Guild Wars 2

I am starting my 5th ranger shortly and have a question bothering me a bit.

For Charr Rangers, please give me your opinions regarding playability, mobility, situational benefits, etc. of:

• Maximum Height
• Minimum Height

Forget about Jumping Puzzles. I have Asura and Sylvari for those.

I always go short no matter the race.

@Aerathnor,
Yes, I did that on my Human, Asura and Sylvari rangers.
Am wondering if there is any benefit to go Max height that I am not seeing.

Thanks.

FYI,
My new Norn ranger is midway between Max and Min Heights.
He seems so large and clutzy sometimes, but am getting used to him.
He is playing a full melee style and only lvl 42 atm.

I think you can still see further on tall characters, which would be useful in WvW. Useful might be the wrong word for the amount of benefit.

I’m not sure if the camera changes made all characters have the same max camera height though?

Fluffball,
Thanks. That is a good point (Seeing over tower walls and such).
Wonder how to test that (Any JQ or BG wanna play pew-pew fodder? Nah, didn’t think so. haha).

Yeah, the only time I ever experimented with a tall character was on a Norn mesmer for massive clones. Basically I wanted to clutter the enemy screen as much as possible.

Otherwise taller characters just feel slow to me. I know there is no difference in speed, but size relative to the ground moving past you makes it feel slow to me.

If you ever plan to activate Signet of the Wild with a Box of Chocolates and Party Box, you will regret not choosing to be HUGE!
