Edit 23rd Jan - Video renamed - previously "ESO - Magicka Khajiit Master Race? - Wrathstone PTS 4.3.0"

Edit 22nd Jan - Added Dunmer Parse + estimates

The PTS came up today, and like others, I wanted to check out the changes.

Race changes will be one of the stronger features of Wrathstone regarding game balance. I also wanted to check out the change to Solar Barrage, so this is why you see me on a Magicka Templar here.

On Magicka Templar, I found Khajiit to be slightly ahead of Breton, Dunmer and High Elf who were relatively similar. (It will be interesting to see how this will pan out with full raid buffs later on). All gear and CPs were kept the same (with the exception of a berserker glyph for the Breton instead of an Absorb Magicka). I'm hearing similar results for other classes too, but I will test myself later on.

This is just my brief introduction to the Wrathstone PTS. I know I didn't go into much depth here. I just find the prospect of playing a Magicka Khajiit quite hilarious still. So if you have any thoughts/questions, do leave something in the comments.

Let me know what you've found too - I will be doing more testing over the coming weeks.
