    I do just fine as an Orc Magplar. Just because it isn't meta/optimized doesn't mean it can't work. Do what you have fun with!

    I know it can, because I made it! I also checked topics about it to see beforehand, people always say things like "You are going to ruin yourself"
    And I proved them wrong :joy:
    Seriously my Nord Magdk is hella tanky of my all characters :joy:
    Never seen a mag char approaching enemy this close and getting out of there alive :o

    Argonian Sorcs are REALLY fun in PvP - between Dark Deal and the racial potion passive, resources will bounce back crazy fast. Especially as stamsorc with the sprint cost reduction

    Redguard - make it a stamina templar with curved swords and calling upon the favor of Tall'papa, Tu'whacca and the like at times. But mostly swords! And they need to be curved! :grin:

    Orc - make it a dragonknight "mace in your face" tank/DPS hybrid, heavy armor and stamina setup, big brutal weapons, possibly drunk personality (it makes the DK poison breath all the more ewwww!), and go with a crude, rude and direct approach to any issue...

    Argonian - go with warden and hist-power, milk the "swamp shaman" shtick for all its worth!

    But hey, that's my opinion. You... go with what seems most fun your YOU!

    Hahah I love the names but might change it to Tall'Mama :joy:
    And for Orc, something like Orc the Sorc :joy:

    As long as it's not Redguard Necromancer, pick any you fancy.

    That said, since you can change race but not class, if you're only creating one, make it not Necromancer at all. Then Redguard remains an option later.

    I came here to suggest Redguard Necromancer. ;) Makes for a good story.

    I actually started to like this idea but I could make her a stamina one:)

    Would indeed make a good story!

    So I do not have any Orc, Redguard or Argonian
    And I grew fond of these races recently
    I filled 9 characters so far, should I go for it and buy more character slots?
    Is it worth to buy more character slots?

    Okay, I will answer these questions in reverse order.

    1-For me (alt-o-holic and extensive writer of head-cannon and backstories) there are NEVER too many character slots.

    Good to know that I am not alone :joy:

    I just love leveling them, also I am into crafting... it is my favorite daily activit to craft with them all!

    Well, the more commonly used name in redguard lands is Ruptga I guess. The chied god of the yokudan pantheon? He -may- be a yokudan version of Akatosh/Auri-el/Alkosh, etc.
    And Tu'whacca is usually seen as yokudan version of Arkay...
    But hey, since the yokudan gods mostly follow the eight divines in style, templar makes a lot of sense for a good and proper redguard character.

    On that note, "Tall'mama" would be a good name for a redguard priestess of Ruptga... make her skinny and tall, and go for a "desert warrior priestess" setup and it could work our quie well!

    Redguard necromancers make for halfway decent "eeeevil redguard bastich exile" backstory, since necromancers are -the worst- in redguard lore. And the alik'r mainstory. Still, sometimes we want to make some bad boys and girls for our characters, don't we? ;)

    Totally not objective and logic answer right here !

    - Argonian : To me, warden is what fit argonian the most, I just can't imagine them at other class :x
    - Orc : I would said DK, for the forge's flames !
    - Redguard : No idea ! Stam dps with sword, but no idea for class :<

    Probably not gonna help you but that how it look in my one imagination :D

    Alt-o-holics unite!!

    And craft. On my Subbed account, everyone does wits (well, when I have time...etc etc) and on my none-subbed I make sure the bank has enough stuff for blacksmithing.
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    You could certainly make her stamina if you feel like branching out a little! But the Stam bonuses are also just nice to have in PVP, even on mag.
    I may be a bit partial because I have a Redguard StamNecro that I love to bits. :D
    And while it's true that the story sets you up for a great dramatic 'evil Redguard forsaking their roots' kind if vibe, it's also very possible to play it more subtly. There's a lot of interesting directions to go with a good-aligned Redguard necro dealing with the conflict of their fate/choices.

    That is exactly why the idea enticed me this much :D
    I mean everyone seem to hate necromancy but Redguard people have some more passionate thoughts so a rebel Redguard is a good idea

    For some reason Templar seems more fitting to Khajiit and Argonians to me, I dont know they have this templar-ish, priest/priestess type of talking and walking :joy:

    Tbh first thing attracted me is how Redguards look hahah
    Then the Redguard Female Voice A... that scream :joy:

    Joking aside, since I have made my mind about it, do you know any set up for this?
    I have a mag necro but my problem is I can not find some instant bursty damage in the class
    I know they are very tanky, even my magicka one, and heals are great but what about damage skills?
    Though Stamina Necro using weapon skills may fix that

    My PVP experience is very limited, so I won't be of any help there sorry. :# I'm sure there's lots of good burst combos for stamcro tho. BB will probably be in there. Weapon skills wise probably relying on the same moves as all Stam classes :D

    I always saw templar as mostly altmer-tastic with that "We are the high elves, the gods are our ancestors, look at our oh so holy magic..."

    Argonians seem -definitely- warden, with the hist-given nature magic!

    Still, there are a lot of possible combinations! And everyone should find the one that makes most sense for them!

    Ruptga has virtually nothing in common with akatosh aside from being the chief god, so probably not.

    Dragonknight
    I saw a REALLY cool build on here for an Argonian PvP Magicka Dragonknight that used Clever Alchemist, Jorvuld's, and Reduce Potion Time enchantments for just ridiculous buffs, burst, and sustain.

    I filed that one away for the next time I have an empty character slot, but in the meantime maybe that sounds appealing to you?

    Warden has access to even more named buffs than DKs so that setup might also work for them if you wanted basically every single buff in the game up at all times.
