Horrible =/= Situational
It's not a one-size fits all perk and it's not a "I have this really good advantage over ever other race, pick me" perk. It's just a "hey, this is a bonus and it may come in handy once in a while" perk. If you can't think of any situations where you can make use out of knowing a person's class in the beginning of a fight, that's on you. It doesn't need to be all that useful anyway because once again, this is a perk on top of the suggested "elemental resistance/will/res". I'm pretty sure I don't need to argue the usefulness of seeing elemental resistances.
So it doesn't matter if one of their features is only good for mages or magic gunners, they have other features to go with that, good will growth, and races having a specific focus that they're good at is neither uncommon nor is it fundamentally wrong.
