I pick asura as the race for my thief assuming all races share same skill animation but it turns out that the other four races got the same thief-like shadowstep kind of dodge and Leap of Death Blossom animation while asura thief is freaking ROLLING? And the medium armor COAT covers the hip-positioned weapons extremely more on asura model, not to mention the facts: 1. thief hood can’t cover ears which doesn’t make any sense at all; 2. why will two of asura’s toes be outside the boot; 3. coat look disgusting on short people and there is NO MEDIUM SHIRT in the game. I wish I didn’t pick asura as the race for my thief but unfortunately by the time I notice other races’ animation I am already lvl 80 with 85% world map completion(93% now). Arena.net why do you have to do this to asura thief only?

I can answer the two toes things, it turns out that the covered toe is the one that’s super sensitive. Underground the Asura use that toe to read what’s going on in the environment.

Above ground the information they get is all kinds of wrong, so, as a thief, covering that toe protects them more than exposing and getting their read wrong on what’s occurring nearby.

Or it could be a stylistic choice.
