Guild Wars 2

Anyone have opinions on which race makes a better Guardian between Norn and Charr?

I like the look of both, and although I’ve started on Charr, the movement animation and the look of helmets on their long heads are bothering me. My original plan was to use the Charr racial skills like Charrzooka and whatnot to get some ranged attacks when I wanted them. Are the Norn any better/worse off with their skills?

I know… I’m so vain.

I have a char guardian and I think he looks fantastic. Granted I didn’t make him look much like a guardian and the helms are lame on char. Obviously the dev team literally stretched out the helm to barely fit not caring what it looks like. I suggest if you go with your char save up for the cultural helms they look pretty good. My personal favorite and the one I’m currently wearing is the legion helm. Idk about the norn racials but the only racial worth anything to a char guardian is battle roar for the fury and might boons. Otherwise your actually class utility skills will be better for you.

Looking purely at racial abilities, Charr. By far.

go to LA trading post and find under styles the primeval armor set. That helm is preaty sweet for all races even charr.

I’m a Charr Guardian and I’ve used the Charrzooka once.

You’re going to end up using Renewed Focus more than not, so really, you ought to go with what looks asethetically more pleasing to you because you’re the one that’s going to be staring at him.
