I miss just as much on my mithra as I did on any elf. Back in 06-07 retail, two of the best PLD tanks were Taru. Playing your job correctly is more important than stats. My Taru whm was under-geared and I still healed better than a lot of people because of buffs/anticipation.

It's all how you play.


Of course, like I said, any race can role any job fine, I'm just saying that the racial stats are noticeable and sometimes quite significant (Galka / Elvaan MP and INT, especially).

And to be honest, Tarutaru make great MP-based tanks (PLD, RDM). Their HP in comparison to Galka is considerably different, but their MP pool makes them great for enmity generation, and good execution of defensive gear/ja will keep them alive. Oh, and of course, good support from party members.

Echoing what other people have said, I'd stick to 1 character. I wouldn't fancy going through missions two or three times.

If you are going to level two jobs, learn to dual box so you can do everything at the same time. Leveling a WHM and a PLD on my end, so I always have a tank and WHM in my party and I don't have to worry about finding the hard sought after jobs when I make a party.

Thanks Pepsi, yeah I read the rules prior and just wanted to make sure I was within the allowance of characters. I usually like playing one character at a time, on p1999 there is no boxing period (you'll get banned if caught doing it once) and I like that rule.

I have boxed a couple of times with Merek and Galvas in North Gustaberg fighting Quadavs, but prefer grouping when time comes to it. I don't even plan on logging in 3 accounts ever at once, even if it were to just have one craft in a city; it's generally not my thing. I like to focus on one toon at a time.

Thank you all for the wonderful advice, this is such a great community!
