Guild Wars 2

Either give it to everyone or disable it. Racial abilities should not be best in slot for raid encounters. Talk about an oversight.

It’s not best in slot unless you are a class that doesn’t have CC. And its not that great to begin with. No idea why you think that. Stomp on a warrior is the same CD and its considered a terrible skill and is still better than technobabe lol

Edit what are you even talking about. A mace mace warrior with headbut and a cc utility has like 5 ccs. And a Rev can nearly break the bar with 1 skill.

Many groups who are clearing Gorseval are running it on an Ele because it’s a 3 second daze on a shorter cooldown than his break bar that is instant, so it won’t interrupt channels.

You didn’t think it was BiS for every class now, did you? “But Rev staff 5!” Lordy.

A strong case can be made for druid spirit or take root for staff elementalists in zerg encounters too.

Racial abilities should never be strong options unless we get a race change option.

My guess is, if you absolutely need a racial skill in your raid comp, then maybe you need to rethink it with different classes/different builds.
Because, there is no racial skill (to my knowledge) that doesn’t have a strictly better alternative as a class skill.

Radiation field is a 15 second poison field. For condition thieves in solo or parties that don’t mind having one placed on their target, it’s pretty useful to get 3 poison bolts off on each death blossom.

Become the Snow Leopard has niche use in WvW for classes without native access to stealth as a way to get it for the purposes of gap closing from a short distance away, or fleeing.

Summon Druid spirit has use in staff elementalist Zerg Vs Zerg fights where the glyph of elementals summon walks into melee range of the enemy zerg and dies, you don’t plan on using fiery greatsword to reposition, and tornado is too close range for your full glass cannon, non-focus using self against a zerg of 50+ players.
