Should I remake a class I have?
You could use a total makeover kit if you want to stay as a human. If you want to go norn, you will have to make a new character though. If your first human is a different class though you will have to remake it. There is no current way to change classes.
If you just want to change your warrior’s appearance, the total makeover kit is better than deleting and remaking.

In addition, you will have access to more faces, hair styles and hair colors than at character creation.
If you want to change to a Norn or other race, then yes, you will need to delete and remake.

If your level 38 character was made before April 14 so their traits are not locked then definitely do not delete that character to replace with a new one.
Do it again, level 38 isn’t a big deal.
Just to comment on my own personal experience with this. I deleted a LVL 63 Silvari Thief because I realized I simply do not like Silvari in general. My new Human Thief was up to 80 in less than a month.
Do I regret it? No (but I do wax nostalgic when ever images of that character pops up on my screensaver…..sigh).
Fate is just the weight of circumstances
That’s the way that lady luck dances
I decided I wanted a Norn necro instead of my Sylvari necro because of the cool face masks the Norn have. I kept my level 80 Sylvari, made her a mule, and made a Norn instead. It didn’t take that long to reach 80 again. A bit tedious going through all the low level zones again but worth in in the end. I get random strangers whispering me how good she looks. ^^
Level 38 isn’t much of a deal IMHO, I’d definitively remake it instead of using a total makeover kit, but it’s up to you. Some things to consider:
Total makeover kits are 350 gems, so it would be either $4.3 (note that you can’t buy less than $10 of gems) or roughly 45g. You get one for free every 5000 achievement points.
Note that you won’t be able to change race with total makeover kits, so if you have a human and want a norn, it won’t be an option, but you can make a bigger human.
Leveling a new character to level 38 is relatively easy, even more if you have other characters that are over a year old since you get a scroll to level up a character to level 20 on their birthday pack.
Total makeover kits will give you access to extra hairstyles, faces and colors not available to newly made characters. Check them here:

However, if your character was created before april 15th, you get granparented to the old traits system, if you create a new one will get the new one. Basically, that means that in the old system all traits are unlocked and you’re gree to pick them up the moment you get trait points. With the new system major traits need to be unlocked first. Unlocking a trait can mean anywhere from just doing a single event/boss to getting your personal story to an advanced level, do a zone completion or a specific dungeon, varies depending on which trait (you can also unlock them with money, but that can become expensive fast).
If you delete and create a new character any souldbound item your character has will be lost forever, though at level 38 chances are you don’t have anything that important yet. Also every item on the character’s inventory will also be lost when deleting it, and in most cases when it happens support will not replace any lost items that way, so before deleting be sure to go trough all your bags, salvage every non heart piece of gear you have, deposit all collectables and put anything you don’t want to lose in the bank before deleting.
