Every Human class uses Perception, Ruthless, The Human Spirit and Will to Survive.
Human Paladin
Tank · Healer · DamagePaladins draw on every Human racial plus mount spells of their own. Ruthless adds crit to your spells and attacks, Will to Survive breaks stuns, and Summon Warhorse puts a steed in your spellbook.
Ruthless · Crit on spells and attacks alike, with any weapon in hand.
Will to Survive · Clears a stun so you can get back to healing or hitting.
Summon Warhorse · A mount summoned from your spellbook whenever the road is long.
Human Warlock
DamageWill to Survive and Ruthless carry the Warlock kit: one breaks stuns, the other adds crit to your spells at all times. Perception and The Human Spirit fill in the rest.
Ruthless · Raises the crit chance of your spells, whatever you hold.
Will to Survive · Removes every stun on you in one press.
The Human Spirit · A passive lift to your Spirit that scales with the Spirit you already have.

Divine Grace · An instant heal for an ally low on health that also clears Weakened Soul.
Feedback · While it runs, enemy casters lose Mana and take Shadow damage when their spells hit you.

Perception · Sharper stealth detection for a short window when you suspect an ambush.
Will to Survive · Clears every stun on you so you can move and act again.

Two you press, two are always on. Each card says where the trait matters most.
Will to Survive
ActivePvP
Instantly removes all Stun effects.
Cooldown3 min
Keep it for the stun that would lose you the fight, not the first one that lands. One press clears every stun on you, so you can act again straight away.
Ruthless
PassiveCombat
Increases your critical strike chance with all spells and attacks by 1%.
Nothing to press and no weapon to match. The extra crit chance covers your spells as well as your attacks, so it helps in every fight whatever you carry.
Perception
ActivePvP
Dramatically increases stealth detection for 20 sec.
Cooldown3 minDuration20 sec
Press it when you suspect a stealthed enemy is close, before the ambush rather than after. The window is short, so time it to the moment an attack feels likely.
The Human Spirit
PassiveUtility
Spirit increased by 10%.
Because it is a percentage, the bonus grows with whatever Spirit you already have. There is no button to manage, so it needs no attention during a fight.
Human Paladin and Priest spells
Human Paladins and Priests train five spells no other Human can: two for Paladins and three for Priests.
Summon Charger
HolyPaladinSummons a Charger, which serves as a mount.
Use: Call the Charger from your spellbook before a long ride. The summon has a cast and a Mana cost, so start it in a quiet moment.
Summon Warhorse
HolyPaladinSummons a warhorse, which serves as a mount.
Use: Summon the warhorse whenever a trip is long enough to ride. It takes a short cast to appear, so begin it before you need to set off.
Divine Grace
7 ranksHolyPriestInstantly heals a friendly target below 50% Health for 149 and removes Weakened Soul from that target. Cannot be cast on self.
Use: Save it for an ally in real danger: it lands only on a friendly target low on health, never on you, and it clears Weakened Soul from them too.
Feedback
5 ranksShadowPriestThe priest becomes surrounded with anti-magic energy. Any successful spell cast against the priest will burn 18 of the attacker's Mana, causing 1 Shadow damage for each point of Mana burned. Lasts 15 sec.
Use: Raise it when an enemy caster turns on you. Every spell they land drains their Mana and hurts them back, so casting at you gets expensive.
Secrets of the Light
PriestAllows you to meditate on the mysteries of the Light in holy places.
Use: Watch for holy places while you travel. This is the spell that lets you meditate on the mysteries of the Light once you find one.
