1) That "almost anything can get perfect skill" only applies to post-LA with a skill upgrade. Furthermore, if we're dragging post-LA into this, the races that come out on top could still achieve 100% without a min/maxed subclass (As it stands now, they need to sub Kensei/Monk. However, post LA, anything with 20%+ skill will work, they don't need 40%) My point is, it takes work to LA in the first place and it really shouldn't simply be the norm for a debate. State it after the fact (Like I did about Zerans and will) but don't present it as the base argument.
2) You doubt anyone would rage? You SEVERELY overestimate this community's maturity. Bodyguard is facing a nerf because it allows someone to take less damage while their health is already low enough to die in one or two more hits anyways. Think about that for one minute. It lets you survive 1-3 more hits, tops (not counting multi hit guns.) So... the ability to come back with 30+% of your max HP simply for being over 60% FP (which, for the record, very few classes burn FP fast enough to manage to drop below in a single PVP battle, meaning almost every phenex would be guaranteed one revival per PVP battle) WOULDN'T upset people? I mean, a CM'd spell can still punch through a bodyguard decently well, if they weren't at high HP in the first place. But a near-guaranteed revival would let a phenex survive even a CM'd Invocation while already HP critical. Do you REALLY believe people wouldn't shriek and rage from the butthurt? I bet if it was implemented, there'd be a thread about it within FIVE MINUTES.
But hey. I get it. People care more about racials than stats these days. Which honestly, should be a good thing; I myself only got into min/maxing because of my shit luck, and often wish I could simply combine classes whose skills synrgize well. So I'll ease off on my stat arguments unless it's critically relevant (such as someone trying to nerf wraithguard since a Ghost has shit growths and is the only thing that can reliably proc it) I'll also compile a list of my own racial suggestions I feel is fair and diverse to all stats; things scaling with level instead of stats, etc, so everyone within a race can use them equally well.
