Asura or Human
Human if you care about cosmetics
Asura if you never want to be tempted to grind a legendary or armor skins.
Asura if you want to be badpuppy, human if you don’t want to be badpuppy.
Human females run like they have a stick up their hiney for some reason.
You have been warned.

I find the animations for Asura are really smooth. I also really enjoy the male’s voice, and the Asura’s culture/story feels unique.
However, Humans are definitely better if you want to do anything cosmetic related. While you can get into cosmetic gear as an Asura, you’ll never really get to show it off (small size).
Male and Female Asura have the same armor. You can look at lategame armor for both races and genders here.
