I recently made an Asura Warrior and everything is going great… BUT… When using the Greatsword… I cannot be more disturbed ! I have seen other Races using the “Rush” skill and it looks natural.. but when it comes to the Asura rush skill… my jaw just drops… like what is even happening to the Asura when using it? It looks like a penguin running at full steam!

Please.. PLEASE.. This is bugging me(along with others, I’m sure) so bad.. Why can’t it be more of a natural movement ?!

I saw there was a previous thread about this, a year ago.. So I’m guessing nothing will happen to the animation.

I really hope I’m not the only one that thinks this!

Regards,
Rushing Penguin

Change your character’s name to Russian Penguin and call it a day.

Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful.

In my Opinion, Asuras playing as bulky melee classes like Guardian and Warrior look very weird… Its just odd to see that tiny little guy tanking and fighting enormous beasts.

Asuras can be Warriors simply because Anet didnt want to restrain the class possibilities to the races. (Like WOW did, though they’re pretty much stopped doing that)

But Asura warriors just arent meant to be as fitting both because the animations look a little odd thanks to how tiny they are, but also because lore-wise Asuras arent supposed to be warriors, but rather inventors, scientists and mages.

Anyway. my Warrior is a Charr, and I’m happy with the animations, Sorry to hear if you didnt like them on Asura…
If it bothers you so much, though, you can always change race, unless you really want to be an Asura for some reason

ALL my characters are Asura.. that’s why this hurts!

Russian Penguin.. haha

But animation wise, it just doesn’t make any sense… literally wobbling like a penguin when the skill is used.. Just a really lazy animation job.

After all the custom animation they had to do for that race, I say cut them some slack. Just assume that it is a by-product of the potions or power armor to get them to be able to be a working heavy profession in the first place.

Yeah, slack was given in the process for sure.

It’s the ONLY complaint I have had for this brilliant game! The one thing I have found that bugs me, and I guess only me.

Just got to suck it up I suppose and dress my character like a Penguin.

I agree with this but as a magic user race you could say they could at least be Guardians, since Guardian use magic you could say Asura would be more than able to come with spells to improve strength and toughness has come with magic “gadgets” to overcome their disavantages. This clearly isn’t shown but lore wise could be an answer to why Asura Warriors (with the “gadgets”) and Guardian can work.

And lore wise you have Warrior Asuras, one of the commanders of the Vigil is a female Asura, their superior intelligence could be used to come up with superior strategies and with that superior intelligence you could also say they would be the very first among all races to master martial arts.

Idk I like the Asura and I’ve been sad about not having my main has one (Guardian) for a long time :/ but this is just to say that I agree that they look like Inventors and magic casters but has a race they could work still has the other classes

That sounds like it sucks, but you have some of the coolest Tier 3 Cultural Heavy Armor (behind Norn), so it’s not so bad. Really.

I think ugly animations fit the race perfectly well.

Hmm my main is actually an asura warrior (almost 2.5k hours on that char).
I absolutely love the animations especially hundred blades and while i agree that rush looks a bit weird it never bothered me as much cause at the end of the day the skill itself is (even now) buggy and annoying to begin with.

Cyclone axe is also buggy if you move while casting (and necro axe AA as well) but (for me) those are minor issues, clipping annoys me way more.

asura has the best melee animation of all races
except rush lol
but you can’t really do anything as asura naturally has short legs causing them to run like a penguin

Yeah, I just got to live with the Rush skill! All other skills have great animaton, like the auto-attack with the Axe, such a great little flip at the end.

I will just have to learn to love the Penguin Rush..!

I’m glad I’m not the only one though.

Meh, I say you just have to be creative.

Some speculate that Asura have bionic equipment giving them the ability of a cyborg with enhanced durability, strength and speed. Considering they are inventors and golemancers, perhaps there’s a speciality of golemancy that focuses on fusing magic golem parts and body parts, explaining their capabilities as a Warrior.

My Asura isn’t like that though. I considered some effects of the game, namely the Metrica Province Thaumanova Reactor and the Asura racial utility Radiation Field, and came up with the backstory that my Warrior was exposed to such magical radiation as a child and he grew up with an enhanced metabolism and physique. Basically, think of Bruce Banner but with the magical properties of the radiation, it doesn’t make him bulkier (although he is rather tall for an Asura) yet his strength equals a Norn.

Yeah, just have to be creative. I honestly love my little warrior and much of the dialog and animations for him.

I also cannot decide between Asura and Human/Norn.

I like the Asura animations and dialogue better. All the tiny details they put into weapon swing animations like the Asura hopping up to stab something. Also look at how they heave a greatsword up onto their shoulder when you start walking. Their arms dont just move to put the greatsword up on the shoulder their whole body is moving when they put it up there. Once once up there they lean to the side.

I have duplicate profession for every Norn too and i have their height slider maxed out. I like how some light and heavy armor looks on Norn. But my favorite thing about the Norn females is their dance which i believe is called “The Carlton” from Fresh Prince. She also does those weird hand gestures too like she bobbles her head and points left right left, or she does the wax on wax off with her hands or whatever.

I dont take my video games too seriously (anymore) so i like all those cutesy and goofy bits that Asura and Norn have. I’ve also rolled ton of Gnomes and Goblins in WoW and in Wildstar i rolled all classes as Chuas. Chuas from WS are the only thing that beats Asura on the cute/funny factor for me though. The cool thing about Chuas is they have no gender, but that still doesnt limit you from making them look feminine or masculine through character selection options. Actually you know what? you guys gotta see the Chua emotes. If you like Asura, lolcats and stuff like that you should like the Chua emotes hehe. If you dont want to watch the whole video at least fast forward to 2:20 and look at the /sleep and /dance emotes :P

Take comfort in that you look like f-ing Yoda with a lightsaber when you pop 100 blades, and all the other races have to eat their jelly donuts.
