health regen

[Thawwing Light]

I think troll mage takes the absolute prize for the worst set of racials in the game:

Health regen: I never sit and watch my health bar go up, if it's too low I eat conjured food. Useless

Throwing weapons specialisation: Can't use em

Cast and attack speed buffs if someone crits me: got Improved AM, if someone's critting me and I don't want to nova and blink then Improved AM gets no benefit from this and is my better option that a 25% faster but stuttered Fireball

+5% damage to beasts: unless you're a mage. For some reason this doesn't affect my spells. When I nuke beasts I seem to do exactly the same damage to them as to anything else.

I don't think any other class and race combination has such utterly useless traits. The Troll traits might be quite decent on a Warrior, in fact

I'm a warrior. I still maintain they're terrible. Berzerking and Beaslaying are marginal, Throwing is ALWAYS pointless to everyone. Ever. If you're using a throwing weapon, as I did till 48, you do it because:

1) Style
2) It doesn't take inventory space
3) It's faster than a bow

Never damage that 5 more skill adds.

Beastslaying? 5-10 per swing more damage on about 1/3 of the enemies I fight. Marginal, but as close as troll gets to good.

Berzerking? Haven't used it extensively. I prefer the old talent design, where I didn't need to be crit upon to activate it (I'm building +def gear, I'm not a fury warrior). and wear it didn't up damage taken by 10%. Berzerker stance is enough of a risk. This one's also marginal.

Health Regen? It's anemic. Early game, the 1 health every few seconds isn't doing anything. Endgame? the 5 health is just as pathetic.

Trolls take comfort in our incredible sense of style, because our racial traits are flat out crap. I'd trade all 4 for 5% more health, warstomp, or even Nerfed WoTF.
