I’m thinking about using a makeover kit on my warrior. Changing her from the shortest female norn into the tallest male possible for cosmetic reasons, but would it be more hassle than it’s worth?
I’m vaguely aware about the general downsides, such as jumping puzzles. Although I would appreciate your view on the general issues, I’m concerned for warrior in specific.
In pvp, will it block my view of my targets too much, especially if I’m using melee weapons? Which I find the most enjoyable playstyle. Or other issues that I’m not aware of.
Also in pve, will it distract the view when stacking? Or will it be a problem in Cliffside fractal jumping section? Or other issues that I’m not aware of.
Am I overthinking it or do you suggest making him the shortest possible?
Praise be to Balthazar, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.
From my experience, the size of your character may cause problems in pvp like you pointed out. But I’ve noticed it to be problem only against melee asura warriors. But bear in mind that my character is tallest HUMAN female, which is nowhere near as big as tallest male NORN. I suggest you to make a new character (Assuming that you have character slots left), tallest male norn, and try it in pvp before deciding whether or not to change your existing character’s gender. I can’t speak from PvE perspective but I hope I gave you some thoughts about the situation!
My warrior is the biggest that a Norn Male can get. In PvE it’s no issue (I suck at Juming Puzzles nomatter the race or size), in WvW it actually helps because your squishier guildmembers (Focus Party & Bombers) can ‘hide’ in your character easier.
In PvP I don’t find it to be an issue either, maybe it’s because I change my camera angle to a more top-down thingy etc.
You could always make a seperate smaller warrior for PvP if it bothers you (since you get upscaled to a proper level 80 anyways)
