      Don't forget Elvaan secret ability. Blind as a bat and needs to od on accuracy equipment.
      Just do it.

        Yea, I can't hit jack unless I've got my gear that totals to +14 DEX and +3 acc at level 45.

        Elvaan look the coolest in any type of armor, and who are we trying to kid? It's all about the Iron Musketeer's armor! Humes and Galkas get some rounded out armor while Elvaans get some spikes on the helmets and a much sharper look.

        Elvaans are always going to look cool, humes are the same ole' same 'ole of RPGs. A control to base the other classes against.

            Oh my.

            That's the most hideous thing I've ever seen.

            Please do not post any more pictures of elvaan in diape...er, subligar.

              1) the program doesnt cover up elvaan ears like the game does

              2) put any male character model in that armor and they'll look like a douche(sp?) bag too =)

              and to stay on topic, from the discussions the higher level members in my linkshell have had (ranging from 65-75) it seems that the racial difference in dex doesnt really matter much later on, the galka and elvaan meleers dont hit very much less often than humes or mithras, but they do hit harder.

              A hume or mithra could say they will compensate this with +atk and +str gear but the thing is most jobs/races tend to use the same gear in the end; everyone uses sniper rings or high +dex rings when they cant hit so well, and str rings when they can hit.

              If you can wear a haubergeon/hauberk/scorpion harness and afford to buy one, you're gonna be wearing it, and so will any other race of the same job.

              Anyhow, if I were choosing between hume and elvaan, I would pick elvaan; our stats are nice for tanking and damage dealing. The accuracy is a bit more problematic early on I guess, I really didnt have too many problems as a warrior after I was through soloing up to 10.

              Later on when more +acc gear becomes available, the real difference in who hits more is how big their wallet is =), and no, elvaans do not have to necessarily bust more bank than other races for acc, every meleer is a whore for acc gear, except for thieves I guess, since dex is one of their prime stats.

              What you have to consider is the weapon you weild as well, every point of weapon skill is equal to 1 atk and 1 acc (I'm pretty sure on the atk, psotive on the acc), so if you use an A or B rank weapon for your job and keep it skilled up, the higher level you get, the more accuracy youre gonna be getting from that, and the less that maybe ~5 accuracy from lower base dex is going to affect you. Past level 59 or 60 the amount of skill difference between rankings becomes a lot greater since the +/- begins to count as well.

              Anyhow that's just my two cents, I would pick elvaan or galka for any melee job except thief.

                that's the funniest cotdamn I've seen on this forum in a while, and I'm elvaan.

                I'm talking "get in trouble at work because you randomly started laughing out loud so hard you thought you were gonna piss your pants" funny.

                  Little bit of an exaggeration



                  Personally I'd go for pure aesthetics, choose whichever you like the look of, there's no huge difference that can't be made up by equips.


                  Saying that, the more I see Galka's, the more I'd wished I'd rolled one
