Post subject:  Galka SMN viability
I'm looking into levelling some viable HNM/Endgame jobs, and as I'm a fan of pet-jobs Summoner sparked my interest.

When looking at a lot of lev 75-era guides it's frequently underlined that MP is an incredibly important stat. On my latest character I've rolled Galka however (tired of blowing up to AoE as a Taru in retail), which means I'll have a whopping 419 less MP compared to a Taru 75 Summoner.

Stats based on SMN/whm 75:
Code:
Level     HP      MP      STR     DEX     VIT     AGI     INT     MND     CHR
HUM 75    930     820     51      61      51      62      71      72      70
ELV 75    1051    744     60      58      56      54      63      81      70
TAR 75    704     1048    43      61      48      67      85      69      70
MIT 75    930     820     48      75      48      71      71      69      62
GAL 75    1202    629     56      61      65      59      68      72      62

When it comes to SMN endgame, how screwed am I as a Galka? Have I pigeonholed myself into a virtually unplayable race/job combination, or does the availability of -Perpetuation and sources of Refresh/Ballad make a Galka summoner still viable?
Will (competitative) endgame shells still invite this race/job combo?

If you used the same stat calculator I'm looking at at the time of this post, just know that those values are NOT 100% accurate.

With that said, any race and job combination works just fine here. Don't let the lower MP blind and/or stop you from wanting to be a mage on Galka. You'll find that the extra HP will end up saving you more in the long run than the extra MP would.

The only thing gating to SMN is having the MP upkeep to continuously use a BP whenever it's ready.

Stats were taken from: http://ffxi-stat-calc.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/ffxistats.cgi
Uncertain if these stats apply to Nasomi.
