Galka WHM playable?

[Fubaha]

I've heard that Galka whm is worst thing in Vanadiel. They have really crap MP.I am sure Galka cannot compare with Taru. But, I've seen some high galka whm on my server.

So, Does Galka whm work "effectively" with appropriate gear?
Can they do a main heal job really well ? or they can just be a second healer in PT?

At least some Galka War or Bst have whm lv 35 sub, how can they do that ?

Any race can be any class, don't let people tell you that you can't be something. Galka WHM would be hard, and you may not get the same number of PT calls, but its possible. I've seen a few good Galka whms before, remember this game is about having fun. If you wanna be a Galka whm, go ahead!

Re Galka WHM

I agree with Shiyume You do whatever you want! Of course it's a big chalenge, but I think galka ISNT so bad.. cause they have a great defense stats, also good attack power. If you run out of MP, it's easier to defend yourself dont you think so? :spin:
look at me, I'll be an Elvaan White Mage, even if they are "Suppose" to be warrior. However, if you try it, tell me more about your personnal experience ^-^

I planning to make a Galka WHM, but it's low mp seems to make my character useless. Im at lvl 3 right now, and I can only cast 2 cure and heal only 8 hp each.

I understand the concept of fun (who doesn't?) but eventually you reach a point where you realize you're not fulfilling your character's potential, you're unable to kill the things you want, unable to cast the spells you need, and no one wants to PT with you. Being the most useless character on the server is not fun, its frustrating.

Someone please tell me this aint true. Galka are fun to play as, and I dont want to be a warrior.

With the appropriate equipment and play tactics, pretty much anything is playable, but Galka WHM are probably the worst combination you can pick. I like to classify job/race combinations in 3 broad categories: Easy, Medium, and Challenging.

Easy job/race combinations (Taru WHM, Galka PLD, etc. etc.) are always playable at any level.

Medium job/race combinations (Elvaan WHM, Galka THF etc.) are playable at most any level, but you have to work a lot harder to make them as effective as a "easy" combination, and you generally start struggling around level 45 or so for most of the mediocre combinations (this seems to be the level when things start getting so hard that you really have to watch what you're doing to make things work effectively).

Challenging job/race combinations (Galka WHM, Galka BLM, Taru DRK, etc.) start suffering around level 25, when the lack of prime requirements for the job really starts to hurt you. For instance, a Galka WHM at level 25 does not have the 150 MP required to cast Raise without using +MP equipment. The problem does not get much better with higher levels. Specialized equipment like Race Specific Equipment can help you make up some of the lost ground against a "easy" combination character, but you'll never be as effective.
