In The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO), the Orcs (also called Orsimer, or "Pariah Folk" in Elvish) are a playable race known for their strength, resilience, and tribal warrior culture. Heres a breakdown of Orcs in ESO: Orc Racial Traits (Passives) Orcs excel as stamina-based melee fighters (Stamina DPS or Tanks) but can adapt to other roles. Their racial passives include: Brawny Increases Max Stamina and Health. Unflinching Rage Reduces the cost of Sprint and increases Sprint speed. Swift Warrior Increases Weapon and Spell Damage. Robust Increases Healing Received. These traits make Orcs ideal for Stamina Dragonknights, Nightblades, and Wardens, though they can also work as magicka-based characters with some adjustments. Orc Culture & Lore Tribal Society: Orcs are organized into strongholds and clans, valuing honor, strength, and loyalty. Malacath Worship: They revere Malacath, the Daedric Prince of the spurned and outcasts. Craftsmen & Warriors: Orcs are master blacksmiths (especially with Orichalcum) and fierce warriors. Best Classes for Orcs Stamina Dragonknight Strong melee DPS/Tank with high survivability. Stamina Nightblade Great for burst damage and mobility. Stamina Warden Good for solo play and group utility. Templar (Stamina or Tank) Solid for self-healing and durability. Appearance & Customization Orcs have tusks, green/gray skin, and muscular builds. They can be male or female, with females being just as fierce as males. Unique armor styles like Orcish Heavy Armor fit their aesthetic. Faction & Starting Location Orcs belong to the Daggerfall Covenant (with Bretons and Redguards). Their homeland is Wrothgar, a mountainous region featured in the Orsinium DLC. Why Play an Orc? Best for Stamina builds (DPS/Tank). Strong in PvP due to sprint bonuses. Great for solo play with extra survivability. Unique lore and roleplay opportunities. Would you like advice on a specific Orc build? Or are you curious about their lore in ESO?

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.
