While I am convinced that many of us has read upon the racial traits for all of the races, we land on the fact that the Elin/Popori traits don't seem to stack against traits such as
"Indomitable Spirit
When fighting other players, humans take less damage when they're low on health. Passive."
"Skirmish Running
An enraged castanic can sacrifice some stability for greater combat speed. 30 minute cooldown."
While Baraka, Humans and Castanics are very PVE/PVP-centric in their traits, Elin/Popori have the traits of collecting grass and swim faster, that do not benefit us directly in battle.
Will this influence your decision of race?
Not at all, well maybe a little bit, the Baraka`s full heal racial might save my [filtered] occasionally. But to be honest, most of the racials are on extremely long cooldowns or aren`t as beneficial as they sound.
It may weigh my mind slightly but not much.
The taking less damage the lower the health has the potential to be gamebreaking. It's the only reason I may not roll high elf.
Personally I thought Human and Baraka with better treats in relation with pvp/pvm. And like someone said, the racial cooldown are very long. So, its good take care when you choose, cause depends of the skill its not so benefit.
Nah, I'm still gonna roll Elin. I mean, what's better: a passive trait, or looking [filtered] adorable?
A good race doesn't have an OP racial. A good race makes you go "d'awwww" every time you're at the character select screen.
These races seems to be more profitable to grinding through the lesser time geting materials and others like this.
I am still gonna roll mt popori, even tho his trait doesn't profit very well in PvP/PvE. I find the traits are successful towards crafting.
I do feel it their racials are a bit lackluster, Castanic seems rather mediocre too. Their smaller hit boxes may make up for that though.
I am still going to play Elin, but I will say, the racials are completely useless. Toggle abilities aside (they have long cooldowns anyways, the passives for Aman, Baraka, Castanic, and Human are really strong in my opinion. High elf and Elin/Popori really got the shaft when it comes to that.
Aman: More amani toughness. When their health is low, damage resistance kicks in. Passive.
Sounds pretty good.
Baraka: are built sturdily, like their ancestors. Their stamina never falls below 20%, even if they die. Passive.
Sounds pretty good.
Castanic: When attacking from behind, they have a greater chance to critically hit. Passive.
Sounds pretty good.
Human: When fighting other players, humans take less damage when they're low on health. Passive.
Sounds pretty good.
High Elf: Elven mental focus means they regenerate some mana whenever they resurrect. Passive.
Sounds pretty good. IF YOU PLAN ON DYING. /facepalm
Elin/Popori: Elins are at home in water, and faster than other races.
No combat in water. Utterly useless passive. I guess its not bad if you feel like playing some RP swimming.
