Wits is a very important attribute. Starting first is a huge help in winning fights.
You are exaggerating a lot with the humans weakness. I have Ifan as "Knight" and Lohse as "Ranger" and they are absolutely fine.
However, you are correct that elves are a bit too good overall. Getting skills from eating is very nice. Also getting a free ap in a fight is ... extremely nice. Too nice, as ap is the most precious resource ingame. I play a male elf as main and have Sebille as rogue. I do not use Flesh Sacrifice on my main and can feel the difference. It is extremely strong to have Flesh Sacrifice.
did you forget they also get 10% INCREASED DAMAGE as well as ap? it use to be 20%, seriously who the hell thought thats a good idea?
It was someone who really liked elves. A bit too much. I like elves because they go half-naked and barefoot, but that was seemingly not enough.
The damage is not that important in my opinion. The ap is the huge bonus. I would be ok with, if they take it away and give me some other for it. More Wits for example?
Starting first for me is the most important aspect in this game. Did I already say that damage is not that important? You do much damage anyway. Doing it first in a certain way doubles your armor, damage and cc. A person who puts points in Strength, Intelligence or Finesse while neglecting Wits is ... bold.
Some more Wits as racial gift frees up points for other attributes. So in the end it is an up to damage too.
