It's not just the human racial anymore though. Many melee players have gone gnome due to the root break instead even though I still think human might be best. The primary stat bonus from on use trinket alone is huge, plus the versatility (which is rather weak atm, but will progressively become stronger and stronger as well) it ends up to a 6-10% dmg/healing bonus (the agility on my on use trinket alone increases my healing by 6%).
Then we also have the dwarf. Many casters have gone dwarf due to the racial removing silences (even though Holinka said it shouldn't be usable while CCed, silly holinka haha... ha..)
But hey, look at it from the bright side! You can now either be a large bulky man, a below average sized bulky guy or a midget guy!
