Brace yourself
Old racial ability changes are comming!

[Zokten]

I see undead get a pretty nice new racial......and space cows racial just got worse.

[soulkeeperx]

I hope they raise the cap to 90 with this build...

[Auxora]

Major undead racial change, removing the almost worthless underwater breathing and adding a chance at a damaging attack that heals. The underwater breathing was useful long ago when other races couldn't stay underwater for very long, but when they greatly extended the time all the races could stay underwater it became almost useless. Plus any quests where you are underwater for long usually provided some sort of breathing potion/bladder, etc. This will make undead the Horde race of choice for pvp for sure.

[Deleted]

finally some love for UD ^^

[kymmico]

OMG! They're making changes to the racials??!?!???!!!? YESSSSS!!!!

[Moonhyde]
