Remove Racials, replace with Glyphs or something

Racials are boring and in some instances for you to play a race. Im a BB dwarf because i heal and MotM is primo.

You could never have a racial, for example, that extends your dots for 3 seconds, or gives you Trailblazer because it would make certain taces mandatory. But it doesnt have to be this way.

Remove racials, and if people are hell bent on RPing, let them take the racials as glyphs. For everyone else, just let us take things that would enhance our gameplay.

Id kill for a Second Wind racial. Shadowmeld is great for bathroom breaks or looking at the map. Let monks have flight form.

We need to shake the game up a little. Having non-combat abilities regardless of class, that are customizable and a little whacky wpuld inject some life/fun into the game that we kinda need right now.

They should just be removed but people take a weird pride in it and much like a world pvper trying to justify how a max level camping a level 15 for 2 hours is vital for game they will bend themselves into a pretzel to defend it.

Citation is warranted!

Every racial that affects damage/healing/resistances should be removed.

They should be just QoL (eg. Mole Machines, summonable mail, etc) or just minor combat things that wouldn’t affect throughput greatly (eg. Haymaker, Rocket Jump, etc). Or even cosmetic racials.

If they do that’s less revenue for them. For the CEO and shareholders.

Coming from a non-pvper, I like my racials.

Thats a good point. That means there wont be reform.

I don’t fault you for it. There is an argument they add flavor to the game. I just see racials as a poor design choice. Much like how when racials affected what spells priests could learn.

I rather player race be 100% cosmetic. Though I admit even having hit 2400 in past seasons of pvp and having quite a few ces I have still played non meta races.

I would be lying though if there were times it hurt not having the meta race.
