Go into the character creator of XIV and look at the stat differences between clans (if available)..it already exists in this game it's just the way stats work they really have nil impact on anything, much like in XI it had zero impact on anything but the absolute early levels (lower mp base = obviously less spell casting = less things dead) but once you hit around the cap (75, 76-99 the stat raises does very little for you) any racial difference is nil due to the gear options and merits. A taru blm can be just as shitty as a galka blm, the taru would have a higher MP base and therefore produce more shit whereas a good Galka BLM will have a smaller MP base but not suck.

I've seen better Galka mages than Taru mages due to the fact THE COMMUNITY are hardcoded to believe the tiniest of details matters when the game mechanics doesn't necessarily tell you 1 race will suck compared to another.



Or a player that never created a character in the past year.
No other race could beat a taru blm in dmg while wearing the same gear. Never seen any other race break damn near raw 4k freeze before the 75 cap was lifted. Also taru and mithra plds was pretty bad cause of lower hp pools. Most plds in XI was either Hume and Elf cause they had the best stats for it.
