Human as an online race

[TyrIstKrieg]

I've planned to go WarTecher since I started. z0mFg, I'm a smart one.

Reasons to go human = You won't get as raped by TECHs as beast or cast.

I suppose there's alot of humans on the jp servers since they don't really seem to care as much about stats and stuff as we do. Anyone who knows if casts are rare on the JP server?

As far as overall usefullness in expert classes, here's how I rank the races:

Top-tier: Cast
Mid-tier:Beast
Low-Tier: Human/Newman

Although I feel casts are gifted to be able to choose most ex classes and stats that are above-average for them, doesn't mean humans shouldn't be used at all ,seriously. Nova, my female human servant is going to be a Fortegunner. Would a cast be much better? Yes. Do I care? No

Humans make good Wartechers, but everyone can be an effective wartecher. Newmans make good Fortetechers; Beasts make good Fortefighters. Everything else is CAST. Get over it and be what you want to.

Some are into stats & numbers, some into styles & looks, others is all about fun. To sum it up, it's a matter of preferences.
I think that's what makes it more diverse. It's a good thing. ;]

2) They have no advantages.

3) Replica weapons suck.

If you're going for statistics, humans just don't work. It's far better to have a focused race rather than a hybrid. This is really said for all classes. Wartecher would probably be the only class that would benefit decently from being human.

By "advantages" I meant that they have nothing they excel at. They have no high ATP, no high ATA, no high TP, no Nanoblast, no SUV, nothing. It's kind of boring, to me at least.

Oh, and what in the world are you smoking? Luck is not overrated.

respectfully disagree on that last point - Luck is so not overrated, especially for grinding. I'm basically scared to grind any weapon that I use with regularity, unless it's a luck 2 day, and I have +8 or better grinders.

back on topic, let's face it, there are some race combos that do not work very well. Female beast fortegunner comes to mind. Since the classes adjust things by %, even a large % of a small number, is still a pretty small number...


As far as Wartecher goes? I would not want to see the result of a male CAST wartecher...what a waste of potential!

Humans are great for all hybrid classes. Most of their bonuses are for those classes, CAST only get bonuses for being only forteGunners and nothing else ( I tested it since I have Hunter, Force, and Ranger to lvl 10 ). So Humans are not weak at all its just easy to overlook what they are good for. A good example would be the Human protrancer i saw the other day with a crea double, he was hitting with criticals very often.
