Hi guys,

I have finally settled on the idea of really mastering Engineer as my main class as I just love the absolutely versatility and actions per minute / active playstyle.

I am now wondering what race looks the best animations wise and armor / outfits wise?

I was considering asura but going for a legendary seems like a waste and they are so small that for a pve main I will regret it I guess as it won’t show off an outfit properly..

I heard charr has clipping issues so that would leave me with human or norn (prefer human in that case cause Norn too big and I like jumping puzzles).

Would appreciate the input of all your engineer mains though!

Norn male have actually more clipping to spaulders than charrs (well basically spaulders armor float on they shoulders) It’s a pity i love the concept of a norn becomming engineer.
Basically every race except asura is good. Charrs are the ones who created engineering with the iron legion, and they are the betters engineers of all tyria. Others races, less advanced technologically like human, sylvari or norn are just using pact technology (which is majoritarly charr enhanced by asura) and are becomming engineers. Asuras are savants, and they excel in enhancing technologies that exist of creating things, even if this don’t have much utility and engineer is based on battle engineering, pragmatical use of technology (charrs create it for war). So Asura don’t really fits great being engineer coz they actually use a engineery that is less advanced than them but they haven’t really technology for battle use (except golems or rays) so they are in some weird position. Personnaly i think charr, norn, human or sylvari fit better with engineering than asura.

Hmm oke pure animations wise (pistol, throwing nades etc), which one looks best (is a bit subjective though I know). I was considering Charr or Human as my main but I’m afraid charr armor kinda sucks :X

hum. I’m a fan of charrs but for medium armor it could be a bit difficult to wear them. If you look at armor choice you would love better norn, human or sylvari. Animation wise sylvari and human have the same. Norn are a bit odd coz of how tall they are.

Hmm yeah, I tried asura and find them too thin when running around with flamethrower. So my choice is mainly Charr (Engineer race seems best fitting but afraid of bad looking armor / outfits) or Human Female (anything works)

If you want more choices of armor go human. And you can go male too. Human male or female don’t have problems of armors at all. And actually 70% of human population are actually females practically naked… I don’t want to say anything but well…
For exemple, i find it’s a bit difficult to find an armor that have a “engineer” vibe on charrs, the fact that they are hunchback make a lot of armors looks differents. I you want better armor choice and looking go human. If you want BG go charrs, but you may have difficulties for find a good looking medium armor (at least that have an engineer vibe)

Hmm oke yeah no I just want my main to have great animations for pve and to be able to customise later on as I will be playing Engineer only in pve so you know I want it to mainly look and feel good

Have you by any means a clip on youtube of charr gameplay with nades?

Charr feel slow but I do like the idea of Charr engineer
