Race balance

[Tsukino_Kaji]

The whole point is moot anyway, since that are balance. If you wanted str, don't play the #5 race taru, play the #1 race elf. And if the debate was BLU-centric, you're a freakin' taru! You have the highest int in the game!

Well there is definitely a large strength difference between the races as its common for me to see an Elvaan Pup out-DPSing a taru mnk.

Or us hume BSTs out WSing the elf WARs. ^^

Don't you be hatin' on my 99 Mithra dex!

Seriously though, races are different for a reason.

Sounds more like a gear/playstyle issue than race, not saying Taru isn't behind being a damage dealer in the strictest sense due to lower Str, but without further information I'm going to have to call exaggeration because the difference isn't large enough to be a complete landside if gear/merits/performance is the same.

Ture, but your argument hit the wrong direction since all the races have the same access to the gear and merits leaving the same discrepency int he end.
Realy it's not an issue that tarus have negative str, because they have possitives in other traits.

Meant a well geared pup should beat a full pink mnk who doesn't gearswap, hence I said without more information he's over exaggerating the reason the elvaan is beating the taru, since he made it sound like a race issue. I could be wrong.
The main issue I have with being taru is the horrible hp stat but meh, free mp instead. Some more +HP gear wouldn't hurt but I think the available pieces are good enough.

[Tsukino_Kaji]

Get a cassie. lol

[Neisan_Quetz]

Rdm mindset, looking for HP pieces that don't lower mp, otherwise yes it's a good option.

I know there is disadvantage and advantage of race but I think str and HP have way more impact then int and mp gives.

What? I think you have that backwards.
