So I'm a Galka...

I only play PUP, and I'm starting to think about gearing another job to join all the not so flexible Asura shout groups. I started doing RUN and I am kind of appalled about how not sexy Galka is in RUN af/relic/empy.

This got me thinking. What races look best playing what jobs? Does this factor into the jobs that people play?

Post what race-job combo you think and what armor set looks pretty sweet (af/relic/empy/weapon/abj/etc)

Taru-
COR that relic looks pretty sweet with a mini toy gun
BST Having a pet 3 times bigger than you is pretty funny

Elvaan-
Anything greatsword looks pretty cool

Galka-
Mnk - the only time we dont look fat

Elvaan Sam looks good... Heck, elvaan as any DD or tank is going to do really well. Good base VIT stat, solid STR stat. My only problem as an elvaan is accuracy/DEX stats, and those are easy to cover if you know how to gear properly.

Stats are the same for every race.

Was not always the case. It's probably still ingrained in a lot of players that some races are inherently better at certain jobs.

That said...
Elvaan - make the best DD or RDM
Galka - make the best DRK or PLD
Mithra - make the best THF or RNG
Taru - make the best mages
Hume - are mediocre at everything

This has never been the case. They've brought the hp/mp closer together but even that still has a difference. Now makes less of an impact these days but still there. And before someone is like nuh uh looking at 2 equipment screens of different races on the same job with the same merits both naked as we speak

The stats are irrelevant to race because most(if not all?) jobs use multiple stats.

For example, Elvaan having high MND but low INT does not make it "best RDM" like the above poster said. Nor having high STR but low DEX make them best DDs. Since RDM uses INT and DD uses DEX.

Just wanna say that stats have nothing to do with what I was getting at with this post...

What race LOOKS good on what job. And what armor or weapon makes that so.

I'll throw another one out there-
Humes actually look pretty bad as in full Blu af
On the other hand galkas look like big blueberries

Wait, this was changed at some point?

Oh, I thought they were implying that the stat difference at level 1 was done away with.

Galka seriously only looks really good on Monk, Summoner, and maybe Beastmaster. Anything else they look like clowns, especially WHM, BLM, and Puppetmaster. Oh, and my favorite, purple Dragoon dinosaur.

This is for all you non-creative lockstyle Galkas out there. Your ***looks hideous.

signed-
a Galka

They only changed mp/hp because the disparity was so huge and even now there is still a decent difference

Stats at 99 and fully merited aren't all the same either. It's more that SE kept stat growth/gap in check, and I think actually narrowed the gap on stats for post-75 levels (along with the actual HP/MP additions).
So if you're looking at like, a level 60 WAR/SAM Elvaan vs Mithra and see (if ye olde calculator is right), 71STR 54DEX to 61STR 68DEX - the gap is a pretty big chunk of what you might be able to add in gear at that level. Whereas at 99 with full merits that's 114STR 101DEX to 106STR 112DEX, so not only less of a difference, but one utterly dwarfed by the stats ilevel gear will tack on.


But as to the original question, the answer is Mithra. Always.

They act all cool and use one arm to cast the rod, but have to use two to reel in any old moat carp.
