So I was all excited when i heard in GW2 we could play as the Charr. They looked awesome in GW1 and I couldn’t wait.
Then the beta came and when I created my charr I was more than a little disaappointed. Somehow his stature wasn’t right.
On release I rolled Asura and leveled him to 80. Then I decided to try making another char, this time a Charr! Again I wasn’t happy exiting the creation. I completed the first story quest and went to get my GW1 skins from the HoM. Suddenly I was impressed, he looked good, real good. A mean tough fighting machine! Why I thought, then I realised: SHOULDERS!
Charr look awful without broad shoulders. Thank the eternal alchemy I played GW1 enough to be able to reskin the awful (for Charr atleast) low level armour.
Another thing that I don’t understand is why nearly all armour has either a long coat or a skirt? That doesn’t suit a character with a tail! Even the high lvl dungeon armour is the same
Even so I am now lvl 63 on him and loving every minute. Here’s a pic of my char looking awesome in Order of Whispers colours.
