Don't be a Half-Elf druid. We have to work way harder for our mana pool [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. AFAIK myself and Deano are the only 2 60 HE Druids on the server, and we both have about 200-300 less mana vs a comparably geared 60.

And we don't really have any benefit over the other races in terms of other stats.

This is just wrong on so many levels...

The Half-Elf has only three flaws:
1. their leather hat graphic is rather ugly.
2. their chain hat graphic redefines ugly in a way that is so special that a single forum post cannot possibly do it justice.
3. they are allowed to be Bards
There is an easy work-around for the first two, and they can even be twisted into something of a virtue when putting together a fashion victim ensemble to rival that of any troll. The third item cannot be blamed on Half-Elves, as it is clearly the worst of the myriad flaws to be found in their progenitors and it is neither right nor just to blame a child for the horribly defective inheritance foisted upon them.

Beyond those three aforementioned blemishes on the Half-Elf's near-perfection, the rest is pure gold. No other race is half as good looking as the Half-Elf, and the awe-inspiring gleaming bell-bottom effect of the plate wearing Half-Elf female is a reward without parallel for those twisted pseudo-furry mangina types amongst us.

Someday, very soon I hope, the Fine Plate dyes will find their way onto this lovely server and we shall be once again treated to the ultimate classic EQ fashion statement: the whip-wielding female Half-Elf Warrior decked out in black plate from head to toe :swoon:

Also, seriously, worrying about the depth of your mana pool at L60 is 99.99987% e-peen worship. It ain't the size of the prize baby, it's the motion of the ocean.
