Get rid of Angelic Flight

[Estovia]

And no, this isn't a case of buyer's remorse.

When I picked my race, I did so because Angelic Flight was cool. You could do all kinds of things with it.

Since then, it's been ground underfoot for reasons I don't even understand. Can't be used in PVP. Can't be used in Dungeons. Heck it can't even be used for anything useful outdoors - my wife refers to it as lazy programming - there's nothing to signify that I can't leap from one place to another, say the parapets of Shadefallen Keep - but the moment I try, I lift into the air to be blocked by an invisible barrier, and drop to the ground for 4000 damage.

Right now it stands as a nearly useless ability. Heck half the time I can't even get it to trigger, because while I'm trying to line up the 30m it's supposedly good for, it will randomly decide I'm trying to overshoot the max range and cancel out.

Just kill it already. Heck don't even replace it. You made an effort to give the races a unique ability and people whined because one was better than another until you caved, and that's OK. But really, just remove it. All it does is serve to remind me that it used to be useful.

I use it for scaling mountains, not for spanning gaps. It's great for a lot of areas where you just can't quit jump high enough on foot or on a mount but use Angelic Flight and you can usually tag a ledge and carry on.

If you know it has a chance of not working, don't use it in situations where falling will mean you die. It's not complicated. All of the racial abilities are for flavor more than function. Super extra bonus points if it lets you get away with something you otherwise might not have been able to.

I don't think I've used angelic flight since level 10. Forgot all about it

[Bivrington]

I miss the original racials. Gimmie my stat bonus back, get rid of this garbage planar resistance crap.

[Galdrin]

I have to say the racials are in general underwhelming (with the exception of maybe Dwarves). They could use a revamp; let's see some really cool abilities for each race, so we can all say "man I'm glad I made this toon a ___."

[garraeth]

Um no. I use it all the time to get at artifacts and around exploring. Just because you never use it and/or want a leg-up in PvP isn't a good reason to ruin the fun for everyone else.

[bctrainers]

I'd love to see racials for both male and female to be different of each race.

[PVStar]

I can't explain how incredibly useful it's been for me while scaling mountains and stuff like that.

[TimeBomb]

Angelic Flight is the Guardian version of Bahmi's Mighty Leap, right?
This is by far the best racial skill in the game.
Very useful for scaling mountains, making certain jumps that are normally impossible, and getting artifacts. It's also just plain fun. I almost get a "parkour"-esque feeling when using it, depending on how I use it.

It's important to note that otherwise-impossible jumps can only be made if the level[in terms of height] of the landing area is very similar to the level of the starting area.

I've even been able to use this method to sneak to minibosses in some open world quests. Very nice ability. It is the only reason why all my new characters are Bahmi. The ability is really useful... while the other racials are pretty useless, especially after level ~10.

[Dradym]

while its very useful in specific circumstances....there seems to be some horrible bugs with it-just doesnt work right sometimes-most of the time you have to overshoot it to do it right and going up is really hard. prolly on a related note, if they were to fix the bug to which i am referring, they would make push back abilities a lot more powerful by allowing you to push mobs and people off ledges-which i would love them to fix this. in stillmoor it would be ridiculous though

[RSLogic]

Currently I've been using it to spend one of my planar charges enhancing defenses on EI and then jump right back to the still pulsing planar crystal to get that charge back before the crystal expires

I've found many uses for it and I don't think it has EVER been the cause of me dying.

[Gumdrop]

Angelic Flight doesn't hold a candle to the worthlessness of the Mathosian ability.

[Trehearn]

none of teh racial abilitys can be used in pvp, or dungeons,

none of them actually impart any true advantage to anyone.

they can't be used in combat.

etc etc etc, it's been that way since beta, so why are you complaining now?

[RSLogic]

The "turn into a fox and have less aggro from mobs" thing SOUNDED cool when I first started, but then I tried it and STILL got aggro and died. Dropped that char quickly.

I didn't like the dwarven racial until I started doing IA in Stillmore and Shimmersand. Lots of cliffs...I could see how useful that would be.

[-Swag-]

Racials are a joke. You're better off just ignoring them.

I will, however, repeat my plea from the Beta (when racials were changing near-weekly and Trion actually thought that Suicidal Narcolepsy was a good idea for a racial) that the idea of racial abilities should be scrapped and they should be reintroduced as planar abilities. Let the players choose which ability they want (one at a time, respeccable but at an extremely high cost).
