Anyone who got out of Yuhtunga alive should know that there is more to BLM than "do as much damage as possible as fast as possible". Other race BLMs are often still alive casting Sleepga II while the tarus are all sucking dirt. If you don't think that's valuable to a linkshell, then I'm glad you and I aren't in any of the same linkshells. Some of the best BLMs I know are mithra, humes and elvaan - and yes, a few galka too. | Quote: | But this guy's quote was "If you're an Elf BLM you might as well jump off a bridge" - anyone who has half a brain knows there isnt that much difference in racial stats in endgame.
Last post on this "debate", it's so 2006. | Add to that the fact that when you need more BLMs, you need more BLMs no matter what race they are. I used to be in an LS with an Elvaan PLD and BLM. He was sometimes asked to leave the Aegis in his MH and bring his BLM, depending on the fight and how many other tanks and BLMs showed up - because he was actually good at both jobs.
