Thread: Maybe even out racial stats in 4.0

Oh yeah, every tank should be a Seawolf Roe, just for the highest Vit and Str

The differnce in stats is so low, it doesn't really interfere with the gameplay unlike other games, not only MMORPGs, where the stat differences will get exponential with increasing level and some classes/jobs are not useable for a race cause of the stat differences...
I think here it is so less importent, if you are not for world first raid clears, that it won't have any influence on the race decision out of early game perhaps.

It's nice you can differ the more "educated and civil" races and clans from the "brute and uncivil" races and clans

I very much disagree with making stats even more different. I play my character because of how it looks not because of stats and it's good that way. All races need equal ability to perform all roles and making each race have specific stats would pretty much destroy everything.

I don't want to have to be an Elezen to play BRD. If I'm a lalafell, I don't want to be a Roe to tank.

@OP, the difference is sooo tiny it's not as big as you think. Think of it this way Zumi, VIT is 1 point of damage right?

-6/10 VIT = 60% damage loss
-6/100 VIT = 6% damage loss
-6/1,000 VIT = 0.006% damage loss

No need to worry about it : p

The racial stats barely mattered at lv50 (except Dunesfolk and BLM), and really don't matter now (especially at our ilv)

If anything, MORE differences are needed to make the choice more impactful. Glamour is a good difference right now, but with people calling for all glamour, hairstyles and emotes to be used by everyone...

More racial and gender exclusives, not less

That's a funny way of spelling Highlander, I admit :P
