Pros and Cons to Playing Each Race in Guild Wars 2
• In body lengths per second, you’re the fastest race in Tyria, able to keep up with a Charr.
• You’re very small, and hard for a larger person to see as you stab their ankles.
• Everyone else thinks you’re adorable.
• Your starting area is full of intellectual challenges, which is pretty fun.
• That whole “asuran supremacy” thing is a little worrisome.
• If you’re not an academic type, it’ll be a lot less fun.
• You have to worry about your progeny being stepped on by a Norn
• The leading cause of death in your city is falling off the side.
• You GLOW in the DARK, how cool is that??
• When you say you’re asexual and someone asks “Like a plant?” you can say “Yes, exactly!”
• Your starting area is beautiful. Seriously beautiful.
• You’re flammable. Elementalists, please be careful.
• You were literally born yesterday. You have no life experience. A human your size is almost as old as your entire species.
• The bridges in your city have holes in them. And you thought Rata Sum was bad!
• You can run on all fours and literally pounce on things!
• You’re definitely the fluffiest race in Tyria, and you’re ALSO the most intimidating.
• Along with the Asura, you’re the technological domineers of the entire world.
• Everyone thinks you’re a furry (though maybe this is a pro?)
• You feel kind of slow and awkward. Why are those Asura so zippy?
• Everyone has to fight in a war. Like everyone.
• You can shapeshift. You can turn into your guardian spirit. You can become some kind of weird were-bird while the cat people look on in awe.
• You’re super tall. You can reach things that are higher than other people’s houses.
• You don’t get cold very easily. The winter winds are yours to command. Ice skills come easier to Norn elementalists than they do to anyone else.
• Everyone will want you to grab things off of shelves for them
• You have to worry about stepping on Asura progeny
• Alcoholism is kind of a problem in your culture
• You’re hardy and strong. You’ve pushed and been pushed back, but humans still have a large presence in Tyria, which you owe to the dedication and hard work of your people
• You have six whole gods! That’s more gods than anyone else!
• You’re descended from literal aliens. That’s so cool!
• The Charr kind of still hate you.
• Humans are hardy, sure, but a lot of nations have fallen and you’re kind of in a bad spot at the moment.
• If you’re not Krytan, there’s like a 90% chance you’re a refugee that had to flee your homeland… that’s pretty unfortunate.
