    • @gamingoverlord8854

      Hijacking to point out that race does matter if you ever get into buildcrafting. To the same extent as picking out armor sets
      It's a little less important than a full 5 piece set of armor
      Khajiit for example gives 90 recovery to all stats, which is worth ~1.5 non-5th piece set bonus; then adds 900 to all attributes, which is worth 2 non-5th piece set bonuses; finally it adds 12% crit dmg/healing which is a little bit better than equivalent 5 piece set bonuses

    I made an orc character once that I only ever got to level like 13 but somehow the way I built him, he was unkillable. With abilities and what not I was getting him to regen instantly and I would just sit in town dueling people all day. Mind you I did little to no damage to the way higher levels but they couldn’t kill me either. Always wondered if it was the class and gear or maybe that he was orc

      @@ForkZandKniveZ7 low level characters have a power boost up until like level 10, after then u start to get very weak, especially if u dont keep ur gear upto date at levels 10, 30, 50+, also orc alone would not help you much since the heal for damage only happens like once per 4 seconds and is only 1k health
      if you are playing nightblade/necro/warden/sorc etc at below 50 then dueling is still pretty survivable even against higher levels, my bashblade with 40k+ health and over 32k resist can literally stand still casting only dark cloak once every 4 seconds and im pretty much unkillable in duels, with a shield bash that can crit 20k damage sometimes
      chances are you duel'd some pve players, and your class skills are what make you survivable, considering most people depending on build are running similar health pools anyway- and it can very much depend on resistance, casual pve players usually dont care much on resistance or survivability

  • @zenwilds2911
    @zenwilds2911 Před rokem +3

    I feel the difference in magicka sustain when I play Breton instead of Khajiit.
    But I can only tell when I'm healing hard vet dungeons or in an intense battleground.
    I'd say 99% of players don't go that hard.
    This is endgame content with maxed out gear and legendary item, etc.
    Thing is about ESO... all gear is shared account wide. So I actually go do vet dungeons and BGs on all my characters daily. I can win matches and complete hard vet dungeons just fine on both races.
    Only difference is that I don't worry about magicka regen on my Breton.
    On the other hand... SOMETIMES my Khajiit will take down enemy players SLIGHTLY faster.
    Would I play the hardcore endgame content on a race not meant for magicka builds? Tbh no.
    But could it be done? Yes.

    • @gamingoverlord8854
      @gamingoverlord8854 Před 4 měsíci

      You say 99% of players don't do that stuff, but it's more like at least 30% of players do play that stuff. ESO is a long running MMO, most of the people who still play are the more serious players.
      It's more like race doesn't matter if you're just now starting to play the game and have some of the race change tokens to spare when you get to that point

    It would be great if we could choose any race and then choose from a list of benefits we get, but of course that would kill off one of the ways zenimax is making money. Race matters if you truly value pve and pvp output. Some people say it is about 5% of your output, but i think it can be more. Every race is a best race depending on your builds and playstyle. Zenimax made sure of that so they will get money from people buing crowns to switch their race.

    Ran into this one dude who was being pushed to magplar by a guildie of his . Went to the very basics of his toon and asked ok whats your race he said redguard . As soon as i got him setup as stam it totally fixed his issues . Now that he has 1,000 hours in im sure he could switch to more of a mag build on that same toon and be fine but early on it totally crippled him .

    • @The_Titan_Tim
      @The_Titan_Tim Před rokem +2

      No. A good build should have around 4,000 weapon and spell damage and 30,000+ magicka or stamina, your race only gives you up to 258 weapon or spell damage and 2,000 of your primary resource.
      258 out of 4,000 = 1/15th
      2,000 out of 30,000+ = 1/15th or less
      In other words, if you hit an unbelievable 150,000 dps, your race would only account for 10,000 damage, it’s negligible.

    I can distinguish 4 groups:
    1- elves (all look the same and super ugly)
    2- human (all look the same and ugly)
    3- orc... If customized might be best lookinhg out of all those. Since he is supposed to be ugly by default, it adds to imersion.
    4- khajit and argonian (khajit is fine, I would say #1 or #2. Its just that tail being a liitle annoying. Argonian is a$$)
    I will probably pick orc but still trying to make up my mind

    For questing and pveing race doesn't matter as long as you're having fun. But trial core team, vet, vet hard mode dungeon runs, the race DOES matter to where you need proper gear for said class playstyle. Which is very mentally taxing as for anyone collecting items for Stickerbook, there are over 8k items. With more being added with necrom.

      Which sucks ass. FAR better executed in FFXI. FFXIV has zero replay value at all and they removed the subclasses that FFXI had, which actually made characters unique. Nothing about FFXIV's class system works to anyone who actually cares about MMOs.

      Fun fact, MMOS don't have to follow the same exact shitty formula as WoW and everquest. ESO and WoW hardly have replay value either when you reach end game. Especially ESO where all of the classes feel like copies.@@sarkaztik3228
