I am new and I have now seen how awesome Asura look in combat – which profession has the funniest or best animations? I’d love to try Asura and they make me laugh.
For example, I saw a warrior use his two handed sword – the fact that they carry it over their shoulder and then flip in the air when they attack cracked me up. I saw an Asura Guardian hover in the air using sword/shield while sending waves of light at their opponent.
Lost of animations are just like the other races (pistol, rifle). Are there any Elementalist, Mesmer, etc. animations that just make you smile?
Thanks for the advice to help me pick the Asura profession with the best combat humor. I am a data analyst – I need all the humor I can get

Actually their animations for even basic weapons are not the same as other races, it just appears that way from a distance. If you zoom in with your camera on their face, you will see that they are making all kinds of crazy facial expressions.

1) Engineer’s Poisin Dart Volley. While it channels, the Asuran’s face quickly becomes crazed and fevered. It’s surprising, a little violent and very cute.
2) Engineer’s Regenerating Mist. The Asuran assumes a gladiatorial pose, belting into the sky and bares its little dinosaur teeth.
Ele Dagger Air 1 is pretty funny- you flail around like nobody’s business.
Ele dagger earth 4 is really funny too- you do this little front flip and pretend like pounding the ground will actually do something.
Thief D/D 3 is pretty hilarious too especially since you don’t make the full jump over most mobs.
Melee weapons will provide the most movement and likely the most amusement, but IMO the best animations aren’t from weapons. I love the general movement (walk, run, stop, jump, dodge).
Many of the weapon animations are reused between different professions, for example mesmer’s blurred frenzy and guardians zealot’s defense have the same physical movement with different particle SFX. Among the funniest/coolest are hundred blades (warrior) and death blossom (thief).

Turns out my elementalist has an incredible talented for winter-sports, she doesn’t even need skis or a snowboard to preform her tricks!
She seems terrified about her magical skills tho! XD
Not necissarily a combat animation, or even a single animation, but tapping left and right strafe keys while having heavy weapons or kits equipped produces a funny little dance animation for Asura’s. If you time it just right it looks like a single fluid dance animation.
Surprised this isn’t mentioned, but my personal favorite, and funniest animation IMO is when asuras sidestep with a staff drawn and stops. They look like little sumo wrestlers!
Another one I like is the walking animations with one handed weapons drawn. They waddle like penguins xD
Edit: They aren’t class specific, but something to keep in mind what weapons you use :P
