» Thu Mar 06, 2014 5:13 pm Because Max Health/Magicka/Stamina, Armour (700) and Spell Resistance (950) are set to static values for balance reasons, there's a lot of skills that either work partially or don't work at all in Cyrodiil. It's frustrating that a bunch of one hand and shield skills feel gimped because of this, but investments in a skill line are something that can be reversed. You can't simply go and change your race because it turns out it's doing worse in PvP than you'd hoped.
Here's a list of all racial skills. The ones that seem to be affected are marked in red.

- +15% experience from Bow skill line.

Ebonheart Pact:
Argonian

- +50% swim speed.
- +5/10/15% potion effectiveness.
- +1/2/3% maximum health.
- +7/14/21 poison and disease resistance.
- +2/4/6% healing received.
Dunmer
- +15% experience from Dual-Wielding skill line.
- +2/4/6% maximum magicka and stamina.
- +10/20/30 fire resistance.
- +1/2/3% maximum magicka.
- +1/2/3 spell power with fire effects.
Nord

Dunmer and Bretons seem the most affected by this. Khajit is the only race that gets away unscathed.
So my question for those who have been messing around on the permanent test server... Does this cause a noticeable imbalance? Do people avoid using certain races in PvP for min-maxing reasons? Or is this only related to Battle Spirit and do these static values no longer apply at level 50?
