Maybe even out racial stats in 4.0

[ShanaShirayuki]

To a min maxer which I am the stats do matter. I done the math 1332 attack power Raen, 1336 Attack power Xaela. There is a 0.3% gain as a Xaela. I can not achieve my maximum possible dps for my job as long as I am a Raen. I already beat A12S several weeks ago but like every patch I go for bis gear. What it boils down to me is a choice between looking cute or being the best I can be stat wise. Personally I see very few Raen tanks out there that even do savage, could it be because of the stat difference?

The flavor text about the races when making a character really have nothing to do with the stats. Which is why I would like the stats to be even out. No matter how small a difference it may be it is still a difference.

If you were really worried about it, you would've made the switch to Xaela before the current raid tier or whenever you started raiding. The reason you don't see many Raen is because Au Ra isn't a very popular race as is. Besides, there are tons of Lala tanks who do Savage who are up there / better than many of those who play Highlanders or Sea Wolves; don't worry about it too much. Case in point, do you see many NINs who are Wildwoods?
