On the raid side, this is largely a current day P99-specific issue due to P99's modern culture of zerg raiding and trainout/lack of clear tactics. Hence it might be subject to eventual change if the ruleset is ever updated.

I am always talking about what's currently good on P99 specifically, since that is what we are playing. Maybe that is where some of the confusion comes from. I am not trying to talk about what "should be", "could be", "it worked x way on live", etc.

Regeneration from any source (racial, worn, either nice and they stacked) was great on the feigner classes back in the original game or in years past on P99 when things like wipes happened and lengthy traditional corpse runs took place. In such conditions it was not unheard of to spend 10-20 min feigned in place slowly regenerating. This is the tank board so that applies to shadowknights.

Agreed, there are cases where regeneration can help recovering during feign death. But since raids are a race, normally you aren't waiting for a single puller to recover, you have backups, or even die and get a res because it's faster.

On warriors my own favorite racial trait in large group (especially raid) scenarios is physical size: It's helpful for everyone to be able to pick their main tank who'll be controlling positioning/etc out from a crowd. That's hard to do if the tank is some stupid little dwarf or gnome. Ogres and trolls are good, barbarians okay, medium races ho-hum in that aspect, short races are annoying. The more people the more of an annoyance it becomes. That's the only trait anyone else is going to notice and even then they ultimately won't care THAT much.

Agreed. It's better to be bigger by default in most normal situations, because then it is easier to climb some staircases (such as Kael), and you can shrink when you need to. Being small all the time is harder, because there aren't as many methods to scale back up. Ant Pots are quite easy to get for anyone when you need to be small.
For raiding there are only a few targets where size matters when getting resed (such as Zlandicar). Even then experienced guilds know how to get around that with the level geometry.
