Asura Warriors?
Asura warriors with greatswords. The way they carry the swords, barely able to balance the weapon on their shoulder without falling over. Awesome animation.
My toon showing how to use a greatsword:

Lol. That video was enough to inspire me to roll an Asura war if for no other reason than to offset my Norn war. Sort of a balance the universe sort of thing.
Asura Warriors are the best warriors. Brains and brawn. Fact.
In addition, I think our racial skills line up really well with melee combat, giving us significant defense (Pain Inverter) and strong AoE abilities (Radiation Field).
If I ever use it, I don’t call it “Hundred Blades”, I call it a “Yoda”. Same thing with my Line of Warding on my guardian. I don’t say “line of warding” or whatever else. I say I’m “gandalfing”…
“YOU SHALL NOT PASS!” – This is entirely hilarious in WvW. People running into it and falling down.
The other day I actually was using a greatsword in WvW and found another asura warrior. We both used Bull’s Charge at the same time, headbutting each other and both of us falling back. Same thinking, we both stand up immediately and begin to Yoda each other. Was hilarious.
I made this into a couple GIFs actually, though I actually don’t use the greatsword much. I use a hammer, longbow, sword/shield, axe/shield, and dual axes. Have a good one.

I made my 2nd Warrior last night. It was everything that my 1st Warrior wasn’t. Going from a Charr Axe/Warhorn AoE buff build to an Asura Hammer area control build was a real switch. Especially since the Charr was max size and the Asura was minimum size. However I’m finding that I just love my Asura. Watching her sweet little face as I ninja leap into melee and jumping to hit people in the face is just priceless.
I love running about with the hammer over my shoulder barely managing to stay upright then thwakking something over the head in a very loony toons mallet style
