Can't Decide, Asura or Human!
Human! I just started a human elementalist, and it’s awesome.
I would like to note, my ele will be male.
My personal preference is Human. I can’t stand how Asura looks, but their dodges are awesome.
Human. The voiceover for male human is nice and not annoying. It fits nicely for a noble, fine looking gentleman.
later. It doesn’t care that I’m there.”
Asura! Witty, sarcastic and dodges like nobody’s business. What else would you want in an elementalist?
Look at the racials. Human racials sorta suck, Asura racials suck less. Asura are harder to click target in pvp and harder to track(not much of a boon, but hey). Human armor sets have better detail due to size. Asura one liners are much better. Asura story line is better till convergence. If you feel eccentric go Asura, feel normal go human.
Asura elementalist all the way. Male human elementalists can never get their armor looking good, and you feel so fast and maneuverable as an asura. Plus, our racial armor combined with other armor looks awesome:

What are you smoking? because i want that too.
Only remotely useful racial asura have is radiation field, and glyph of storms is a lot better than that.
I really really wish my asura could have the human elite reaper of grenth instead of the useless ele and asura elites.
But skills aside, asura is superior choice, because they are awesome and most importantly their dodges are awesome.

Human racial utilities are useless for eles, but the human racial elites are wicked.

dude, here, have a tip for life.
flip a coin, hide the result by your hand or drop it on the floor and don’t look at it. wait for 5 seconds. then you will start to feel what you truly hope for. if you don’t, then look at the coin, if you feel sad, pick the other side of the coin. if you still feel sad. then go with the original result or with both until you can make up your mind.
this is my method if i can’t decide and have solved basically every choice i’ve been indecisive in. and my hart/gut sometime speak a little bit stronger when rng decide the outcome.
I can’t tell what you want but i picked human because my main char in gw1 was my human ele ( all were human back then but i wanted at least my main as the same charachter) also humen is abit more about magic/faith than asuras they are more about tech ( some tech is around magic, sure, but you get my point)
but i must say techno babble is one of the most hilarious skills in the game.

If you are serious about WvW then Asura female small. If you arent then anything else is fine, even char.

The Racial Elite, Reaper of Grenth is actually quite effective for D/D Ele Zerg diving.
That said, I’ll go with the human as you need gear that you can actually see!

Doesn’t matter want race you pick as far as ‘abilities and power’ go.
So pick the one you like to look at or listen to, or both. I actually went with a Norn.
In WvW/PvP small is usually slightly better but not a big deal unless you want to move up the ladder in sPvP.
Asura is the superior choice in WvW for many of the reasons listed above.
For situational purposes in WvW, like choke points or lord rooms, Radiation field is borderline OP. Weakness and poison from the same field that stays up for 15s.
I saw the argument about glyph of storms being better, and I disagree. The sandstorm blindness will stop one out of every three attacks from someone while they are in it. If you opt for the ice storm instead, it isnt doing anything more than frozen ground really, the diff being the duration is 10s.
Yeah I mentioned staff for those circumstance even though I am primarily D/D because those are the correct times to actually use your staff.
Asura elementalist all the way. Male human elementalists can never get their armor looking good, and you feel so fast and maneuverable as an asura. Plus, our racial armor combined with other armor looks awesome:
Odeken, I only recognize the Tier 3 headgear. Any idea what the rest is? Looks awesome!

Hi Strang, what do you mean by their “dodges are awesome”?

Yep that’s a picture of my ele lol.
T3 headgear, arah shoulders/body, cof gloves, hotw legs, and shoes don’t matter cause you can’t really see them on asura anyway lol.
