    Erm... I'm a bosmer warden and a magicka build.

    No one, and I repeat NO ONE is forcing you to play a specific build with a specific race.

    I have two Nords. Neither are tanks.

    My bosmer is a magicka warden.

    My nightblade healer is khajiit and my necromancer dps is argonian.

    You don't *need* meta racials.

    You do if you play in a trial team.

    No, I just want my Bosmer to have the same lore correct stealth they've had since Daggerfall in 1996.

    Removing their stealth and giving them some PvP only stealth detection bonus that is buggy and doesn't even work correctly most of the time (verified through testing) is the greatest racial disservice in the history of the TES franchise. It's also like having a null passive in PvE, as NPCs do not use stealth.

    ^^

    I'm not on a trial team, and I'm not much of a min-maxxer anymore... but I still try to squeeze whatever juice I can out of my avatars.

    2000 magicka bonus is effectively a 190 spell damage boost, and I'm not even taking into account magicka % buffs from inner light or the undaunted passive. That's a lot to pass up, not to mention the 258 weapon and spell damage that altmer & dunmer get. Hard to justify the loss, especially when it'll make a palpable impact on my performance in every combat scenario of the game.

    Oh, I could still survive without it. That's true. I could roll in a whole suit of mismatched green-quality armor with no set-piece bonuses and still beat most of the game. But I'm not so inclined.

    It's why I have 3 dunmer, one altmer, and one breton bloke (who balances out with the others, mostly. Since he has bonus magicka regen and 10% spell cost reduction, I was able to slot more spell damage on jewelry to make up the 258 spell damage difference. He actually comes up relatively even in the end).

    Dungeons and Dragons recently did this. Before, races typically had a +2 to one stat, then a +1 to another. Now, they let builds decide where to put the +2 and the +1. The idea behind it is "nature vs nurture"

    For examble, a breton went and became a soldier. He trained hard to be one. So he nurtured his stamina skills, and now his passives reduce the cost of stamina skills, and he gains a bonus to max stamina instead.

    Something to that effect. I'm a fan of it and would like to see it implemented.

    previously @HaruKamui but I outgrew my weeb phase (probably)

    I play a Dunmer... but I'm unsure as how "Sexy" could be used in-game as a racial passive.
    Want to enjoy the game more? Try both PvP (crybabies) and PvE (carebears). You'll get a better perspective on everyone's opinion.

    I’m not quite sure what you mean so I am unsure how to respond.

    In trials everyone has to optimize their build so you have to choose the best in all categories - racial, skills, gear, food, potions, and whatever else I have not thought of at the moment. If you don’t then you are unfairly burdening the rest of the group.

    There are trials groups that don’t have stringent requirements but they just go for the clear and not all associated achievments.

    Sure in solo play you can choose what you want and do fine.
