Bosmer (Wood Elf) Racial Skills in Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) are gained as the player increases his or her Character Level. Players will continue to gain Racial Passives until they reach level 50, which where they will cap out the Skill Line. Each Race has their own set of Skills that make them unique and better suited for certain roles and Builds. Be sure to study these when planning your character, as they can make the difference between a good player and a great player.
Wood Elf Racial Passives
Looking over the Passives you can see that Wood Elves are more inclined to be Stamina-based characters, and ones that incorporate some amount of Stealth into their gameplay. This means they will use some combination of martial weapons like Bows, Swords and Daggers.
Stealth is not particularly useful for PvE content outside of questing, but is useful in PvP. And though Max Stamina is good for Tanking, Stamina Recovery is not because Stamina Recovery ceases while Blocking, which Tanks do constantly. These bonuses place Wood Elves squarely into the Stamina DPS category, without much flexibility, if you’re looking to optimize.

So, first time poster, and probably last time, as my main Wood Elf is now a fashion model, and nothing else. For 3 years, I've only PVE. I WAS damn good at it, because my WE is constructed entirely around her stealth and stealth damage. She is now useless. I've been testing out this stupidity, once again, from ZOS. I was "detected", even by pleb NPC's, that I used to be able to damn near stand on. I've already posted on ESO's forums, as have so many. My post besides my descriptions, was a stern request, on how I go about getting my money back from my pre-purchase of Elsweyr. An expansion I shall no longer need, nor desire, since they've decided my main character isn't allowed to play the game anymore. THEIR decision, NOT mine, should be enough, to allow myself, and all effected, to DEMAND refunds for all Pre-purchases, and maybe even more. I will try and get everything I can, before dropping this garbage, like a bad habit.

Why do you keep destroying every tool that night blades have? Now your deleting woodelfs and khajits 10% bonus damage from stealth. Here's an idea, just fkn delete the night blade class all together and get it over with.
