Guild Wars 2

-I currently have a 80 Ele Human and a 80 Ranger Slyvari

-I’m not sure between a Guardian or Warrior.

-Doesn’t have to be a guard or warrior though.

I would recommend playing a race that you haven’t already. So that leaves you with Norn, Asura and Charr.

It depends what aesthetic and story you want. Racial skills aren’t really important. Personally I love the asura aesthetic because it’s so different to others ones. Norn story is my personal favourite though- Wayfarer’s Foothills is also my favourite starter zone.

As for RP-ing, I always think Norns and Charr make awesome Guardians or Warriors (because they’re kind of feisty). But you don’t have to go with normal convention! I have an asuran guardian and I love him to bits.

Well from what u now have itll be quite different playing a guard or warr. This is purely subjective but if u want something “easy” go guardian, the other route with warrior. Not saying warrior is hard, but it takes some more aiming and coordination than guard does. Warr deals more dmg and have condis, while guard has less dmg but more boons.

Norn Guardian
Charr Warrior
Norn Necro
Human Mesmer
Asura Engineer
Human Thief

Just a thought.

Asura guardian + banish x = win.
x guardian + banish Asura = win

Asura heavies are cool. Banish (guardian skill) is cool [You send an enemy flying 750m, inefficient but hilarious]. The choice is clear =P
Sylvari necro’s have the best quotes so when you get to necro, I recommend sylvari male.

I’d highly recommend check out the aesthetics for each race/class using sites like
either dulfy or argos soft. That can really influence which race/class combo you choose.

As said above racial skills make almost zero difference in any class at least end game. There are a few skills that are useful for leveling. The personal story is quite different for each race and I ‘d highly recommend make one of each race just to experience at least the first 1/3 of the personal story line. I’d also recommend making at least 3 characters so during the 2/3 of the story line you can experience each of the 3 different factions you can join (Vigil, Whispers, Priory). This’ll also give you access to buying skins from all the factions for your wardrobe. The last 3rd is pretty similar regardless of race imo.

The final and probably least important aspect is jump puzzles. Each race has a different character box and jump style so getting used to that can be a challenge. Larger characters like Norn have the easiest time with jumping. Charr, while they have the same box size their jump is different and takes some getting used to.

Personal opinion I loved both the Charr and Norn storyline best. I loved the Norn and Sylvari starting area but the Sylvari were/are my least fav in terms of personal storyline. Human was good and I’ve got 2 human characters just to see the difference between the noble storyline and the gutter rat. I also have one Asura which was also interesting and I’m tempted to make another of the lil guys but I’ll need to purchase another character slot. LoL

Hope this kind of helps!
