A different role for racial abilities

For the beta’s final week of testing, weapon specialization abilities have been removed and replaced with new racial traits. The update also adjusts other racials, making the shift broader than a simple swap of one ability type for another.[1]

Class fixes arrive alongside the racial changes

Every class received fixes and tweaks in the same beta update. Paladin players can also look to the previously published Paladin Deep Dive for the Salvation change referenced in the notes.[1]

TL;DR

  • The final-week beta update removes weapon specialization abilities and replaces them with new racial traits.[1]
  • The update also adjusts other racial abilities and includes fixes and tweaks for every class; Paladin’s Salvation change had been covered in a separate deep dive.[1]
