Ah...my apologies...I must have forgotten the part where the order for what's most important about a persons character is race > talent / skill > Knowledge > gear / masters. I'm sorry...

To clarify, I'm not saying you have no right to be pissed...what I was saying is that when they mentioned they'd be retooling racial abilities for what each race is primarily played as, you should have known this was coming...that was all. But apparently that makes me a fanboi.

Halfling Illusionist...

Hafling
Innates:
A halflings feast - 25% increased duration for food/drink (P)
Always Prepared - summons jum jum pue (A)

Choices:
Pants Patcher - Tailoring CA 10% power reduction (P)
Niami's Tutelage - Provisioning 5% success chance increase (P)
Poison Expertise - 25% Poison Trigger Increase (P)
Light on Feet - AGI + Out of Combat Health Regen, 3 min dur, 10 min recast (A)
Protection of the Jum Jum - ward, 5 min recast (A)
Rivervale's Protection - mental resist (P)
Wisdom of Rivervale - 5 wis (P)
Vale Protector - Melee: melee crit + piercing / Caster: 2 heal crit + 5 minstration (P)
Mischievous Strike - dd + melee skill debuff, 30 sec recast (A)
Jum Jum regimen - 3% health (P)

Now being a tailor, the power reduction on crafting is ok. The rest, tho, is pure crap for me. I mean... utter shit. I can't even opt to get the +crit and peircing, which I would use with the str line I'm planning on getting with my 20 extra AA for that tree. I am stuck with HEAL CRIT and MINISTRATION... what the fuck do I need with either of those?!

I can't even tell you how annoying that is. I thought I would actually get to choose between melee crits and heal crits, but NOOOO, I get stuck with the one that does me absolutely no good.

Again, fuck you whoever developed these OBSCENELY unbalanced and unfavorable traits. I was in beta today (first day I actually got to log in and beta buff myself while I wait on my copy to show up) and I was cursing out loud at the sheer stupidity of having to pick 8 of those abilities when only one is even sort of appealing to me.

Illusion mender bot is one of my favorites and the gnomes got that

. As one would expect they are also awesome tinkerers and clockwork dumbfire pets are always fun.

You're right, who would have thought that they would have chosen to be like every other fantasy MMO ever, instead of keeping the previously awesome egalitarian system that was in place for three solid years and under which all players had chosen their races?

Yeppers you know being able to look like a clockwork and cast a couple of dumbfires is much better then 5% crits, 10% casting haste, 35 melee haste and 120 to ca and spells!
