They have one passive while other races have 2-3 passives. All involving combat and are really helpful. While high elf gets better mana regen when Resurrected? WTF?!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Baraka:
Indefatigable
Baraka are built sturdily, like their ancestors. Their stamina never falls below 20%, even if they die. Passive.
Gather No Moss
Stopping a baraka is like holding back an avalanche. Baraka have a 10% bonus to resist binding or paralyzing effects. Passive.

Castanics:
Dirty Fighting
Castanics fight to win. When attacking from behind, they have a greater chance to critically hit. Passive.

Amani:
No Stranger to Pain
More amani toughness. When their health is low, damage resistance kicks in. Passive.
Blood of Dragons
Did we mention amani are tough? All Amani have increased resistance to damage-over-time effects.

Human:
Indomitable Spirit
When fighting other players, humans take less damage when they're low on health. Passive.
Resilience of Body
It's tough to keep a human down. When resurrected, they regenerate health.


These 3 races have 2 Passives that all prove helpful in combat while mana regen Resurrection does not do anything in combat nor is helpful because one should not wish to die to make use of this "great passive ability"

You're right.

If Amani get "No Stranger to Pain", High Elves should get "No Stranger to Love" which causes their enemies to rage as a dancing Rick Astley obstructs their view.

Again how does RESURRECTING with more mana help casters? Why would anyone want to die? In PVP AND PVE the object is to kill the enemy and LIVE.

They aren't gimped for anyone. Mana is important to melee too!

The only races with nothing to show for combat are the Elin and the Popori, besides their diminutive stature (it matters.)

EDIT: To add, resurrection is possible IN COMBAT. This isn't WoW ;)

Being rezzed in combat, and being a High elf means your mana regens faster as you stand up and get ready to fight again.

Pretty helpful if you ask me.

If I was a Sorcerer, I'd be rolling High Elf for sure.

I Know you can Resurrect, instant or cast time, in combat but is it like guild wars where you can interrupt or anything?
Either Way the mana is not worth it to me

Not worth it as opposed to what for a Sorcerer? Resistance to DOTs and snares?

All races (except Elin and potpourri) have combat utility. They're not all for everyone, which is good...cuz if they were we'd all be the same race.

This please.
