In The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO), the "best" race depends on your playstyle, role (DPS, Tank, Healer), and whether you prioritize min-maxing (optimizing for endgame performance) or roleplaying/aesthetics. However, here are the meta recommendations for each role based on racial passives: Best Races for Each Role (Meta Picks) DPS (Damage Dealers) Magicka DPS (Sorc, NB, DK, Templar, Arcanist): - High Elf (Altmer) Best for pure magicka builds (+max magicka, spell damage, recovery). - Dark Elf (Dunmer) Great hybrid choice (magicka + stamina flexibility, fire resistance). - Khajiit Strong crit bonus (works for both mag and stam). Stamina DPS (Nightblade, DK, Sorc, Warden, Necro): - Orc Best raw damage (+stamina, weapon damage, sprint speed). - Wood Elf (Bosmer) Great for sustain (stamina recovery, stealth bonuses). - Redguard Excellent stamina sustain (good for beginners). Healer Breton Best overall (magicka cost reduction, max magicka). High Elf (Altmer) Strong alternative (magicka recovery, spell damage). Argonian Great for survivability (healing done bonus, potion passive). Tank Nord Best defensive choice (health, resistances, ultimate generation). Imperial Strong sustain (health + stamina, cost reduction). Argonian Great for potion efficiency and healing received. Honorable Mentions Khajiit Works well in any role due to crit bonus. Dark Elf (Dunmer) Versatile for magicka or stamina builds. Redguard Best stamina sustain for beginners. Does Race Matter That Much? For casual play? Nopick what you like! Racial passives only make a 5-10% difference in performance. For veteran trials/hardcore min-maxing? Yes, optimizing race can help. Best "All-Rounder" Races: Khajiit (Crit builds) Dark Elf (Hybrid flexibility) Breton (Magicka sustain) If you're unsure, Breton (magicka), Orc (stamina), or Nord (tank) are safe picks. Would you like recommendations for a specific class?

The War Within brings so much fresh content to WoW. The new zones are absolutely stunning and the storyline is engaging. Been playing for 15 years and this expansion reignited my passion for the game.
The new raid content is fantastic with challenging mechanics. However, there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out. Overall a solid expansion that keeps me coming back for more.
