    Redguard is literally BIS or second BIS behind Imperial for tanking depending on the fight. The race is in a very good place.

    Imperial, Nord, Argonian and then there is everyone one else as far as tanking. "Best in slot" You are exaggerating for some reason.

    Get with the times. Imperial edges out Reguards in fights where you need mag sustain more like cloudrest or where you cannot hit something to proc Redguard's passive. Otherwise they're very close to each other. Nord is not that highly rated as it once was for the reasons I outlined above and agonians have fallen out of favour because the potion passive is too situational and ends up being easily wasted.

    Still having Redguards be good thanks doesn't mean they don't need help with being viable for other roles, especially in PVP. I rarely ever see a build where Redguard is a top three choice for a damage dealer or in a pvp build. I don't remember seeing one at all, really. Maybe you just don't want to see them be on par with other races but I do.

    Redguards are very strong but you are willfully ignoring the role that they are strongest in. Do you understand how silly you appear? It would be like if I did a whole buff Breton write-up because they're way down the pecking order for DPS and tanks.

    Redguards restore in excess of 12k stamina per minute in most PVE combat situations. That is disgusting. Just not for damage dealers in the current meta that revolves around having low stamina, or having your healers provide extra sources of sustain.

    Again, I said outside of target dummy [snip], in environments such as PVP, there is room for improvement. I gave my reasons. [snip] It must be that you don't want the status quo, or the meta, changed. I don't care about your meta. My point still stands, I want to enjoy my Redguard more but there are lacking areas that I believe need to adjusted. It can come in the way resources are restored or in other passives.

    I have a Nord Warden tank, and stamina sustain isn't an issue. Go figure.
    I had a Redguard nightblade when I first started playing 2 years ago before I knew how to make a build....Learned more about builds, got better more competent of a player, and now my Nightblade is a Dunmer(dark elf) and it's better than ever. I can't go wrong with Khajjit either. Orc or High elf even. But my old redguard unfortunately wasn't as effective (from a pvp perspective).

    Thing is.....I want to play my Redguard. That's just my perspective.

    Yeah just about any build that you make with a Redguard can be improved simply by switching to Orc, Khajit, Wood Elf, Dark Elf, Imperial, and even Nord.
