Racial balance for Stamina classes could use some improving. Do you plan on addressing this?
Yes, this is planned for a future update.

Don't get too comfortable with your Orc(or for that matter other races). 3rd racial passive change coming soon.

    I'm looking for your alleged confirmation that Orc will be nerfed.

    Or did you employ a sensationalist title solely to troll?

    Probably, the devs do love to nerf Bosmers for no reason.

    is there any better way for zos to confirm that they have no clue what they are doing when they have to make balance changes for the balance changes for the balance changes and that within months?

    I start to really having a hard time understanding how a game dev can be that *** at their job after 5 years...and its just less and less fun

    Buff Imperial! Raise the floor, not lower the ceiling! :)

    Looking at posted stamina class build guides, Imperial do not look like best in anything, for either PVE or PVP.

    Which somehow contains more lorebreaking.

    I'm perfectly comfortable with my orc and will continue to be, along with my other characters of various races. Because I will play them no matter if they are buffed or nerfed, and theyhave all been both at some point.
    [Lie] Of course! I don't even worship Daedra!

    LOL and :(

    There is a misalignment in the statement quoted the conclusion of the topic's headline but even so, I take my time as I consider race changes and I am just getting around to thinking about changing one of my characters to an Orc. Was excited about it too as I haven't had cause to try one before.

    The constant stream of balance changes is becoming a little exhausting to keep up with. The idea of more racial changes right now does make me tired; I haven't even really mentally adjusted from the last one.
    My #1 wish for ESO Today: Decouple achievements from character progress and tracking.

    I am pretty sure what this will boil down to is nerfing Orcs and surprise surprise nerfing Bosmer too, because their sustain too potent somehow. I'm sure after the update Redguard will be BiS again, Bosmer will still have no resemblence to their racial identity and Orcs will get nerfed way too hard. But at least Nord will be better stam dps than before for some reason!
    This Bosmer was tortured to death. There is nothing left to be done.

    @jim_1 They are tied for best tank with Nord, but have better damage than them. They aren't bad stam dps thanks to their great sustain, but Redguards and Bosmer completely overshadow them in that department, which is why they aren't recommended. What's the point in picking good sustain if you could go for amazing sustain instead? PvP is probably where they can shine the most outside of the tank role.

    Overall they are in a good spot though with clear and defined advantages over other races in certain situations and bring something interesting to the table that no other races has.

    I’m playing Nords, if they nerf them... well I will be disappointed given how long we waited for the race not to be bottom of the barrel. But ultimately I will stick with them.

    They are the only race whose female player characters a) actually look big enough to do something with that sword other than drag it around and b) they remind me of my wife, although Lyris with chestnut hair and brown eyes would be closer, I couldn’t believe it, even the voice is similar lol (basically I used up all my luck in one go when I met her and now the in game player characters have to match up) 😎

    Altmer? That race needs to fixed, Dumner needs changing. And no race should have damage bonuses.

    Breton already got nerfed when Seducer and others got buffed, but Breton cost reduction stayed the same.

    Breton should be BUFFED by 2%!!!

    All bonuses are damage bonuses, if you can give up damage on your build to acquire them.

    Watch orcs not get nerfed and people lose their minds :D

    Also, a future update does not mean soon lol. This could be a year from now. Besides only the meta chasers will care. Been playing Orc since I started PvP and won’t stop now:

    Deal! Didn't Argonians used to have higher a healing bonus anyway?

    How does what Gina actually said equal "Orc nerf incoming!"

    It doesn't. She didn't specify what "improvement" means.

    Typical ridiculous assumption-making trolling from this gallery of clowns.

    It was 5% received, 5% done. Then ZOS nerfed Lizzie to just 6% healing done and just after nerf buffed healing done on item sets to 4% from 2%. Thus, argonians have 3 set pieces of healing, and it should be 12% imo. Breton? Oh ok, why not, though 1% seems more logical. Seducer was looking bleak in comparison to false god, so they buffed it by 2%. Breton doesn't look bleak in any way, so 1% seems like fair compensation.
