Race and Class Combinations - Should the decision have weight?

PoliceGirl

These kinds of little bonuses should be actually useful while at the same time non-discouraging of untraditional combos.

Yah, what @Rhuric said.

Should one race be better on martial and the other at magical? Not necessarily. Honestly, I don't think it matters that much. It's more important that the skill makes the choice matter. Good PvE skills are the best way to do this with good cool downs. PVE racial skills should outshine pvp racial skills.

I should have a decent amount of weight. PIcking your race should feel like an impactful decision that adds flavor to your characters build. I know it's an unpopular opinion but min/maxers will be min maxers it's no reason to not have those fun character building decisions.

I say this as some one who is going to be a dwarf ranger.

Agreed to the fullest even if it is a small buff like 3% crit dmg or movement speed attached to race selection.
Make a game where thought out builds matter... Unique character builds MATTERS... Ownership of a build and its uniqueness is part of the emersion of an MMO... Cookie cutter crap is boring AF and leads to nothing but a BIS gear grind and hot garbage pvp... Some extent of the holy trinity is a must in MMOs in my opinion and I have played just about every mmo since well the beginning....

I think races should have skills that relate to the core environments, like the sea dwarf should get bouns near or on sea like better at building ship's and so on.

I think race should have a bearing on your main and sub job AS LONG AS there is gear available to help you compensate for your deficit.
