See Race and class combinations for the distinction between an announced addition, a preview listing, and an unlisted combination.
Recorded racial abilities
These are qualitative summaries of the preview, not final cooldown or tuning tables.[1]
| Ability | Recorded effect |
|---|---|
| Will to Survive | Removes stun effects. |
| Perception | Temporarily improves detection of stealthed enemies. |
| Sword Specialization | Equipping a sword activates a critical-strike benefit for spells and attacks, including auto-attacks. |
| The Human Spirit | Increases Spirit. |
Stun recovery and weapon choice
A sword requirement can affect equipment comparisons. Perception and Will to Survive answer different problems: finding a hidden opponent versus recovering after a stun. This is editorial advice for evaluating the preview, not a ranking of races.
First character checklist
- Choose a supported class from the linked preview list, then read its talent guide.
- Recheck racial tooltips at character creation and in the spellbook when beta is available.
- Record the build and conditions when reporting a change. Starting quests, trainer coordinates, and numerical racial comparisons need their own evidence.
The Priest preview also has class-specific racial spells. The four general abilities above are not a complete Priest racial spellbook.
