with the cat race nerf what is the general word on which race is ideal for nightblade now.

Same as it has always been: dependent on build.
Khajiit racial wasn't nerfed ... it was fixed. Bow and magic (the bonus to crit damage affected magic too) was not meant to be part of the bonus and you still do the same damage bonus as intended.
You stay sassy!
LOL...love when people try to belittle others...so, "the fix" that toned them down, needed or not...is a nerf..just sayin.

One thing I have learned over the years is never play a race due to race bonuses because it will get nerfed and buffed over time, play the race that you enjoy.
Personally I am going to play a Redgaurd , my reason for wanting to play a Redgaurd is because they seem to be the only ethnic/black people in the game and seeing as I am ethnic myself I can connect better with that race, I am still up in the air as to what class, I know I like melee and tanking but seeing as all classes can tank I have no clue, I do know I want to use as little magic as I can so maybe Nightblade using fighters guild & one hand & shield skills but then again Templar and Dragon sound nice too, I need at least one good self heal and all 3 classes have that, dame I am so confused lol ,Oh well I make my choice on login day : )
Anyways, "Good Luck" and remember play what you enjoy the most because nothing is set in stone in the MMO World.
How the **** am I belittling others? It was a fix. ZOS knows precisely what scale each racial damage bonus is supposed to be. The original +crit and damage bonus applied itself to things NOT intended. That is the definition of a bug. A nerf only applies to something intended in function but ends up being too powerful.
The total damage bonus to melee (as intended) actually works out to about the same damage IF a character wasn't benefiting from the scaling issues throwing it out of whack with certain stat setups. The INTENDED bonus is about the same (in fact some have found it adds more total damage after the fix with certain stat setups ... but at least scale into broken territory as magic was when +crit and bonus crit damage was leaping into OMG numbers).
You calling it a nerf is using the word improperly for dramatization. Facts state otherwise. If you didn't abuse the original bonus to scale it outside of intended numbers you in fact will see little to no change with it's current state and in some cases you may even do MORE damage now. Same results means no nerf. Doing more damage than before is called a buff (if theory craft proves true).
You stay sassy!
i hate cats
Well if you are going melee nightblade I would suggest the dark elf for the dual wield bonus.
If range woodelf for the bow.
thought dark elves had a magic bonus...
It does depend on what you are doing.
Redguard and Imperial if you are looking at stamina based attacks.
Those racials are nice, but since they only apply to experience gain, they are pretty much meaningless at max level. Better off looking at the other bonuses that will pay off with a bigger bang for your buck imo.
Well the best would be the argonian hands down. Healing received and damage mitigation on top of that the swimming speed bonus.
but technically argonian would be the best racials for any class in endgame.
There isn't one.
Playing around a couple of racials which add minimal bonuses is not going to give the boost many imagine. Racials in this game add flavor, but are so far down the lists of things that will affect the outcome of a fight as to be inconsequential.
