Humes Best job for BLU

Re: Humes Best job for BLU

9 STR difference isn't that big a deal in terms of overall dynamics. Most gear makes very little difference. Sure, you'll see bigger damage numbers with 9 more STR, but how much bigger - and does it make that much difference in the grand scheme of things?

like for my RNG example... close to the comparison of the one who use osode and the one who use hunter's jerkin?

It's quite big, especially when you count in the WS damage

in Summary, I don't want to make stats difference in race is percievably minimal nor I want to make the effect wearing certain gears is minimal.

Sure, the numbers change visibly. But when you're talking about overall damage from a party, or alliance in a BCNM or other event, that one piece of gear isn't going to make or break you. Having many such pieces of gear can set you apart, but just a single piece by itself rarely makes more than cosmetic impact on performance, and the difference in races is about equal to roughly one piece of good gear in any given stat (except for HP/MP).

Nothing wrong with Galka BLU. High STR, high HP, low MP, low INT. As I recall, some spells are HP-based, like Radiant Breath, and in any case, all Blue Mages are restricted not by their max MP, but rather by their amount of MP recovery.

So a Galka BLU has solid physical spells, and a couple of really strong HP-based spells. The max MP is addressable via gear (not that BLU actually need much), and there's not much else you can do about the MP flow aside from equipping spells to trigger Auto-Refresh and wear a Vermillion Cloak, which all races can do. Other than that, you're dependent on MP recovered from other players, such as from Bards/Red Mages/Corsairs, and again these effects treat all races equally. I seriously doubt you'd see much difference between a Hume BLU and a Galka BLU since neither one can cast any more spells over time than the other, aside from the MP sources I listed above.
