Racial stats suggestion

[Zumi]

One thing that has been bugging me about the game is racial stats. You see I play main Paladin and sometimes monk. Now the Xaela tribe has 6 more str and 3 more vit then Raen. Basically I am at a disadvantage because i am losing out on those 6 str which is the equivalent of having a un-upgraded piece of gear that you can't upgrade. Like I have a 200 ring that I can never get to 210.

The reason I play Raen is because I like the way they look, I like the white scales much more then the blue/black ones. However playing this race/tribe combo puts me at a disadvantage that I can never over come. Xaela will always have a higher max dps over me on tanks and melee dps jobs.

What I would suggest is tie the starting stats to something that doesn't effect how you look like guardian. For example Halon could give you the best str/vit combo. If starting stats were tied to guardian then you could look however you want without being at a disadvantage.
