Guild Wars 2

Im relativly new to the game and i want to make an Elementalist. However, I dont know which race to pick. I already have a lvl 7 Norn Elementalist but i choose the snow leopard animal when i created the character and it is for stealth i belive, does this make any difference? Should I create a new Norn elementalist with Raven blessing or try another race. I am a bit intressted in a Sylvari or maybe human Elementalist. Please let me know what you guys think and why, any answers are welcome! Thanks

If you want to play spvp – take asura and check pvp forums to know why. Otherwise take whatever race you like, racial differences are very minor.

Female norn>All in WvW. If they left Flamekissed armor alone, I literally would have rerolled my human ele.

If you want to play pvp, use asura. Nobody will be able to see what skills you are using.

I prefer charr, and all my characters have been charr because human is boring, norn is a plump human with decreased brain cells, sylvari are portrayed as perfect treehuggers who never do bad unless they turn 100% rotten, and asura I don’t know why, but I don’t like them either.

Asura and a few of the charr have the best personal stories. The others have generic “oh no, bad guys” stories.

If you play pvp alot, and are worried about becoming a major target, don’t use norn or charr.
Regardless, I use charr in pvp.

I don’t think choosing leopard actually makes a difference at all. It’s just there to provide you with the illusion of choice.
