I'd like to point out that a Zeran's stats are definitely being downplayed and a Vampire's racials are being upplayed.

Zerans are tied for the highest skill growth in the game, with Phenex, Raid Mechs, and Tannites. Out of all those high skill classes, Zerans are also tied for the 3rd highest will in the game. Alongside Raid Mechs. (The other two have less will.) And Zerans can definitely take a hit better than those raid mechs. As such, Zerans make the best Magic Gunners in the entire game. And let's face it; with the spirit hunter, there's been a MASSIVE influx of MGs lately. I'm sure the reason why is obvious.

Yes, a Zeran's racials suck. But their stats more than make up for it, IMO.

As for vamps? Only mages get any noteworthy use from Life Drain, which is good since they never want to use their essence due to the difficulty of landing banquet. And it's very very rare for Lunar Lunatism to actually be worth considering because it puts you back to 0 essence. A tankvamp might get some use out of Silvermists, but from my experiences with tanks, their accuracy tends to get crapped on, which, again, makes it hard to land banquet to replenish that essence. Honestly, their racials are more of a chore than anything else, really.


While I'm in favor of changing Zeran racials to not be literally useless (lol seeing FP) they don't need anything else other than changing that one thing to something else that's minor. Because ttatistically, they're actually kind of awesome. They can hit 100% Skill WITHOUT Legend Authoring, and 100% Will WITH it. I mean really. That's great.
