In The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO), the "best" race depends on your playstyle, role (DPS, Tank, Healer), and whether you prioritize min-maxing or aesthetics. Heres a breakdown of the top choices for different roles: Best Races for DPS (Damage Dealers) High Elf (Altmer) Best for Magicka DPS (Sorcerer, Nightblade, Templar, Necromancer) due to bonuses to spell damage and max magicka. Dark Elf (Dunmer) Great for both Magicka and Stamina DPS, especially strong with fire-based builds (Dragonknight). Khajiit Strong for both Stamina and Magicka DPS due to critical damage bonus (great for Nightblades). Orc (Orsimer) Best for Stamina DPS (especially melee builds) due to weapon damage and sprint speed. Best Races for Tanks Nord Best overall tank race due to damage mitigation and ultimate generation. Imperial Strong for sustain (health and stamina bonuses). Argonian Great for potion efficiency and healing received (good for beginner tanks). Best Races for Healers Breton Best magicka sustain and cost reduction (ideal for Templar/Warden healers). High Elf (Altmer) Strong for raw healing output (spell damage bonus). Argonian Good for potion synergy and healing received. Best All-Around Race Dark Elf (Dunmer) Works well for both Magicka and Stamina builds, making it flexible for hybrid or respec scenarios. Best for PvP Nord (Tanky Builds) Extra resistances. Orc (Stamina Brawlers) Speed and damage. High Elf (Magicka Burst) Strong spell damage. Best for Beginners Breton (Magicka) Easy sustain. Orc (Stamina) Good damage and survivability. Final Verdict Magicka DPS: High Elf Stamina DPS: Orc or Dark Elf Tank: Nord Healer: Breton If you dont care about min-maxing, pick whichever race you like aestheticallyESO is flexible enough that any race can perform well in any role!

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.
