Guild Wars 2

I read different things regarding racials.
Are racials of much influence or not in pvp and pve?

I am a new player and I am still getting into the game, checking things out, figuring out how stuff works and such.

For my main I would like to pick either Asura, Sylvari or Human.
However I dont care much between these 3, so the one that has racials that are stronger for the profession would work out best.

For my alt I am open to all except Norn (I just dont like being huge and bulky).

Hoping to read some info that makes me understand how important or not important racials are in this game.

Racials are very niche skills and are generally not used at all. The only racial skill I can think of that I use on occasion is the norn Snow Leopard elite transformation, which includes a stealth skill. It’s very niche though and you can supplement it with harpy feather consumables if you need the stealth.

Thanks.

Good to hear.

So basically it is just a matter of pick the race you like animation wise the most for your class?
