Racial Skills: what we know and what we hope for.

Speely

I am very interested in what form the racial skills will take. It seems like the only thing differentiating the factions as far as character builds go. I think that differentiation in this sense makes for interesting dynamics in RvR, and as such I am hoping for racial skills to provide that...

... however, I am not holding my breath. It seems that each race gets a number of passives and an Ultimate in their racial skill line. One passive is an exp boost for a weapon type and another is a resistance (i.e. probably bows for Bosmers as an exp boost and disease for their resistance.) Sounds fine, but I hope the other passives are a bit less underwhelming from a build viewpoint. 

Don't get me wrong: resistances can be huge impacts on PvP (look at DAoC... they are arguably the most important factor, period) but I hope for a little more flavor from racial skills. 

The exp gain boost for weapon type doesn't affect the skill cap for said weapon, so that's basically a wash.

What are some other racial skills you want to see? Keep in mind they are all passive skills except the Ultimate.

More than likely theyll all be cool and useful in the beginning then once a couple people die in a PvP zone theyll blame the racials, like they always do. Then the nerfs will start. It will be all down hill from there.
