Nord 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.
Nord Racial Passives
Nords are a very tough to kill, and should be considered by those that wish to Tank as their primary role, or for those that wish to PvP, as extra Physical and Spell Resistance goes a long way in both of these cases. The increased Ultimate generation is also ideal for both of these, since Ultimate abilities often determine the victor in Cyrodiil, and it can really improve your effectiveness in group content. Select this Race if you know you want to Tank.
Best Builds for Nords
- Magicka DPS: Not Good (Destruction Staff)
- Stamina DPS: Passable (Two-Handed Weapon, Dual Weapons, Bow)
- Healer: Not Good (Restoration Staff)
- Tank: Excellent (One-Handed and Shield)

Remember, in every elder scrolls game you hear “HA like a nord would ever turn down a fight” in that case they should get the extra 258 weapon damage bonus as a passive as well lol.

Nords are taller and bigger than orcs even at max height, hell there are Nords that are legendary mages. Like the first dragon born and way long ago in the past used magic but with time they just became melee fighters, if there wasn’t balance in the game nords would have all traits because of there long long past and lores. Nords could do it all

I would say Nord is passable as a healer. Not really optimal due to lack of max magicka and healing done compared to the most common races, Nord's tankiness is not that bad trait for a healer and the ultimate generation helps you to drop important ultimates like warhorn, barrier or nova more often.

Need to update the Rugged passive. Instead of 2% on rank I it's 1%.

Well, Nord seems to be more substantial with health recovery, longer affect from drinks and damage reduction.

And more or the same amount* sorry this is what I meant but auto correct is stupid sometimes!

The Orc should have the rugged perk and more of the same amount of health buff as the nord because Orsimer are large, tough , beast like elf kind.

Why does the orc not have the most racial skill health buff and the rugged perk when orcs are huge and tough!?
Okay
