Suggestion For Change to Altmer’s very situational passive.

Gain a 5000 damage shield when you use a class ability. 10-15 second cooldown. 2500 in pvp obviously. Like psjic. Useable by tanks, stam, benefitited more through cp typically allocated by LA users. Lore friendly (reflects magical prowess or something). Not too overpowered and doesn’t directly impact parses and provides a valuable asset for pve where survivability is a key function necessary to do dps in actual scenarios (think shield sets)

    The only use for the current passive is to give a little bit of stam for blocking and breaking free.

    A small shield or a resistances buff basically achieves the same thing defensive buff without the feel bad of the current passive that is basically giving you what you don't want.

    "Not too overpowered"

    Getting a damage shield for ~ 30% of your live every 10-15 seconds would be overpowered. Even when it's halved in PvP it still would be a very strong talent. I like the idea though and it would somehow fit Altmer "narratives".

    A shield for 2000 HP every 10 seconds after activating a class skill is way more reasonable and still very strong in comparison to other race's defensive racials.

    By the way, how is this less situational than Stamina return?

    Would unfortunately be overpowered. Also how does this make sense on atlmer lore wise?

    For it to not be OP they would have to make it small and if it’s small I would rather have the Stam Regen.
