Dark Elves or Dunmer are a Race in the Elder Scrolls Online. The Dark Elves are native to Morrowind in ESO, and have a distinct society structured in Clans and Familial power. Players can select a race during character creation, and different races have different bonuses and associations. Players can change their race by purchasing a Crown Store item.
"The Dark Elf homeland of Morrowind has been invaded many times by the Akaviri and the Nords. This history of conflict has transformed the Dunmer into hardened warriors. They also have a natural affinity for magic and great intellect, making them skillful sorcerers. "

Dunmer (Dark Elf) Racial Skills
Dunmer (Dark 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.
Dark Elf Racial Passives
The Dark Elves are an interesting Race because they are equally good as Stamina and Magicka roles, making them a great choice for those that are not certain just how they wish to play their character. In addition, they are ideal for those wishing to take the Vampirism Skill Line, as the extra Flame Resistance will help to offset some of their weakness to Fire-based attacks. Consider taking this Race if you can’t decide between Stamina or Magicka, or you know you want to be a Vampire.

Dark Elf Warden Hybrid? I’m new to ESO, seems like Fire and Ice RES seems OP but why isn’t this build a thing? Maybe it’s the DPS that’s subpar I’m too early game to know.
