I don;t feel the Nord's nerf is "over doing it" especially since champ penetration is much lower now. overall nords gain a positive return, thus reducing more damage in pvp, than before (except in non champ ;p but lets face it tanky in non champ was a wee bit of an issue). and for pve it didnt hurt it much, maybe balanced it out. nords could already get 14-15k resistance w/o any armor on using the champ system.

what makes the other races outshine nord atm is simply their passives. i feel orcs especially are too fine tuned atm. damage+healing when you damage, yeah, that beats 2600 resistance i'd say.

how to fix this? get rid of nords "resist frost" or nerf that. it's useles lets face it. it's hardly useful in pvp and basicly non existent in pve. It's lore friendly but not game friendly. revamp that give nords another decent tiny buff. even if its like "900 frost resistance and 100 stam recovery".

    Comparing Nord resistance passive to a standard one line item bonus is laughable:

    2600/1487~1.75 one line set bonuses

    Now looking at Orc:

    258/129~2 one line set bonuses (both wep and spell, plus sprint buffs)

    Honestly, I don't see this as genuine balancing, I see it as ZOS having data showing that Nords were overrepresented, and adjusting them in the hopes of spreading out race distribution a bit.

    Every single other race got compensation buffs in exchange for their racial passives being changed; Argonians got 1000 max Stamina for their Resourceful passive going from 4k to 3125, Orcs got their heal buffed from 500 to 2125 when they lost 1k Stamina, Imperials lost their 300 HP/Stam/Magicka every 5 seconds but gained 3% additional skill cost reduction, Dunmer lost Burning Immunity but gained 2310 Flame resistance (somewhat useful) and some Stamina/Magicka; what did Nords get? Some Frost resistance? That's not comparable in rarity to Flame or Poison resists when they lost 1360 resistances and their immunity to Chilled. Nord now likely has the least valuable racial passives; they aren't even the best tanks anymore, despite all their passives being devoted to tanking, make terrible healers, and are tied with Argonians for lowest damage.

    Whatever those pointy eared zos staff do, i will not stop playing nords. This is elven agenda pushing nords to change race to filthy orcs I know it!
    Also; making the light armored berserker type of race a tank, and making heavy infantry famed race a weapon-spell damage based sprinters?
