Orsimer (Orc) 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.
Below is the list of the Current Passive skills, along with a new list of Proposed Passive skills that is expected to arrive for Update 21 Wrathstone in February of 2019.
Orc Racial Passives
Orcs have a heavy focus on the use of Weapons, putting them square into the Stamina DPS category. Their extra Health and healing, also help should they decide to Tank or PvP. Their Sprint cost reduction and Movement Speed increase also help tremendously with PvP, where you need to Sprint often, and can help them catch their prey or escape if they find them self in a bad situation. Select this Race if you plan to PvP often, or know you want to Stamina DPS.
Best Builds for Orcs
- Magicka DPS: Not Good (Destruction Staff)

Why is that melee dmg buff so low? 8 or even 6% seem like a better incentive...4% Dmg for an Orc without mitigation is a slap in the face!
Orcs are simply designed to be able to do more damage and run faster then nords. Nords are designed to be able to mitigate more damage. Seems balanced to me.

I think that the Orc should have the damage resistance buff called rugged that the bird has and should have the same amount of health boost the nord has,9%, or even more.
