How fare the Orcs?

Tycleton · February 2019

With today's racial changes, where do the Orcs now stand in the hierarchy of races? Any particular class they should favor? I'm guessing Stamina based is still preferred?

I have a Redguard Stamplar I might consider changing.

Thanks!

Summary of that testing comparison for Orcs:

Orc
Excellent - Stamina Sorcerer, Stamina Dragonknight
Great - Stamina Nightblade, Stamina Templar, Stamina Warden
Unoptimized - All Magicka Roles
Notes - They are the perfect balance of raw damage and sustain for a stamina class. They perform exceeding well on classes with low sustain and no class spammable skills. Their consistence is between that of Dunmer and Redguard.

Thank you so much for the response, Tiny... especially the link to the comparison! Great to actually see some numbers.
