BoL heals for 20k or 200k, overhealing is overhealing but when you can sustain yourself better and can provide more utility in the form of more shards/orbs for the group as well as providing dealing more damage while still being fully capable of healing your group, Breton is the clear winner in every regard.
    5) The bar for success on a Tank is ridiculously low. You could be a Tank on any race and have equal levels of success as an Argonian, Argonian was just brain dead easy to do as sustain was less of an issue. I also find it funny that you say there's options for Tank now, while completely glossing over the fact that Healer is now Breton dominated.
    6) Lower sustain = Less potent in every single area of the game. Tanking, Healing, DPS, PvP performance all dropped because of this 1 change but couple it with the removal of Healing received, which hurts our PvP performance and Tanks even more, and we just become mediocre in every area of the game again.

    Only thing they removed is healing taken. First agree that argonian is OP in PVP in live server. If not nothing to discuss further. Even now they're pretty strong in PVP but not cheese race anymore. Everyone who played argonian know they will be nerfed one day to be inline with other races. I don't bother to discuss with people who intentionally provide false information.

    Orc replaces argonian as cheese race.Only thing that requires very serious discussion is Orc. Rest we can talk about minor adjustments.

    They nerfed the potion passive for PvP and left the PvE side of things unbalanced. Argonian's performance in every aspect of the game was nerfed and are now suffering because of it. In PvP, being an Argonian meant trading away the damage of another race for more utility. That utility has been reduced substantially but nothing was added to help bring the damage portion up to par for those changes. THAT'S MY ISSUE!!! It has nothing to be with being the best at something but rather balancing off what Argonian lost by providing it with something to help it out in other ways, which did not happen.

    Why is that so hard for people to understand?

    Seriously stop complaining lol. Me and my wife are imperial healers since launch of game and we have healed everything, so don't say you can't who cares if you are not the best at something. The fact is player skill> passives. We have 0 buffs at all from our imperial healers but yet we are fine so I think you will be.

    I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that one of the best tanks in the game is a khajit before this update again not bis but they have skill so it works.

    Stop trying to be an elitist over fractions and just play the race you like. Yeah they could have did some more changes but then classes become way to op and argonians are one of those races due to pvp. There's a reason why you see a lot of argonians when you pvp right now on live :wink:

    Your Imperial Healers got buffed by getting magic sustain and universal cost reduction to everything; Your race became better healers this patch than you've ever been before so how can you judge others when they got shafted? I never said you couldn't heal or Tank on any race. I said the exact opposite actually and said that, prior to these changes, anyone could Tank and be completely competitive. Competitive is the key word here, as in terms of Tanking, competitive gaming has now been removed from 8/10 Races by the buffs to Imperial and Nord, which is a problem in my eyes. Breton is the same for Healers as the extra sustain means Breton have provide more group utility with more frequent shard/orbs, Combat Prayer, etc usage than the next best race.

    Have you actually spoken to any of those PvPers? Even on the forums, just talking with anyone that race changed into an Argonian for PvP purposes and most of them will tell you the same thing. They noticed a drop in damage and the "God Tier" potion passive has been overestimated. Those that deny this don't play Argonians and are just mimicking the words of Streamers that state this as some sort of fact, when in actuality the only thing that is powerful about it is the fact they abused sets like Fury to face tank everything and return the damage in kind, something anyone can do since those sets are OP. I personally don't give a damn about the potion passive. It's never made me feel stronger than another race because I got back some of my off-resources, if anything I felt handicapped because the off-resource did nothing for me in most situations. I'd always have to pop a potion just to try and keep up with races that already had that stat regen and any downtime meant my sustain was often worse than other races in any real PvP application. It was limited for builds designed solely to outlast your opponent, making it perfect for sets like Fury that built onto that mindset but not so much for anything else. Try running an Argonian Stamblade for a day and see if that passive saves you at all; I'd be willing to bet money that you melt just as quickly as any other race.

    Lol you know I said I've been imperial for 5 years as a healer right? What I get now is 12% health, 10% stam and a stupid red diamond lolol. I can't take what you say seriously one bit because you clearly don't even know imperial. The nunbers have been run and imperial even with their new passives has less sastain than argonian.

    I see argonian stam, tank, and magic all the time. They are everywhere. Are we even playing the same game? Or are you playing Tetris in your head while everyone else plays eso?

    Argonians get 6% healing and potion passive while having 1000 magic that is way better than imperials 333 a tick while doing direct damage and it still won't equal what you have I didn't think it was hard to see the difference but I guess I needed to put them together for you to see the difference.

    The order of best healers will be Breton with reduction and magic and recovery, and argonian with magic, potion passive for sustain, and 6% healing as the top 2 dunmer and altmir have no sustain they are not gonna be best healers. But again they will work just won't be for bis

    And after 5 years, you're getting buffed. The 2k flat Stamina will be better than the 10% you currently get as a Healer, unless your Max Stamina SOMEHOW exceeds 20k on live, which I highly doubt it would. You also gained sustain via Red Diamond, something you didn't have before. Your Health really shouldn't be affected by the switch from 12% to 2k. I said you became better healers and you have in every single way with this patch. I never claimed that you were the best healers, only that you got better. You've also failed to mention the 3% cost reduction Imperial got to EVERYTHING. Blocking, dodging, Ultimates, everything is now cheaper on an Imperial which makes up the difference in Argonian and Imperial sustains, which is only 1k in a 45 second period and the cost reduction will far outstrip the potion passives sustain. Maybe it's you that needs to learn about Imperials, not me.

    It's easy to identify an Argonian, they have tails for goodness sake, so so of course you'd notice them more often than something like a Breton or Imperial. Doesn't really mean anything about their performance in said roles. You said it yourself, Argonian is now only 2nd best healer race, despite having a passive totally devoted to healing only, while other races get passives that are universally more useful, resulting in them being on an almost equal level, if not better, than the one dedicated to the role. It's a balance issue and you clearly don't understand that.

    Lol bro you are as high as a kite saying my 2k stam on my healer is a buff 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

    Their sustain has been tested and proven that it is worse than argonians. 3% cost reduction didn't make Breton best healer when they had that plus 12% max magic so where is your logic that our small sustain and 3% cost reduction is good? It's not even close lol.

    Argonians have 1k max magic (pretty sure that's a buff from your 3% on live) you still get 6% healing and a good sustain can you share what your smoking with me bruh it must be good stuff :wink:

    So you are crying because the top DPS is 6k better than you? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Now I'm crying laughing!

    And im also sure some people think this game only revolves around beating on 1 stationary target with 12 people or 15 min...... Argys will still stay BiS healers, on tanks people have other options now, argy will still be very good as a tank dont worry. Nothing much changed on the lizard

    4) Less Sustain and Magic than a Breton means Argonian CANNOT be a BiS healer by default. It doesn't matter if my BoL heals for 20k or 200k, overhealing is overhealing but when you can sustain yourself better and can provide more utility in the form of more shards/orbs for the group as well as providing dealing more damage while still being fully capable of healing your group, Breton is the clear winner in every regard.
    5) The bar for success on a Tank is ridiculously low. You could be a Tank on any race and have equal levels of success as an Argonian, Argonian was just brain dead easy to do as sustain was less of an issue. I also find it funny that you say there's options for Tank now, while completely glossing over the fact that Healer is now Breton dominated.
    6) Lower sustain = Less potent in every single area of the game. Tanking, Healing, DPS, PvP performance all dropped because of this 1 change but couple it with the removal of Healing received, which hurts our PvP performance and Tanks even more, and we just become mediocre in every area of the game again.

    Seriously stop complaining lol. Me and my wife are imperial healers since launch of game and we have healed everything, so don't say you can't who cares if you are not the best at something. The fact is player skill> passives. We have 0 buffs at all from our imperial healers but yet we are fine so I think you will be.

    I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that one of the best tanks in the game is a khajit before this update again not bis but they have skill so it works.

    Stop trying to be an elitist over fractions and just play the race you like. Yeah they could have did some more changes but then classes become way to op and argonians are one of those races due to pvp. There's a reason why you see a lot of argonians when you pvp right now on live :wink:

    Your Imperial Healers got buffed by getting magic sustain and universal cost reduction to everything; Your race became better healers this patch than you've ever been before so how can you judge others when they got shafted? I never said you couldn't heal or Tank on any race. I said the exact opposite actually and said that, prior to these changes, anyone could Tank and be completely competitive. Competitive is the key word here, as in terms of Tanking, competitive gaming has now been removed from 8/10 Races by the buffs to Imperial and Nord, which is a problem in my eyes. Breton is the same for Healers as the extra sustain means Breton have provide more group utility with more frequent shard/orbs, Combat Prayer, etc usage than the next best race.

    Have you actually spoken to any of those PvPers? Even on the forums, just talking with anyone that race changed into an Argonian for PvP purposes and most of them will tell you the same thing. They noticed a drop in damage and the "God Tier" potion passive has been overestimated. Those that deny this don't play Argonians and are just mimicking the words of Streamers that state this as some sort of fact, when in actuality the only thing that is powerful about it is the fact they abused sets like Fury to face tank everything and return the damage in kind, something anyone can do since those sets are OP. I personally don't give a damn about the potion passive. It's never made me feel stronger than another race because I got back some of my off-resources, if anything I felt handicapped because the off-resource did nothing for me in most situations. I'd always have to pop a potion just to try and keep up with races that already had that stat regen and any downtime meant my sustain was often worse than other races in any real PvP application. It was limited for builds designed solely to outlast your opponent, making it perfect for sets like Fury that built onto that mindset but not so much for anything else. Try running an Argonian Stamblade for a day and see if that passive saves you at all; I'd be willing to bet money that you melt just as quickly as any other race.

    Lol you know I said I've been imperial for 5 years as a healer right? What I get now is 12% health, 10% stam and a stupid red diamond lolol. I can't take what you say seriously one bit because you clearly don't even know imperial. The nunbers have been run and imperial even with their new passives has less sastain than argonian.

    I see argonian stam, tank, and magic all the time. They are everywhere. Are we even playing the same game? Or are you playing Tetris in your head while everyone else plays eso?

    Argonians get 6% healing and potion passive while having 1000 magic that is way better than imperials 333 a tick while doing direct damage and it still won't equal what you have I didn't think it was hard to see the difference but I guess I needed to put them together for you to see the difference.

    The order of best healers will be Breton with reduction and magic and recovery, and argonian with magic, potion passive for sustain, and 6% healing as the top 2 dunmer and altmir have no sustain they are not gonna be best healers. But again they will work just won't be for bis

    And after 5 years, you're getting buffed. The 2k flat Stamina will be better than the 10% you currently get as a Healer, unless your Max Stamina SOMEHOW exceeds 20k on live, which I highly doubt it would. You also gained sustain via Red Diamond, something you didn't have before. Your Health really shouldn't be affected by the switch from 12% to 2k. I said you became better healers and you have in every single way with this patch. I never claimed that you were the best healers, only that you got better. You've also failed to mention the 3% cost reduction Imperial got to EVERYTHING. Blocking, dodging, Ultimates, everything is now cheaper on an Imperial which makes up the difference in Argonian and Imperial sustains, which is only 1k in a 45 second period and the cost reduction will far outstrip the potion passives sustain. Maybe it's you that needs to learn about Imperials, not me.

    It's easy to identify an Argonian, they have tails for goodness sake, so so of course you'd notice them more often than something like a Breton or Imperial. Doesn't really mean anything about their performance in said roles. You said it yourself, Argonian is now only 2nd best healer race, despite having a passive totally devoted to healing only, while other races get passives that are universally more useful, resulting in them being on an almost equal level, if not better, than the one dedicated to the role. It's a balance issue and you clearly don't understand that.

    Lol bro you are as high as a kite saying my 2k stam on my healer is a buff 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

    Their sustain has been tested and proven that it is worse than argonians. 3% cost reduction didn't make Breton best healer when they had that plus 12% max magic so where is your logic that our small sustain and 3% cost reduction is good? It's not even close lol.

    Argonians have 1k max magic (pretty sure that's a buff from your 3% on live) you still get 6% healing and a good sustain can you share what your smoking with me bruh it must be good stuff :wink:

    So you are crying because the top DPS is 6k better than you? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Now I'm crying laughing!

    Ok, I'm done with you. You're troll obviously that can't be reasoned with at all. You choose to ignore race imbalanced and pass it off as though you know what tf you're talking about when in actuality, you couldn't grasp basic math when its plastered in front of you, step by step and given the answer to it.

    No instantly getting back almost twice the amount of health, stamina and magica of tripots can be seriously overpowered.
    Dont complain about it, Work around it. Theres always a way to make your racial passive pretty strong.... There are sets aout there that synergize very well with the potion passive+inused jewlery with potion cooldown.

    1) The potion passive is ~52-53% of the value of a tri-stat pot. It's maybe double if you're using a CP50 pot but not for CP150 pots.
    2) The Health restore is cut in half in PvP. 2k Health is a light attack's worth of health, not really gonna do much. Only a Tank in PvP can even use the damn tri-stat effect with any level of success since the health return is worthless, the offer resource restore is enough for 1-2 extra utility casts and the main resource restore just barely keeps up with a race that has natural resource restore, if even that.
    3) CLEVER ALCHEMIST IS CRAP!!!!!!! I could get more sustain/damage by using those Infused Jewelry with Weapon/Spell Damage + Regen enchantments than Clever Alchemist can ever hope to match. It's a useless set and anyone that knows basic math will tell you the same damn thing.
    And im also sure some people think this game only revolves around beating on 1 stationary target with 12 people or 15 min...... Argys will still stay BiS healers, on tanks people have other options now, argy will still be very good as a tank dont worry. Nothing much changed on the lizard

    Only thing they removed is healing taken. First agree that argonian is OP in PVP in live server. If not nothing to discuss further. Even now they're pretty strong in PVP but not cheese race anymore. Everyone who played argonian know they will be nerfed one day to be inline with other races. I don't bother to discuss with people who intentionally provide false information.

    Orc replaces argonian as cheese race.Only thing that requires very serious discussion is Orc. Rest we can talk about minor adjustments.

    They nerfed the potion passive for PvP and left the PvE side of things unbalanced. Argonian's performance in every aspect of the game was nerfed and are now suffering because of it. In PvP, being an Argonian meant trading away the damage of another race for more utility. That utility has been reduced substantially but nothing was added to help bring the damage portion up to par for those changes. THAT'S MY ISSUE!!! It has nothing to be with being the best at something but rather balancing off what Argonian lost by providing it with something to help it out in other ways, which did not happen.

    Why is that so hard for people to understand?

You choose to ignore race imbalanced and pass it off as though you know what tf you're talking about when in actuality, you couldn't grasp basic math when its plastered in front of you, step by step and given the answer to it.

    Bro that chart you showed only thing that truely mattered out of the whole thing was argonians has weaker DPS due to it's passives but again if they buff argonians they get too op. You are only 4-6k behind the top DPS race that is actually very close and I'm pretty sure it is closer than how live currently is. You are still a top 3 tank and 2nd best healer so tell me if you were a top 3 DPS you don't see how that is op?

    Nord is a bad DPS, bad healer, best tank but yet you don't see nords in this forum crying all day do you? All you argonians people that switched to it after it became so powerful are upset now but that's the problem is you are feels entitled to something your not.

    Don't tell me I don't get numbers lol I get them just fine. It's you that isn't getting numbers. 2 healer, top 3 tank that is your role not damage. Just like imperial we get such "great sustain" and 2000 stam but yet we are worse off than a bosmer and all other stam DPS. But once again imperi is build for being a better tank.

    One of the best tanks in the game has been khajit so you can play any race in any role you like. Player skill> CP/racials so just play what you like.

    So many.people are gonna switch to orc and still lose to argonians, why? Because they aren't good and think the race makes them better almost like it's a crutch. So no I don't care about your argument because I see lizards all the time in pvp and I know just how much they can survive already it was long overdue for a change. Pvp isn't all about burst damage survival can win in long games.

    I see argonian stam, tank, and magic all the time. They are everywhere. Are we even playing the same game? Or are you playing Tetris in your head while everyone else plays eso?

    Argonians get 6% healing and potion passive while having 1000 magic that is way better than imperials 333 a tick while doing direct damage and it still won't equal what you have I didn't think it was hard to see the difference but I guess I needed to put them together for you to see the difference.

    The order of best healers will be Breton with reduction and magic and recovery, and argonian with magic, potion passive for sustain, and 6% healing as the top 2 dunmer and altmir have no sustain they are not gonna be best healers. But again they will work just won't be for bis

    And after 5 years, you're getting buffed. The 2k flat Stamina will be better than the 10% you currently get as a Healer, unless your Max Stamina SOMEHOW exceeds 20k on live, which I highly doubt it would. You also gained sustain via Red Diamond, something you didn't have before. Your Health really shouldn't be affected by the switch from 12% to 2k. I said you became better healers and you have in every single way with this patch. I never claimed that you were the best healers, only that you got better. You've also failed to mention the 3% cost reduction Imperial got to EVERYTHING. Blocking, dodging, Ultimates, everything is now cheaper on an Imperial which makes up the difference in Argonian and Imperial sustains, which is only 1k in a 45 second period and the cost reduction will far outstrip the potion passives sustain. Maybe it's you that needs to learn about Imperials, not me.

    It's easy to identify an Argonian, they have tails for goodness sake, so so of course you'd notice them more often than something like a Breton or Imperial. Doesn't really mean anything about their performance in said roles. You said it yourself, Argonian is now only 2nd best healer race, despite having a passive totally devoted to healing only, while other races get passives that are universally more useful, resulting in them being on an almost equal level, if not better, than the one dedicated to the role. It's a balance issue and you clearly don't understand that.

    Lol bro you are as high as a kite saying my 2k stam on my healer is a buff 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

    Their sustain has been tested and proven that it is worse than argonians. 3% cost reduction didn't make Breton best healer when they had that plus 12% max magic so where is your logic that our small sustain and 3% cost reduction is good? It's not even close lol.

    Argonians have 1k max magic (pretty sure that's a buff from your 3% on live) you still get 6% healing and a good sustain can you share what your smoking with me bruh it must be good stuff :wink:

    Either you like Argonian as a race and can deal with them being 2k DPS behind other races or you...

    You see, that's where difference tells between people who play a roleplaying game and everyone else. ^^ See, if someone likes argonians and isn't ready to sacrifice their identity for 2k dps, it does not mean that they can quite deal with the loss of 2k dps. They'll still feel themselves handicapped at birth, they'll keep getting heat from meta-minded PvE community (the charms of game being both RPG and MMO), it'll keep taking away their enjoyment of the game because the game is both about playing a role and about competitive element. If game demands one to choose between identity and potential of how good they can be, it's not a good thing, and it's not as simple as you've put it.

    No instantly getting back almost twice the amount of health, stamina and magica of tripots can be seriously overpowered.
    Dont complain about it, Work around it. Theres always a way to make your racial passive pretty strong.... There are sets aout there that synergize very well with the potion passive+inused jewlery with potion cooldown.

    1) The potion passive is ~52-53% of the value of a tri-stat pot. It's maybe double if you're using a CP50 pot but not for CP150 pots.
    2) The Health restore is cut in half in PvP. 2k Health is a light attack's worth of health, not really gonna do much. Only a Tank in PvP can even use the damn tri-stat effect with any level of success since the health return is worthless, the offer resource restore is enough for 1-2 extra utility casts and the main resource restore just barely keeps up with a race that has natural resource restore, if even that.
    3) CLEVER ALCHEMIST IS CRAP!!!!!!! I could get more sustain/damage by using those Infused Jewelry with Weapon/Spell Damage + Regen enchantments than Clever Alchemist can ever hope to match. It's a useless set and anyone that knows basic math will tell you the same damn thing.
    And im also sure some people think this game only revolves around beating on 1 stationary target with 12 people or 15 min...... Argys will still stay BiS healers, on tanks people have other options now, argy will still be very good as a tank dont worry. Nothing much changed on the lizard

    4) Less Sustain and Magic than a Breton means Argonian CANNOT be a BiS healer by default. It doesn't matter if my BoL heals for 20k or 200k, overhealing is overhealing but when you can sustain yourself better and can provide more utility in the form of more shards/orbs for the group as well as providing dealing more damage while still being fully capable of healing your group, Breton is the clear winner in every regard.
    5) The bar for success on a Tank is ridiculously low. You could be a Tank on any race and have equal levels of success as an Argonian, Argonian was just brain dead easy to do as sustain was less of an issue. I also find it funny that you say there's options for Tank now, while completely glossing over the fact that Healer is now Breton dominated.
    6) Lower sustain = Less potent in every single area of the game. Tanking, Healing, DPS, PvP performance all dropped because of this 1 change but couple it with the removal of Healing received, which hurts our PvP performance and Tanks even more, and we just become mediocre in every area of the game again.

    Only thing they removed is healing taken. First agree that argonian is OP in PVP in live server. If not nothing to discuss further. Even now they're pretty strong in PVP but not cheese race anymore. Everyone who played argonian know they will be nerfed one day to be inline with other races. I don't bother to discuss with people who intentionally provide false information.

    Orc replaces argonian as cheese race.Only thing that requires very serious discussion is Orc. Rest we can talk about minor adjustments.

    They nerfed the potion passive for PvP and left the PvE side of things unbalanced. Argonian's performance in every aspect of the game was nerfed and are now suffering because of it. In PvP, being an Argonian meant trading away the damage of another race for more utility. That utility has been reduced substantially but nothing was added to help bring the damage portion up to par for those changes. THAT'S MY ISSUE!!! It has nothing to be with being the best at something but rather balancing off what Argonian lost by providing it with something to help it out in other ways, which did not happen.

    Why is that so hard for people to understand?

    Seriously stop complaining lol. Me and my wife are imperial healers since launch of game and we have healed everything, so don't say you can't who cares if you are not the best at something. The fact is player skill> passives. We have 0 buffs at all from our imperial healers but yet we are fine so I think you will be.

    I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that one of the best tanks in the game is a khajit before this update again not bis but they have skill so it works.

    Stop trying to be an elitist over fractions and just play the race you like. Yeah they could have did some more changes but then classes become way to op and argonians are one of those races due to pvp. There's a reason why you see a lot of argonians when you pvp right now on live :wink:

    Your Imperial Healers got buffed by getting magic sustain and universal cost reduction to everything; Your race became better healers this patch than you've ever been before so how can you judge others when they got shafted? I never said you couldn't heal or Tank on any race. I said the exact opposite actually and said that, prior to these changes, anyone could Tank and be completely competitive. Competitive is the key word here, as in terms of Tanking, competitive gaming has now been removed from 8/10 Races by the buffs to Imperial and Nord, which is a problem in my eyes. Breton is the same for Healers as the extra sustain means Breton have provide more group utility with more frequent shard/orbs, Combat Prayer, etc usage than the next best race.

    Have you actually spoken to any of those PvPers? Even on the forums, just talking with anyone that race changed into an Argonian for PvP purposes and most of them will tell you the same thing. They noticed a drop in damage and the "God Tier" potion passive has been overestimated. Those that deny this don't play Argonians and are just mimicking the words of Streamers that state this as some sort of fact, when in actuality the only thing that is powerful about it is the fact they abused sets like Fury to face tank everything and return the damage in kind, something anyone can do since those sets are OP. I personally don't give a damn about the potion passive. It's never made me feel stronger than another race because I got back some of my off-resources, if anything I felt handicapped because the off-resource did nothing for me in most situations. I'd always have to pop a potion just to try and keep up with races that already had that stat regen and any downtime meant my sustain was often worse than other races in any real PvP application. It was limited for builds designed solely to outlast your opponent, making it perfect for sets like Fury that built onto that mindset but not so much for anything else. Try running an Argonian Stamblade for a day and see if that passive saves you at all; I'd be willing to bet money that you melt just as quickly as any other race.

    Lol you know I said I've been imperial for 5 years as a healer right? What I get now is 12% health, 10% stam and a stupid red diamond lolol.

    So you are crying because the top DPS is 6k better than you? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Now I'm crying laughing!

    Ok, I'm done with you. You're troll obviously that can't be reasoned with at all. You choose to ignore race imbalanced and pass it off as though you know what tf you're talking about when in actuality, you couldn't grasp basic math when its plastered in front of you, step by step and given the answer to it.

    Bro that chart you showed only thing that truely mattered out of the whole thing was argonians has weaker DPS due to it's passives but again if they buff argonians they get too op. You are only 4-6k behind the top DPS race that is actually very close and I'm pretty sure it is closer than how live currently is. You are still a top 3 tank and 2nd best healer so tell me if you were a top 3 DPS you don't see how that is op?

    Nord is a bad DPS, bad healer, best tank but yet you don't see nords in this forum crying all day do you? All you argonians people that switched to it after it became so powerful are upset now but that's the problem is you are feels entitled to something your not.

    Don't tell me I don't get numbers lol I get them just fine. It's you that isn't getting numbers. 2 healer, top 3 tank that is your role not damage. Just like imperial we get such "great sustain" and 2000 stam but yet we are worse off than a bosmer and all other stam DPS. But once again imperi is build for being a better tank.

    One of the best tanks in the game has been khajit so you can play any race in any role you like. Player skill> CP/racials so just play what you like.

    So many.people are gonna switch to orc and still lose to argonians, why? Because they aren't good and think the race makes them better almost like it's a crutch. So no I don't care about your argument because I see lizards all the time in pvp and I know just how much they can survive already it was long overdue for a change. Pvp isn't all about burst damage survival can win in long games.

    At least Nords are best at something. Tell me. How you wanna justify breton is best healer AND dps? How is this ballanced if they did it soooo good.

    They screwed it and you know it. Because they don't know what to do to ballance races

    You can say - he is argonian. Because of tail. But how you know there isnt more bretons, redguards or altmers?
    You really think there is more argonians than altmers on live? Do you have proof?

    This is utopia in a theme park MMORPG. In that regard we can make it about everything and nothing when someone is pleased or not. Classes, professions, equipment, whatever.

    The game is there and you choose what you like. It's your choice, you cannot change the game. Change yourself, adapt or quit. It's that easy. I am playing Argonian myself by the way.

    If you want to play an Argonian, do it and respect that they are a bit weaker for PvE DPS than other races but have other bonuses. If DPS matters more to you than your racial choice, don't pick Argonian. It's really that simple. If you reduce the game to competitiveness in DPS it's solely your fault when you're disappointed in the end because of your narrow mind.

    @Seraphayel , frankly, you playing argonian doesn't tell me anything about what role you play, but fact is, it's not relevant. I'm simply responding to your "...can deal with them being 2k dps behind..." statement - clearly, it's not based on anything. "You like argonian" does not automatically lead to "can deal", it's a logical fallacy. Maybe he can, maybe he can't, you don't know; maybe it'll make game less enjoyable, maybe he'll find another game, but point in case, those two things above are not related. He might be a paying customer, and he chose to deal with "identity vs. performance" by addressing developers with complaints about the product he's paying for. Who are you to tell him to change himself instead.

    Argonians get 6% healing and potion passive while having 1000 magic that is way better than imperials 333 a tick while doing direct damage and it still won't equal what you have I didn't think it was hard to see the difference but I guess I needed to put them together for you to see the difference.

    The order of best healers will be Breton with reduction and magic and recovery, and argonian with magic, potion passive for sustain, and 6% healing as the top 2 dunmer and altmir have no sustain they are not gonna be best healers. But again they will work just won't be for bis

    And after 5 years, you're getting buffed. The 2k flat Stamina will be better than the 10% you currently get as a Healer, unless your Max Stamina SOMEHOW exceeds 20k on live, which I highly doubt it would. You also gained sustain via Red Diamond, something you didn't have before. Your Health really shouldn't be affected by the switch from 12% to 2k. I said you became better healers and you have in every single way with this patch. I never claimed that you were the best healers, only that you got better. You've also failed to mention the 3% cost reduction Imperial got to EVERYTHING. Blocking, dodging, Ultimates, everything is now cheaper on an Imperial which makes up the difference in Argonian and Imperial sustains, which is only 1k in a 45 second period and the cost reduction will far outstrip the potion passives sustain. Maybe it's you that needs to learn about Imperials, not me.

    It's easy to identify an Argonian, they have tails for goodness sake, so so of course you'd notice them more often than something like a Breton or Imperial. Doesn't really mean anything about their performance in said roles. You said it yourself, Argonian is now only 2nd best healer race, despite having a passive totally devoted to healing only, while other races get passives that are universally more useful, resulting in them being on an almost equal level, if not better, than the one dedicated to the role. It's a balance issue and you clearly don't understand that.

    Lol bro you are as high as a kite saying my 2k stam on my healer is a buff 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

    Their sustain has been tested and proven that it is worse than argonians. 3% cost reduction didn't make Breton best healer when they had that plus 12% max magic so where is your logic that our small sustain and 3% cost reduction is good? It's not even close lol.

    Argonians have 1k max magic (pretty sure that's a buff from your 3% on live) you still get 6% healing and a good sustain can you share what your smoking with me bruh it must be good stuff :wink:

    So you are crying because the top DPS is 6k better than you? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Now I'm crying laughing!

    Ok, I'm done with you. You're troll obviously that can't be reasoned with at all. You choose to ignore race imbalanced and pass it off as though you know what tf you're talking about when in actuality, you couldn't grasp basic math when its plastered in front of you, step by step and given the answer to it.

    Bro that chart you showed only thing that truely mattered out of the whole thing was argonians has weaker DPS due to it's passives but again if they buff argonians they get too op. You are only 4-6k behind the top DPS race that is actually very close and I'm pretty sure it is closer than how live currently is. You are still a top 3 tank and 2nd best healer so tell me if you were a top 3 DPS you don't see how that is op?

    Nord is a bad DPS, bad healer, best tank but yet you don't see nords in this forum crying all day do you? All you argonians people that switched to it after it became so powerful are upset now but that's the problem is you are feels entitled to something your not.

    Don't tell me I don't get numbers lol I get them just fine. It's you that isn't getting numbers. 2 healer, top 3 tank that is your role not damage. Just like imperial we get such "great sustain" and 2000 stam but yet we are worse off than a bosmer and all other stam DPS. But once again imperi is build for being a better tank.

    One of the best tanks in the game has been khajit so you can play any race in any role you like. Player skill> CP/racials so just play what you like.

    So many.people are gonna switch to orc and still lose to argonians, why? Because they aren't good and think the race makes them better almost like it's a crutch. So no I don't care about your argument because I see lizards all the time in pvp and I know just how much they can survive already it was long overdue for a change. Pvp isn't all about burst damage survival can win in long games.

    I've been an Argonian since launch, back when the potion passive was a buff to the potion's effectiveness before 1.6 turned it into a 8% tri-stat restore and then buffed up to 12% in Thieves Guild before Morrowind made it the flat 4670 we have on Live. I'll even link you some of my posts from way back in the day that shows I've been playing Argonian since forever. I've never switched my race and I still won't so stop assuming I play Argonian because its OP.

    I do in fact see Nords complaining on the forums. Have you not read any of @Daus post here on the forums complaining about Nords? Man's as adamant about Nords as I am about Argonians. Also, I didn't post that chart as it was clearly posted by a totally different user than me. It wasn't just about DPS, it also highlighted something else.
    Imperial

    These changes are feeling great for Imperial. Their sustain is just slightly find that Bosmer and Redguard and significantly better than that of Khajiit. The parses show how much their DPS improved. Though I specifically did not test this, I think based on the rest that using Lava Foot and Health enchants to get to 17K HP, Imperials will beat Redguard, Bosmer and Khajiit as DPS. They should be at least Argonian level on Magicka DPS too.

    This implication alone puts Imperial on a better spot than 3 other races that are sustain based, while being on par with Argonian Magic, DESPITE not having any other Magic related passives.That alone proves your argument wrong because it shows that Imperials, despite being a top tier tank, is in fact doing better than half the DPS races in the game so you CLEARLY don't know the numbers, despite your best attempts to state otherwise.

    The Tank role on Live is open to everyone. Anyone can be a Tank at a competitive level because the only goal is to remain alive and do as much group support as possible. No racial currently on Live provides group utility and all races can wear Alkosh/Ebon/etc. to provide all the group utility. Argonian has the easiest time for Tanking because of the potion passive but doesn't necessarily offer anything you can't overcome with player skill. That's balanced. On PTS however, this balanced has shifted in favor of Nords and Imperials that are now offering more frequent Warhorns, resulting in more group utility than all other races. That's not balanced.

    The only thing factual about your post is the last part in which people that do actually race switch are only doing so because they believe it'll make them better but that's not what is being argued here. It's about balance, it's always been about balance. I give a damn about balance, its why I'm not happy about Argonians being shafted, about Altmer losing their Magic sustain, about Nord being only a Tank. I've commented on all these changes and then some because I want the game to be balanced so when people like you think I'm only in it because I'm some stupid meta chasing moron, I can't help but get a little offended because its just not true.

    And im also sure some people think this game only revolves around beating on 1 stationary target with 12 people or 15 min...... Argys will still stay BiS healers, on tanks people have other options now, argy will still be very good as a tank dont worry. Nothing much changed on the lizard

    If one is to believe your signature then you only play Khajiit characters so where is your expertise on argonian matters coming from?
    As you keep saying 'believe me' but i don't see on what ground I should accept your words.
    @phantasmalD
    I played a Breton healer for over a year in Pvp before I made him a Argonian for another year cause the sustain was so much better not to mention beeing stupidly tanky. . :lol:
    Also tested argy on nb, dk & sorc with the same conclusion. The only reason for me changing back to khajiit is because khajiit look so much better.
    Nice try wise guy, turned him into a stamplar 4 months ago (khajiit)

    And the issue is that argy is pretty much BiS for every setup mag or Stam(Exept ganking) in pvp. Why? Well the excellent sustain, 2nd highest max hp bonus behind Imperial, desease and poison resistance and very high healing received and done. No wonder that with all the lizards walking around ZOS decided to tune down their tankyness and sustain a bit.

    Nerf argonian ^^ They have lost all of the roles....

    I dont find this thread funny...its more about crying for me. You simply cant be siriously with buffing argonian to all 3 roles. No Race is good on all 3 roles. Imperials arent made for DDs, but you can play it, if you really want it. Highelfs arent made for Healers anymore, Redguard isnt the top dps but the top sustain race and you dont take it for a sirious tank, no one would play a breton tank too (if you tank in raidgroups), nords are crap DDs....and go on and on.

    There have to be an weak point on each race....learn to play with it or not. But dont cry, if you dont want to change.

    No instantly getting back almost twice the amount of health, stamina and magica of tripots can be seriously overpowered.
    Dont complain about it, Work around it. Theres always a way to make your racial passive pretty strong.... There are sets aout there that synergize very well with the potion passive+inused jewlery with potion cooldown.

    1) The potion passive is ~52-53% of the value of a tri-stat pot. It's maybe double if you're using a CP50 pot but not for CP150 pots.
    2) The Health restore is cut in half in PvP. 2k Health is a light attack's worth of health, not really gonna do much. Only a Tank in PvP can even use the damn tri-stat effect with any level of success since the health return is worthless, the offer resource restore is enough for 1-2 extra utility casts and the main resource restore just barely keeps up with a race that has natural resource restore, if even that.
    3) CLEVER ALCHEMIST IS CRAP!!!!!!! I could get more sustain/damage by using those Infused Jewelry with Weapon/Spell Damage + Regen enchantments than Clever Alchemist can ever hope to match. It's a useless set and anyone that knows basic math will tell you the same damn thing.
    And im also sure some people think this game only revolves around beating on 1 stationary target with 12 people or 15 min...... Argys will still stay BiS healers, on tanks people have other options now, argy will still be very good as a tank dont worry. Nothing much changed on the lizard

    4) Less Sustain and Magic than a Breton means Argonian CANNOT be a BiS healer by default. It doesn't matter if my BoL heals for 20k or 200k, overhealing is overhealing but when you can sustain yourself better and can provide more utility in the form of more shards/orbs for the group as well as providing dealing more damage while still being fully capable of healing your group, Breton is the clear winner in every regard.
    5) The bar for success on a Tank is ridiculously low. You could be a Tank on any race and have equal levels of success as an Argonian, Argonian was just brain dead easy to do as sustain was less of an issue. I also find it funny that you say there's options for Tank now, while completely glossing over the fact that Healer is now Breton dominated.
    6) Lower sustain = Less potent in every single area of the game. Tanking, Healing, DPS, PvP performance all dropped because of this 1 change but couple it with the removal of Healing received, which hurts our PvP performance and Tanks even more, and we just become mediocre in every area of the game again.

    Only thing they removed is healing taken. First agree that argonian is OP in PVP in live server. If not nothing to discuss further. Even now they're pretty strong in PVP but not cheese race anymore. Everyone who played argonian know they will be nerfed one day to be inline with other races. I don't bother to discuss with people who intentionally provide false information.

    Orc replaces argonian as cheese race.Only thing that requires very serious discussion is Orc. Rest we can talk about minor adjustments.

    They nerfed the potion passive for PvP and left the PvE side of things unbalanced. Argonian's performance in every aspect of the game was nerfed and are now suffering because of it. In PvP, being an Argonian meant trading away the damage of another race for more utility. That utility has been reduced substantially but nothing was added to help bring the damage portion up to par for those changes. THAT'S MY ISSUE!!! It has nothing to be with being the best at something but rather balancing off what Argonian lost by providing it with something to help it out in other ways, which did not happen.

    Why is that so hard for people to understand?

    Seriously stop complaining lol. Me and my wife are imperial healers since launch of game and we have healed everything, so don't say you can't who cares if you are not the best at something. The fact is player skill> passives. We have 0 buffs at all from our imperial healers but yet we are fine so I think you will be.

    I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that one of the best tanks in the game is a khajit before this update again not bis but they have skill so it works.

    Stop trying to be an elitist over fractions and just play the race you like. Yeah they could have did some more changes but then classes become way to op and argonians are one of those races due to pvp. There's a reason why you see a lot of argonians when you pvp right now on live :wink:

    Your Imperial Healers got buffed by getting magic sustain and universal cost reduction to everything; Your race became better healers this patch than you've ever been before so how can you judge others when they got shafted? I never said you couldn't heal or Tank on any race. I said the exact opposite actually and said that, prior to these changes, anyone could Tank and be completely competitive. Competitive is the key word here, as in terms of Tanking, competitive gaming has now been removed from 8/10 Races by the buffs to Imperial and Nord, which is a problem in my eyes. Breton is the same for Healers as the extra sustain means Breton have provide more group utility with more frequent shard/orbs, Combat Prayer, etc usage than the next best race.

    Have you actually spoken to any of those PvPers? Even on the forums, just talking with anyone that race changed into an Argonian for PvP purposes and most of them will tell you the same thing. They noticed a drop in damage and the "God Tier" potion passive has been overestimated. Those that deny this don't play Argonians and are just mimicking the words of Streamers that state this as some sort of fact, when in actuality the only thing that is powerful about it is the fact they abused sets like Fury to face tank everything and return the damage in kind, something anyone can do since those sets are OP. I personally don't give a damn about the potion passive. It's never made me feel stronger than another race because I got back some of my off-resources, if anything I felt handicapped because the off-resource did nothing for me in most situations. I'd always have to pop a potion just to try and keep up with races that already had that stat regen and any downtime meant my sustain was often worse than other races in any real PvP application. It was limited for builds designed solely to outlast your opponent, making it perfect for sets like Fury that built onto that mindset but not so much for anything else. Try running an Argonian Stamblade for a day and see if that passive saves you at all; I'd be willing to bet money that you melt just as quickly as any other race.

    Lol you know I said I've been imperial for 5 years as a healer right? What I get now is 12% health, 10% stam and a stupid red diamond lolol. I can't take what you say seriously one bit because you clearly don't even know imperial. The nunbers have been run and imperial even with their new passives has less sastain than argonian.

    I see argonian stam, tank, and magic all the time. They are everywhere. Are we even playing the same game? Or are you playing Tetris in your head while everyone else plays eso?

    @Seraphayel , the game changes all the time. We, players, also have a say in it. It happened before (and no, outrage about shield cast time may be the most glaring example, but by far not the only one), it will happen in the future.

    It's about BALANCE. The nerf to Argonians hurts them in more than just PvP and even in terms of PvP was heavy handed AF. In PvP, their damage was already lower than the other races but they had staying power, which was the trade off. Their staying power has been lowered significantly but their damage was not increased to compensate, while all other races got more damage or staying power, which offset that balance. It's not even about buffing Argonians in all 3 roles (which funnily enough Imperials, Dunmer and Khajiit got exactly that so a really bad argument to make), it's about helping Argonian in order to try and establish a better balanced game for both PvP and PvE, something that might as well be an alien concept.

    Yeah regain all three ressources was never a good trait, right? Especially, if you look to the other races, which have to sacrifice more to sustain than argonian...its not about dmg in pvp, its about sustain and survivable.

    This is more Crying and Lazyness about changing something. Nothing less. Races are very well balanced on pts now.

    Damage is a part of PvP just as much as sustain and survivability; If you hit like a wet noodle, it doesn't matter how much you sustain you have since you aren't killing anything and if you build yourself to be a Glass Cannon, you can't complain about being 1 shot by Lethal Arrow. A race like Dunmer trades sustain for damage vs Argonian that trades damage for sustain; a Dunmer builds for sustain while an Argonian builds for damage, these are trade offs.You're also failing to take into considering that the health restore is cut in half in PvP so it barely restores anything at all, it's more a bi-stat restore than a tri-stat, which Khajiit and Imperial both have now on top of better damage and more Max resources. Are you going to complain that Khajiit and Imperial are now OP in PvP because of this? No, because you don't give a damn about balance, you're just using it as a veil for being blissfully unaware of what balance truly is.

    You simply cant dmg without sustain. And youre restore is always on all three stats - thats why are you playing tristatpots in Cyro, also with the cyrodebuff on Heal and Max HP. We're just talking about ~900 Stam/Magreg for free + 800 as Basicreg (with Pot CD on glyphes). Other Races have to build with Regfood, Regglyphes and Setitems for that amount of reg. And you are going to tell me, i dont unterstand very much about balance? You dont even notice the dmg from an Imperial with 2k Stam, its about ~200 dmg on your overalldmg (maximal). Crit and the Khajitreg doesnt help you in Pvp that much too, because of Incap and an Amount from 50 r/s, which is basicly nothing infront of the skilldrains. Max ressources arent helping you with your Sustain, too, but all you see is a Buff to other races and a nerf to argonians.Youre just dodging these facts and nothing more. This is just like: i will all of it, but i wont lose anything

    "Oh, you guys don't have to build for sustain, you can just use Tri-stat potions with Potion CD Glyphs" THAT'S BUILDING FOR SUSTAIN!!!! The very thing you say we don't have to do. It's nowhere near 900 Stam/Magic regen, not even close. In the absolute best case scenario, the potion passive on a 21 second CD will grant 191 Magic/Stamina regen per second, not even 1/4 of the value you stated. This is not boosted by CP or any other factors and requires you to give up Jewelry Traits and Enchantments, reducing your damage even more than it already is. You're legit better off using basic regen glyphs and getting more sustain than you are using Potion CD glyphs. You can still defile an Argonian with skills like Incap, its not something we're immunity to as any skill that applies Defile (Incap, Dark Flare, Reverb, etc) can still defile an Argonian, further reducing the usefulness of the potion passive's heal.

    If the 2k Max Stamina of Imperial does nothing in terms of damage, that would mean races like Breton, Redguard and Bosmer are also completely worthless for PvP because they only gain the 2k Max Resource too but that's far from true. On top of all those races having sustain that is more or less on par with Argonian, if not better, they all deal more damage as well. In the case of Imperial, they also have 1k more Health too. The Crit Damage on Khajiit is no longer their only form of a damage boost since they got Max resources now as well and while it's lower than Argonians in terms of Health/Magic, the difference is <200 while also having Max Stamina and their regen passive is boosted by CP/Vampirism/etc to boot.

    I'm not dodging facts, you just aren't presenting any facts in your argument, just like everyone else that has tried and failed to argue this point countless times before.

    We're just talking about ~900 Stam/Magreg for free + 800 as Basicreg (with Pot CD on glyphes).

    Uh...what? No. With 3 potion cooldown glyphs on 3 infused jewelry pieces, you can hit a potion every 21 seconds. Resourceful adds 4620 on Live, so 4620/21 = 220 per second, x2 to match recovery numbers you find on gear, 440 recovery added by the passive. Note that this will not be modified by any other boosts to your recovery.

    This patch takes that added recovery down to 380, everything else above kept the same.

    Or, you could take 3 arcane pieces of jewelry and put magicka recovery on them. That's 169x3, or 507 magicka recovery. Also 870x3 magicka, for 2610 more magicka in your pool. Unlike Resourceful, both of those will be further increased by any other modifiers you have.

    So, no where near as powerful as you're portraying it to be. Yes, you're getting recovery on all three stats, and that's meaningful. Resourceful is a really good passive in PvP, nobody's disagreeing there, I think. If it needs to be nerfed further in order to get the overall balance right, then they should do that.

    But now look at it from a PvE perspective. Pushing Resourceful to its fullest, you're still getting less magicka recovered from going all-out with potion cooldown than you would have if you'd just gone with magicka recovery glyphs. And if you're healing (or DPSing) the health and stamina recovered isn't going to mean much, and is likely to just over-heal or "over-restore".

    So in PvE this passive isn't actually exciting enough to build around. Go ahead and nerf it, I say. Then give Argonians something that's compelling in both parts of the game, rather than the current Resourceful ball-and-chain that prevents the larger portion of the game's population (PvE players) from getting more to boost their performance in the standard tri-fecta of roles.

    But I have no doubt you will continue with your "Argonian Master Race" ranting because some Argonian outlasted you in 1vX this one time, and blow off everything I just said.

    I'm resigned to switching to Khajiit, plus it's neat that they're even an option now. The 85 magicka recovery, plus 14% from CP, 10% vampirism, 20% from 5 pieces light armor, and 20% from major intellect grows to about 150 recovery, with smaller gains to health and stamina recovery.

    150's very close to the ~178-equivalent recovery from drinking potions every 45 seconds, but always-on, minus the cost and effort

    On average I think I'll gain about 3% dps and lose as much self-healing, and the sneak will be handy for other things.

    And my passives will be slightly less useful in no-CP PvP where I don't play, so people won't be crying that they're OP because they died in a battleground.
