I love everything about playing an Asura except for this. It feels like such a disadvantage compared to other classes. Since our face is closer to the ground, we see things from a much lower angle, but this makes for some annoying situations during the game.
Being an avid WvW player, the first 2 things that come to mind is that it is much more difficult to fight people up on walls, or even destroy siege on walls for that matter. Arrow cart angles can be trickier to nail down as well. Also, in large scale fights it’s much harder to tell what is going on, because if you have your camera in more of a first person angle…you just won’t see anything at all. And if you try a more top-down angle, it’s an unfair advantage compared to other races. You could take a max size Asura…and compare it to a minimum size Human/Sylvari, and regardless of them being very, very close to the same height, the Human and Sylvari have a much angles with their camera, especially top-down.
Liadri’s fight was also rather frustrating to do on my Asura, mostly thanks to the fact the camera was kitten even more due the dome design of the arena.
Though as a side note, if Arena Net ever added in a race change option, this post wouldn’t even exist and I’d just go do that. But I have way too much time and effort put into my character to just scrap it.
