Popori/Elin racials are still worse, sorry.

stop whining there are other races to choose. you don't have to play an elf if you dont like the racials.

like how you say noone cares about mana racial. If i made the same argument about the health regen, everyone says im stupid. Cuz face it... your argument is the same. a big pot does the same thing.

Bottom line, if you cannot stomach the race because of their racials, then you are picking the wrong race. Then again i accepted the good and bad when i pick my race. The cons can be made up by player skill, even if its considered more difficult. But like you said, i can just pop a expensive potion that has a lesser cooldown than the racials.

Racials are just icing on the cake... its fun to have, it probably has more benefits for use on a RP server as you have distinct skills that can actuall effect your game play RP wise. In PvE or PvP server without roleplaying, it isn't as noticable in gameplay... cuz no one is going to be dramatic before using their racials... or bother to talk much.

Have you read the post?
We are talking about -1 skill for the elves. Thye got 4 while every other race got 5, I guess this is not hard to understand.
This is missing content. A player should not be force to chose other race because of that.

You comparing a Full HP skill with a Full Mana Skill? Seriously?
Let me try to make it simple for your brain. 0 HP means death, 0 mana you still alive.

I dont know why I bother answering this kind of comment coming from ignorant people who havent played the game past lvl 40. Have a good day.

Like I said before, if they removed the +mana upon rez, and changed it to mana regen above or below 50% hp or something at all times...I'd be in love with the two mana racials.

Every 2 hours you can begin a fight spamming your most powerful attacks without having to combo for mana with a Zerker or Slayer. To those two classes, Zerker is not "useless" at all.

But, Elves have large mammary glands.




And balance was had by all. Mmmhmmm.

Elin agrees, Elves need help, for instance, Elin noticed Elves have these huge weird things where their chest should be. Elin hopes a good Mystic or Priest can cure them!

Just wanted to elaborate on this.
Yes I won't disagree 0 HP = dead. But having 0 Mana = consistant KD, no skills (or dodging) which could result in a very quick death as well.

Sure they only have 4 traits... TBH in game I never even noticed the slightest about anyone using their said traits (I rolled on a pvp server and guess what? Being human/aman/elin etc made no difference in it. Sure it might've reduced it slightly but not enough to go to the forums and QQ omg race is OP about it). I still have to say Elin's get it the worst FOR COMBAT compaired to the Elves. Run speed out of combat and pre emp strike? I'd take the full mana anyday.

But since you're QQing about 4 traits instead of 5... Everyones post is irrelevant and yours is .. well... also irrelevant from our PoV.

Flame on!

those umm....look pretty damn balanced to me.

but seriously, the elf racial is amazing, a lot better than most, but as with all racials its situational at best. play what you like.

If I may: Elves in the lore were kinda like the Argons to the rest of the entire world for a pretty long time. It was only semi-recently they turned to trying to fit in and help the other races... So maybe they have less "specials" because lore-wise they are trying to be accepted by the other races :) Which may mean in the future when they have proven themselves they will probably show off a few other olde time abilities as the game story progresses.

(Also, popori/elin racials are way worse: swim a little faster and make some mobs not hate you quite as much... as if they could catch you)

Just my two cents <3
