DarkLordHeretyk Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Plan on rolling Powertech to tank/pvp, and was wondering which race gives tanking/pvp an advantage? It doesnt matter to me what my character looks like because i'll just get the ugly mug covered up with a helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basili Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 There aren't any racials like in WoW, the race choice is purely aesthetic. Go with whatever you think looks best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkLordHeretyk Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 I could've swore I saw some kind of Racial Ability in the race selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says on the status you feel vulnerable and I love messing with people's heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithros Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Let's see... Cyborgs get to scan folks, which means nothing. Humans get a rally emote, I think, which means nothing. Rattataki get a 'shadowbox' which doesn't really look like shadowboxing and which also means nothing. Seeing a pattern? The different species abilities add nothing in terms of combat. They are special emotes or different ways to do what anyone can do. All for flavor. Every choice of species is as good as every other. This isn't a theory, like how all tanks or all healers or all DPS are equal in theory, this is fact. If you take any species and plug them into the same gear and skill tree set-up, they will function identically in combat as any other species.

Gotta love the guys that really have no clue about the game, but ask such amazing questions. I cringe for whatever guild he is part of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't find it that foolish a question, considering many other games include racial passive or active abilities. It's not like he asked "I get a retractable light saber, Rite?"

Kesrik Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Except he could have gone on torhead.com, typed in the racial ability and immediately answered his own question. People are so lazy that they refuse to do anything for themselves. They come on the forums and clog it up with questions that should even have to be asked, and then I get a forum warning for being snarky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakku Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I guess everyone has things that annoy them. You don't enjoy people asking questions on forums, I don't enjoy people being needlessly rude on forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like something you like doing, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
