When Should You Reroll Your Race?
Race Spins are an extremely valuable resource obtained from active promo codes (like OCTOBER) and high-level Guild Raid drops. Follow these guidelines:
- Never reroll away from Nightborn or Draconic: With only a 2-3% roll rate, keeping a Legendary race guarantees endgame supremacy.
- Keep High Elf if playing Mage or Cleric: The 10% Mana reduction prevents spell lockouts in long boss battles.
- Reroll Human once you enter Act 2: While the 10% bonus Knowledge helps early level progression, Human provides no combat stat scaling in Torment mode.
