Westenev.5289 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Racial abilities have been nerfed into non-existance meme status. Just pick whatever race you find aesthetically pleasing - although I do hear Norn and Charr players often have trouble doing JP's due to their size...

Ben K.6238 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 There are no racial skills that should be on a warrior's bar, so anything goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aspirine.6852 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 No doubt a Norn of course. Bigger and stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarlonniel.6534 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Asura, for the comedy factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trise.2865 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Mechanically: It doesn't matter. All Warriors are the same, whether they be tiny Asura or mighty Norn. What race you choose is almost entirely for flavor.Lore-wise: Certain races are more likely to flex martial muscle and become Warriors, specifically the Norn and Charr. Humans and Sylvari tend toward professions balanced between martial and magical skills (i.e. Guardian, Ranger, Mesmer), and Asura usually prefer magic (and Engineers) over physical prowess.

Cyninja.2954 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Basically the race which animations, lore, voice acting and look you enjoy the most.Racial skills provide no benefit and in those 2-3 past situations where players did find some benefit (every time miniscule) Arenanet was very fast in "adjusting" the racial skill short notice. For example when condition damage warriors/rangers would take Sylvari for the elite skill Take Root on fights where their elite skills were all useless (for a net benefit of maybe 2-3k dps), the skills was nerfed shortly after into its now even more useless state.
