Charr might be less common, as they have a low-key cultural bias against magic, but it's still all good. Humans and Asura may be more common, as they tend to be more strongly Magic-oriented. Make one of each race that you're thinking of playing and then compare their looks to each other. They are fancy and unpredictable. You'd think that someone so small couldn't be dangerous. But it's wrong. In time, everyone will bow before the mighty Asura, bwahaha!
EDIT: Well, only quaggans could be better than asura, but they are, sadly, unplayble. Gotta live with it, i guess. As a member of the college of synergetics and creator of the infinity ball, dedicated to the understanding of time and space within the concept of the eternal alchemy and metamagical frameworks, I assert that while humans may have tradition and history associated with the mesmer arts their understanding is rudimentary, and that asura, particularly of the college of synergetics have far greater affinity with metaphysical matters of the mind that no bookah other than the alien entity the humans call "Lyssa" could hope to comprehend.
Arshay Duskbrow. It really is a lore thing. I haven't heard of any major Mesmer that belongs to other races. They exist but they're not as common as humans lore wise. Lyssa also is celebrated among the human gods but they do have a god that represents each proffesion. Just make 5 mesmers. If you plan to pvp on it, make an asura first, to learn to play, then when you are experienced make a charr to have a challenge. I would say asura, unless you're using greatsword.
They don't do that cool 'levitating sword' animation during the autoattack that other races do. Cancel X. Topic Archived Page 1 of 2 Last.

Charr mesmers with the greatsword animation is pretty cool I myself play a Male Human Mesmer with Cultural T2 Light love that armour for males , but Human T3 Cultural light female looks good on any of the scholar professions. I think I'm leaning toward Charr and Sylvari, the former for the greatsword animation, and the latter since I really like Sylvari and they tend to have really cool armor.
Human always seems like a cop-out in a fantasy world, and Norn are giant humans. Nothing wrong with that, but still, not really User Info: Draginvry. Charr That greatsword animation is beastly! Mesmers have a lot of animations in their attacks that use weapons as gestures instead of strikes.
This is certainly true for the sword and axe. Both of which use blurred fluttering animations when attacking — axes in particular also have attack types that throw the caster forward or pull them into a spinning motion. This becomes especially revealed for Mirage specialized Mesmers using the axe.
Elementalists get to wield the raw powers of nature — Fire, Air, Earth, and Water — and as such, they also get a broad opportunity to use all sorts of different effects for the weapons that they carry.
Some animations do look a lot more interesting than others, but the Weaver specialization ends up looking the best. By coupling attacks and switching elements, Weavers twirl and pirouette around their enemy — leaping and withdrawing with ease.
The Asura are an interesting race in GW2, in particular, they are the tiny, diminutive race. This puts them on the same level as gnomes and dwarves from other Fantasy settings. Their tiny size is also part of what makes their animations so interesting. For Necromancers who take the Reaper specialization the greatsword is unlocked as a weapon type. When not wielding their greatsword, but with it drawn, Asura will run with it over their shoulder.
This can even be seen with certain mining tool animations and when carving pumpkins on Halloween. Skip to main content. Level up. Earn rewards. Your XP: 0. Updated: 05 Nov pm. BY: Kyt Dotson.

Some people love playing as charr mesmers. Posted by: Silverkey. Well I guess being an asura is always a good strategy in PvP.
