Racials and the Brigand

I made a human, cause I am a glutton for punishment!

Quote:

Human
Innates:
Multitalented - .5s reduction to all harvesting skills (P)
Will to Survive - water summon (A)

Choices:
Clothier - Tailoring 5% success chance (P)
Diversity - +5 to all tradeskills (P)
Tend Wounds - str + out of combat health regen, 3 min dur, 10 min recast (A)
Urban Sprawl - 10 min faster recast of city recall spells (P)
Diplomacy - Soothe spell, 'reduces awareness of enemies', does not affect epics, 20 sec dur, 2 min recast (A)
Environmental Adaptability - heat/cold resist (P)
Perserverance - 5 sta (P)
Versatility - 7 to crush, pierce, ranged, slash, disruption, ministration, defense, deflection (P)
Bayle's Strike - DD, 30 sec recast (A)
Ruggedness - 3% max health (P)

Soothe looks like it might have some usefulness, Some resists and health bonus. Anyone know what the Bayles Strike damage is? Always looking for a new attack! To be honest I never worry about racials despite some people thinking the sky is falling over them. At least I still have my devilishly good looks.

I don't remember all the rats off hand. But we get 25% increased poison triggers, crit chance, and pitiful please has a position dehate tacked on. Oh and alchemy crafting mana cost reducer.

i'm not disappointed in my gnomish heritage, despite what others think.

I'm a new player on EQ2 and start last week a Kerran Brigand.
According to the new racials traits, will it be usefull for you to do an other race ? Like Dark Elf for the +25% poison trigger or the buff +5% critics for 24 sec ?

Amen. People are really going to like DE racials if they don't get nerfed from all the people of other races complaining.

The impact of these new racial traits has been exaggerated way out of proportion the last few days, IMO. People talking about rerolling lvl 70 and some 200+ days played chars for the sake of gaining 2% crit obviously lost their perspective somewhere, or just whining for the sake of it.

If one is a min-maxer and couldnt care less about what their character is/looks like, then yeah it would be wise to pick "the right" race for your chosen class if rolling one now. If you already are 30 40 50 levels into your char though, is it really worth it? For VERY few people I think it would be.

eh. i like the low vantage point of a gnome too much. too bad there's no miniskirts to make the best of it.

No most people are/were bitching about Fury of innurok for DE's and arasai's which is a 15% melee/spell crit, 10% Spell/Combat art haste, and 35 haste mod. ( 35 dps mod for arasai's ) for 30 seconds. Recast is 5mins.

Now that is what I saw on beta, and it could have been changed ( nerfed ) by now, but that specific spell I just described is flat out better then a lot of Miracles/blessings.

Yea I would bitch over that too lmao.

Real DE lovers will continue loving them even after the nerf
