New racials and werewolf...

[PJ]

So I'm fairly new to the game and I want to make a new character that will mostly focus on the werewolf, but I'm not sure what race/class I should go with, especially in light of the upcoming racial changes (I am completely disregarding current racials). I'm planning to use this character for both pvp and casual / intermediate pve.

So far I'm hesitating between Bosmer and Nord.

Bosmer is obviously very good due to the stamina, but also the movement speed after rolling thing seems to synergize very well with WW. I've also heard that poison is a big weakness for WW, so having poison immunity also seems great.

Nord looks good because it has decent stamina, on top of having very good defenses. They have almost 4k resist in both phys and magic, as well as health bonuses, so I'm guessing this must help a lot in pvp, given that WW have almost no defensive options. Plus Nords generate ultimate on getting hit, which helps with WW transformation.

For class, I'm pretty sure I want to go with a Sorcerer. They seem to have the most useful "free" passives that will work when transformed. But I'd still like to know what you guys think would be the best choice.

Races that have +max stam is good.

For classes templar and Dk outshine the others but all of them work

For races, try Wood Elf or Argonian. Wood Elf has a Poison Resistance racial passive while Argonian has a Desease Resistance one (not to mention that each will have immunity to the respective status on the coming patch), this is somewhat a must to choose between these two because Werewolves are weak to Poison and Desease, so a race that resists those will mitigate this issue. If you want to pull something tricky, you can try Orc due to it's racial passive that boosts sprinting speed, which is pretty great for burst chasing opponents.

Pretty weird, for a moment I thought it was Warden, unless you're basing on the fact that Templar and DragonKnight (and stam Sorcerer to a lesser extent) are very broken in general at the moment.

Anyway, since you want to make a Stamina Sorcerer, this build might interest you, if you want.
