Just to be clear before I start, I’m talking balanced stuff here. Not something everyone would pick, but something that some would because they like the class itself, or just the extra racial flair it gives.

Was just thinking that it would be nice to have some additional flavor to your racial choice. Possibly locked out of sPvP, or even possibly something you have the option to pick later in your character’s life and you switch to your starting class in sPvP.

You have some obvious ones like the Asuran Golemancer. Charr I’d think tank driver, or perhaps a heavy artillery/rocket launcher based class.
Humans maybe pilot one of those one man helicopters?
Hard to say for Norn and Sylvari simply because I’m not as familiar with their lore.
Perhaps a summoner class would fit with one? Single or dual summon, fills a very specific role (tank, damage, heal or CC).

These are things that NPCs already are, the Golemancer is a huge one lore wise.

It’s something I loved in RF Online. 3 warring factions. Same classes are shared between them, but then each race gets a unique one. (Mech driver, rocket launcher user, summoner)
I think the GW lore already has the groundwork done for it, would just be a matter of ironing out the idea.

What does the forum think?

Honestly i found your post a bit confusing. But i will consider about how i understood it.

Most likely , will never happen , simple because Anet said they wanted every race to be able to do anything.

Reason why we see some … strange combinations lore wise of race + class.

Personally i think it would create more problems than solve , even if not in SPvP , those classes would still ask for more balancing , even more actually since they are race specific, and people would go mad.
