I've played both classes, and the abilities are mirrored exactly. The graphics used are the only thing that's different. I too have noticed problems with the mechanics, where the channeled ability (not "concentrated" as one poster put it. Idiot.) appears to be finished but the remaining rounds finally go off, long after the targets moved out of the way. It has nothing to do with pushback due to myself not being targeted. It's a glitch and it needs to be fixed.

The "talents" the different races have are all social-based. There's no mechanical advantage / disadvantage inherent in whatever race you pick, not like WoW where the racials have an impact on certain types of mechanics.

OP, you're wrong, as usual. The term DPS has been around a lot longer than using DD. Everytime I saw the term DD, I was lead to believe it was someone joking about bra cup size, not damage dealing. I've been playing MMOs since Everquest first came out, cutting into UO's market and taking a fair share of people due to it being connected to Sony and its FF franchise, and the term DD was obsolete then. Quit acting elitist and being that "special snowflake", because you're not. DPS is here to stay. Period.

I'm tired of kilts. I want pants!
