In this video, I took a deeper dive into the proposed racial changes and how they will impact PvE DPS.

In general, it looks like the changes to max resources is going to be a nerf overall for resource pools for most characters. Bosmer will see a universal buff to their resource pools, but most other races will see a small nerf to their resource pools. However, the inclusion of other passives may offset the small DPS loss that results from this.

For magicka DPS, Khajiits are a contender as a top racial option. Assuming sustain is not an issue, Altmer pull out ahead by a noticeable margin based on ability metric, but Khajiits are pretty close to Dunmer in terms of ability metric. With a solid group, the crit bonus from Khajiits may close the gap between themselves and the Altmer.

For stamina DPS, Dunmer have pulled ahead, due to a fairly large resource bonus on top of a boost to Weapon Damage. Assuming they can sustain a full Light Attack rotation, Dunmer are noticeably ahead of the other races, with Orcs coming the closest to matching them. Redguard and Bosmer bring up the rear in terms of pure ability metric, but their sustain bonus may end up tipping the scales in their favor if Dunmer and Orcs cannot sustain a full Light Attack rotation.
