Stamcro on an Altmer
How badly would you be handicapping yourself by doing this? Is the lack of racial synergy still a very big deal like it was a year ago?

✭✭I'm staring down the exact same dilemma right now. I want to make a necro Altmer to be my main's evil twin sister but I heard magicka necro sucks. lol2 -

✭I have an altmer stamblade, and he's perfectly useable in all content I've done. Can't really speak for stuff like trials though. You'll just have some extra magicka that can go towards self heals, buffs, and whatnot.Edited by ApostateHobo on June 5, 2019 1:44AM0 -

✭✭✭If you’re looking to pve dps or pvp I think that would be a difficult class choice... if you want to min-max. As a stamnecro I find I have a ton of magicka already because of passives.
If you don’t care about min-maxing go for it. The same toon in two separate players hands can mean 5x more dps. The player’s more important then something small like what race you choose.Looking for any guildies I used to play with:
Havoc Warhammer - Alair
LoC EQ2 - Mayi and Iskiab
PRX and Tabula Rasa - Rift - Iskiab
Or anyone else I used to play games with in guilds I’ve forgotten0 -

✭✭✭✭A general rule of thumb is that if you're not pulling 30k self buffed on a 6 mil dummy as a "meta" race, don't even worry about switching to off meta cause the difference will be negligible.
Short answer: it'll probably cost you 2-4k dps unless you're the top 5%.0 -

✭✭Stamcro is stamina hungry. you limit yourself to a really small stam pool with no sustain help at all by running an altmer. If you really desperatly want an elf, run dunmer. That one lets you swap between mag and stam no issues. Use a skin and nobody can even tell if you are alt or dunmer.
But at least you dont gimp yourself.
Altmer
- No stamina support at all
- Spell damage passive. doing nothing for a stam build
- stam return passive wont work since your stam pool is higher
Dunmer
- +1850 Stamina(and magicka)
- 256 weapon damage(and spell damage)
Thats a huge difference if you go stam build0 -

Rydik✭✭✭✭Well, there easy way to test what will happen, go pts, make stamina spec with best race, test it and then turn off racial passive and test again.0
