Or a Mithra ninja over all other races.
Call me crazy but id prefer base INT of 79 over 67 and base MP of 858 over 599 for a blm. That's just my opinion.

I'd take a Galkan BLM over an Elvaan BLM any day of the week.
I'd call you shortsighted instead.

Player skill, knowledge, and gear are so much more important than race, it's only a slight hyperbole to call race an round-off error outside of HP and MP. Even for those stats, I'd rather have good players over the "perfect race"--1500 max MP or max HP on a bad player will do you no good if they are dead on the ground or wiped the party/alliance due to idiocy.

No one things makes a player skilled: reflex, knowledge, gears, set up--they all have to come together. Race is about the last thing out of a long list of desirable traits to worry over.



I’m in pain, but I’m happy.
It hurts, but I can smile.
That’s why I can tell you from the depths of my being…
