Racials were reworked too

Weapon-skill racials are gone (Humans' sword/mace skill, Orc axe skill and so on); the weapon specializations now grant crit chance instead. Human Diplomacy is removed. The full per-race list transcribed from the beta stream is on the Talents page.

Class identity stays central: new abilities, meaningful talents, reworked racials.

The Deep Dive panel added the design rule: every race now has two active and two passive racials, balanced between utility, throughput and survivability. Will of the Forsaken was toned down, Cannibalize restores mana, and Find Treasure now works alongside other tracking abilities.
