Hume Ninja = Doable???

Yes my sentiments exactly. In most other games, the non human races excel at one thing but suck at another. While humans although they dont excel at anything usually gain skills or stuff faster. I wish FFXI took the same approach. I mean compare humes and mithra. Mithra are just as good as humes only better, same with elvaan. All non hume races have an advantage, while humes have none. IMO that makes humes disadvataged =P

You know that balance is itself an advantage? Being average isn't a BAD thing, if you don't suck at anything as well.

And Elvaan and Mithra aren't just as good only better. Ever looked at an Elvaan's ability to evade (or to a lesser extent, their MP)? Ever looked at a Mithra's CHR? Granted, for some jobs these will not come into play (Elvaan DRKs, Mithra RNGs), but for others, the hume "averageness" is a distinct advantage.

Especially for the aforementioned ability to switch jobs on the fly and not suck at them. If I want to level WHM up as a Galka, to use it as a sub? It's going to be a bit more difficult road than if I were a hume, since a hume can switch over more or less without missing a beat.

1+7+1 and 3+3+3 both come out to 9, after all.

Hehe, I was in a party full of Elvaans last night ((im a hume)) and we were having a big argument on Humes VS Elvaan. It was funny, Humes have more AGI, DEX, and MP ((not sure about INT)) than Elvaans while elvaans have more VIT, MND, and HP. As for Mithra, Humes have more CHR, MND, and more VIT ((They have more INT too, I think)).

Regardless... I agree with Arnda, 1+7+1 and 3+3+3 both equal 9.

I believe humes also have more str than mithra although I think it's like vit, difference is barely noticeable until higher levels with it still not a big deal at all.

And by the way, hume ninjas definitely look the coolest in my opinion, no contest. And mithra being cool too and taru the msot surprising. Try making an elvaan ninja or thief look good, their long necks ruin it. Elvaan's both stats and looks belong in heavy armor to cover up their huge necks. There is a reason the drk AF has that neck or body piece cover around the neck...

I'm getting really tired at struggling to keep a taru melee alive. I've seen this when we let someone trick off of the taru rdm that was one level higher than I, hurt fiarly bad for a crucial 7 seconds.

I on the other hand am a hume, more vit and HP. Our thief happily tricks off of me. I'll deal with it.

Keeping a taru melee alive in CN can be a real hassle unless you have whm or blm sub. I don't know why tarus have melee envy but they do. Maybe they think it looks cool, please think of what a magic caster has to do before you do something like that. Taru rng isn't even touched very much, it should be. You have the stats for it and you won't pull much agro until you kill the thing with your bow WS.

Dispell on the Crawler.... heal the taru before death... dispell.... taru... hmm.

Sorry. Quick rant.
