At any rate, I've played everything extensively except the Dragon Knight. I plan on giving that an in depth look as time permits.
Definitely give the Destruction staff + Burning damage passive style a try with this, I hear it's pretty bonkers, even in heavy armor.

This is my issue with his posts. It seems odd to me that someone would join an old community just to champion a single thread/game. It screams shill. Like he typed TESO in google, saw rerolled and registered here just to champion the game. Not that I really care if someone does that, but when it comes to listening to someone with a very suspicious posting history, or a long time member who is active all over they place... the new guy loses.
It's not odd. A lot of long time community members have come to this forum because of a single thread/post and ended up staying. The person isn't a shill, just an uber fanboy. Which is fine, but you need to tone that shit down.

Any suggestion for Sorc DPS build? I am kinda new to this game...
People have been suggesting Dual wield or Bow sorcs, as your magicka is mostly spent on sorc class specific skills, so having a weapon utilizing stamina seems to be the general concensus as the better way to go.

Yea I've had that's pointed out to me several times. Too bad the old FOH forums aren't around anymore so someone could confirm how long I've been lurking. Like I said a long time ago in this thread, I applied for posting rights but was never granted them. When I joined the FOH board guild in Tera, I had to send Oloh a PM to get an invite.

If a discussion thread ever pops up here to discuss Ngruk, I could relate some personal conversations we had back when we playing WoW together.
That's cool, and I'm happy that you aren't lurking anymore. You should participate more often because beyond all the fanboying, any level headed discussion about a game is welcome. You seem to have some measure of ability to discuss things in an interesting fashion. But we're all big boys here, we don't need people white knighting a game. We've all been to the rodeo before. I say the same thing to Ut when he goes on his tirade and ubershits on a thread. We don't need that much protecting or convincing.

PTS NDA has been lifted. We can now discuss everything minus adventure zones, of which we were only given very basic details anyway.

So how big of an advantage is the imperial racial bonus bullshit that you have to pay extra for?

I won't have enough time, but I want to test out a CC based Templar with sword and board and maybe dual wield. Templar have a lot of cool AOE stuns/attacks/buffs that might be really cool for a front line bruiser. But it will be impossible to test a lot based on level restrictions.

I also would love to test out a medium or heavy armored dual wield sorc with a bit of Dark Magic. Prison/Cage/Tomb where you also heal off of Dark Magic spells. You also have some lightning abilities with a charge (Surge?). There are also some interesting defensive abilities in the summoning tree.

From what I've been gathering from the various sources, the %MaxStat values are almost nearly worthless, as they mostly just act to increase the speed at which you reach the stat value soft cap.

the Khajit Crit Passive and Orc Movement speed passive as well as the Altmer elemental damage passive are widely considered some of the top tier racials currently.

There's talk of the Imperial life gain passive being a bit overtuned on the top-end scale.

Unsure if this answers your question.

Ya. They are % based and fucking big, with better bonuses to HP than any other race iirc.

Blatant p2w situation going on there.

Imperial - Races - Esohead - Elder Scrolls Online Database
We're talking like 200-400 health difference at end game (AFAIK) that's one attack, or two ticks of one of 5 of my siphonblade's DoT's

Not as big as being the fastest moving character in the game - (Orc Passive)

Not as big as reaching 100% crit (Khajit)

So basically If I want to tank I have to pay extra to play this fucking race. That is some weak ass shit. Guess I'll have to try caster then because I'm not going to support that kind of bullshit if I decide to play.
It's extremely easy to softcap all three stats with the proper gear enchantments. This percent value saves you from at most 2 hits.

The Redguard in combat stamina regen is a much more valuable tank stat IMO (Due to SnB aggro generation being used by stamina)

'Just one attack' is a fucking ENORMOUS difference in HP from a racial bonus, and extremely relevant in PVP.

Not to mention, afaik the Orc run speed racial only affects sprinting speed.

But ya, khajit are probably preferable for DPSers and Orc for homos.

OK, all I need to know is at max level will I be on equal footing with an imperial or will there always be a gap.

None. You can also earn them in game as well. Imperial edition just fast tracks it. Each race has something to counter anyway.

Red Diamon (Imp Passive) just gives a 10% chance to restore 6 health with every melee attack. That seems shitty. The Khajit passive that increase Crit Damage and Chance seems a bit OP.
