Redguard has powerful racials currently on live serves and after new patch it will be even more powerful... you should feel lucky you did not got the "argonian" treatment on redguard.... imho that is.
Argonians are bad? 6% healing done, 1K magicka (previously was 3%), 1k Health (better for Non Tank players) and massive resources from pots?
They are doing better from previously! They are clearly not best choice for PVE DD (was not previously either) but best healer, good tank and still excellent for PVP+
1k magicka is better than 3%? For me on live it is 1034magicka.
1k health better for non-tanks? With 18khp its 1400 health
6% healing done better than spell damage 250? If you have over 4300 spell damage, sure
No poison status immunity

Rofl, that's a non-factor if you are playing a stam build. You will always break free/roll rendering it useless. Maybe some magicka user can use it somehow but it adds really nothing.

Rofl thats why I didnt mention argonian
I was trying to compare Redguard with orc...
Altmer with Dunmer
I mean lets be honest here...with a few sets you can off set most of what one gains from Altmer and Redguard.. I know this because I turned off the racials on live...and noticed it didnt make a difference...
but when you are given health for free and both weapon and spell damage for free.. .with stamina and magicka 250 less than a altmer...
come on now...you can't deny it.

I've also been wondering about this. How does having the same spell damage but 125 less Magicka make Dunmer superior to Altmer? I suppose having a higher off-stat pool? But then Altmer have a way to restore their off-stat.
125 magicka is around 12 spell damage. It won't produce any difference in actual gameplay (DPS difference will be around 0.001% at 50k).
Dunmer trades being 0.001% worse at magicka DPS for being the #2 stamina DPS race as well. Sure their stamina potency doesn't help their magicka DPS, but it makes them a more valuable race overall because someone can be a top magicka or stamina DPS with their Dunmer. Altmer provides virtually no magicka DPS advantage, and can't play stamina DPS at all.

With that said- Altmer are better than being a magicka DPS than Dunmer. Plain and simple.
Being able to swap back and forth between magicka DPS and stamina DPS isn't OP... it's annoying. Who the hell wants to constantly swap their CP (which costs gold), their gear (which costs gold), and their skills (which also costs gold). Stop acting like it's a "bonus"... it's not. Dunmer don't benefit from BOTH weapon and spell damage- they get either/or. Dunmer cannot outperform Altmer in magicka DPS.

I'm not saying that Dunmer are in a good spot. The whole concept of hybrid races needs to wiped out from the game as the gameplay systems don't support hybridization.
However, from a pure racial stats value standpoint, Dunmer get to be the #2 magicka and #2 stamina DPS and all they had to give up was 12 spell damage. That's the only advantage Altmer have over them. There should be more flavour there, even in the form of an actual utility passive (right now, the 200 stamina regen is cancelled out by the Dunmer's +1875 max stamina, although both passives are useless on a magicka DD).
So yes, Altmer is a better magicka DD than Dunmer by the thinnest of margins, but there should be more reason to pick an Altmer (doesn't need to be more damage).

He is considering fire resistanc and extra stamina for PVP

Dunmer are not better than altmer in magicka they are the same
Except they aren't. Bretons have sustain, versatility and toughness. Redguards have sustain, and are bound to WEP skills.

Imho, stam weapon skills >>>>>> stam class skills (with some exceptions like jabs or SA). Any skill that proc an enchantement/bleed/set is much better.
Redguard seems very niched into classes like stam dk and stam sorc. They make good spin to win builds also for their adrenaline rush passive and reduced cost.
They are inferior to orcs though, like most races are. If you think of any build in the game, bow and 2h, sword and board and 2h, sword and board and dw etc...and on any class...one of the top options(if not the top option) is always orc. you can't make the same statement for any other stam race.
Mag is a little tougher to flesh out, but there are fun things you can do from a pvp perspective with both dunmer and high elf. personally I prefer the regen over the max stat pool.
As far as the stam and mag damage goes, dark elf for pve seems like an easy way to complete all content on the same character. It doesn't really make it the best in either, but definitely good enough and that versatility by not having to level another character, or have all of the achievements on the same character has some value.

There is no scenario where stamina regen is useful in PvE. Mechanics that require dodging/blocking/breaking free are few and far between. The goal is to conserve your stamina between those mechanics. You still need to play that way since an extra 200 stamina regen isn't going to let you spam rolling/blocking, which means you won't actually feel the benefit of the regen. You're still going to be conserving stamina between mechanics and you will still have enough stamina for each mechanic, no more, no less.

You mean aside from sustain a DPS rotation? But you’re right, what scenario is DPS even useful in? Btw did you see someone posted a Stam sorc parse? Bosmer actually beats Orc.

He means stamina on a magic build. It's only used for mechanics there.

Yeah or for MagDKs sustaining their rotation... there are several ways how this is useful. Just because it isn't useful for the generic Magicka player in this forum it mustn't be useless for the rest.
