Several racials land on what this kit already does, and they land often.

One racial clearly pays this class back, with useful cover around it.

Something real for this class, either narrow in scope or small in reach.

Most of this kit pays out somewhere else, and only part of it reaches this class.

Little here answers what this class actually needs.

Leads with a big damage or healing boost for this class and adds a second racial that changes a fight.

Breaks a crowd control type this class cannot shake on its own and adds a second racial that matters against players.

Either a crowd control break with little beside it, or two racials that change a player fight, such as burst, a defensive cooldown or stealth.
