I recently switched one of my nightblades to khajit because I wanted to make a cheesy crit damage stacking ganker with as much crit damage as I could get. I had a build planned for 160% using a battle axe.

I'm kind of pissed they are adding a crit cap but from what I have read, players crit resistance effectively raises the cap. So if I have 150% crit damage, but my target has 25% crit resist, I will still hit for 125 which is the cap. Hopefully that's the case anyway.

For pve, this totally sucks for khajit. You can choose to switch around your cp, sets, and not use minor force.. but none of those things would be optimal if it weren't for this artificial cap so it feels bad. Hopefully khajit is still performing okay when the dust settles.

It's the case, because you don't have an hard cap (like speed) but a soft cap (like armor, you can go beyond 33k because player can reduce armor, or in this case crit dmg)

No, do not ask for Khajiit nerfs. The race has literally been garbage as dps for many years. Asking for nerfs because people are willing to pay money to race change because they're min-maxers doesn't mean the race needs nerfing.

I don’t want to say anything other than khajiit racial passives need reworked if the current crit damage cap remains in place. Past changes caused them to be top dps for a a few patches. One could argue that people shouldn’t have payed for a race change for 1% more dps, but endgamers that care about there performance in the game a lot will do these kind of things. Zos either needs to rework the khajiit racial passives to not include crit damage as it’s worth much less now with the new cap, or provide some free race change tokens as they have in the past. I’m sure it wasn’t based off this but it does look somewhat of a means for Zos to sell more crowns.

Another possibility is that it puts them at a better position because they can run one fewer crit damage CP, ability or gear set and use something else instead.

Not a Nerf for Khajiit. Is a nerf for all. Khajiit are actually in a better place than most with more choices of CP, skills (Don't have to slot trap or Channeled) and even some armor choices. Anyone who race changes because Khajiit have built in Crit Damage is being silly and not looking at the big picture. As I said it is a high end damage nerf for all but Khajiit are less impacted than most because they will have more choices of how to deal with the changes.

That's one way of looking at it.

Another way to look at it is that before the nerf, a Khajiit NB was capable of achieving among the best burst in the game because Khajiits and the Nightblade toolkit were both designed around doing higher crit damage & lower sustained damage, while other class/race combos were designed around doing better sustained damage, healing, and/or sustain, but lower crit damage. Now, literally every class/race combo in the game will be able to match Khajiit NBs crit damage, on top of whatever other benefits their spec came with.

I certainly consider this to be a nerf to my PVP Khajiit magblade, considering my Breton can easily be right next to the Khajiit at the crit cap, but with much better sustain.

Of course, we wouldn't even be having this conversation in the first place if ZOS didn't decide to go on an "everything adds crit damage" rampage, but that's what they do — they create unnecessary problems and then "fix" them, when they should have just left well enough alone.

Another way to alleviate concerns regarding the Critical damage ceiling: Use the Malacath’s Band of Brutality since it reduces Critical Damage by 50%

I’m very unhappy with this change. I was enjoying my PVE Khajiit mag nightblade with daggers.

Why ZOS kill build variety? 😞 Caps and standardization, etc. are no fun.

I didn’t race change to Khajiit nor will I race change to anything else now, but it was nice to have a different build and playstyle that I enjoyed with that character.

I've been a Khajiit fan and have mained Khajiit in every single Elder Scrolls game for over 10 years now. A race change token is worthless to me because I don't want to be a different race. I want ZOS to stop changing everything every single patch.

That said, ZOS will still change things regardless, so Khajiit definitely deserve reworked racial passives. I like the crit chance suggestion. A lot. Current meta is 1pc slimecraw and 1pc Zaan/Gruundwulf/Iceheart/etc to maximize crit chance after the crit chance nerf and that would free up a monster set to compensate for Khajiit not having very good passives. I would also like to see the other Khajiit passives buffed as well, since compared to Dunmer, which gets 1.9k mag and stam, plus 258 weapon and spell damage, they suck. Khajiit only gets a 915 bonus to resources and the bonus crit damage is now irrelevant. So if Khajiit passives aren't changed, we're going to go from being SS-tier DPS to C-tier DPS in one patch.

And on the topic of crit, now that crit damage has a hard cap, the crit chance nerf from last year should be reverted. Sets should go back to giving 833 as it was before, and the CP passive star should be adjusted as well. If they want us to use monster sets in PvE, then give us a reason to not slot 1pc Slimecraw and 1pc Zaan by buffing crit chance bonuses back to where they were before.

Same. Only race ive played for years. An update for their passives would be nice, but not required. Just no nerfs.
Min-maxers gonna drop the race anyway.
