Charr, duh.
They’re war incarnate.

I guess I will try charr, I just think Charrs are too bulk and big for a sniper hide out build, they can be spotted from far away..LOL

Well, Charr is popular for warriors basically because that’s what they do.

I made a human, though. I guess I’ve always preferred to make a “normal” character first before moving onto “for fun” characters. If we’re talking about racial utilities, though, I think either Asura or Sylvari have the most useful for a warrior: ranged CC (technobabble for Asura, grasping roots for Sylvari). Either way, though, I think it’s what you’d be happiest with. I’m happiest with a human warrior.

Charr do have some useful (as far as racials go) utilities in their landmine, hidden pistol, and charrzooka. The big ones do look a bit silly sniping with most weapons though, although the precursor rifle looks pretty big on them and the legionnaire’s rifle is pretty fitting too.

You can make (relatively) small and skinny ones if you use the lowest slider setting and bottom-left body type.

Of course, if being seen is really a consideration for you, it doesn’t get any smaller than asura. But you might not want to spend heaps on good looking gear, because only other asura stand any chance of seeing it.

I use a Charr. But I’m not a big, bulky Charr either. I wanted to be a bit more unique so I went to the smaller side. I’m still a bit larger than most other races in-game (aside from some Norns) so if you’re looking to be tiny and unseen, Charr probably isn’t your best option. But for the sake of sense I’d say Charr is the best for Warrior.

certainly not Norn… you will be left out without any elite skill but the banner and signet… plain boring.

I have to second this. While my Norn warrior is my main (and overall most fun) character, those elites are snooze-worthy. Especially compared to Charr.

I like my Asuran; Pain Inverter fills a nice gap in WvW, while the baseline warrior skills cover PvE.

Anet did state in development that racial skills would never really be as powerful as profession specific ones so as not to make race choice biased or making people feel like they have to play a certain race to be effective as that profession. The issue with Asuran animations is likely the only thing to give you some advantage but I suspect Anet will address this soon as many people see it as a big problem.

To give an example of a racial to compare with a profession skill, Charr have a utility which is a shout (can’t remember the name), but it is essentially a weaker version of FGJ on a longer cooldown. So besides maybe some situational use on the elites, you will generally find in the meta game that racials play little to no part whatsoever.

anything cause all the racial skills are crap when compared to the rest of the classes skills.

just saying.

but my warrior is a charr cause they look amazing in heavy armor, then i have a female sylvari guardian cause the heavy armor is actually the most revealing of all the armor sets for women o.O yeah shun me or w/e, i like my female toons to be revealing! lol

I actually think the Sylvari Racials are pretty rocking, ESPECIALLY for a rifle warrior.

You get a decent heal with a small AoE regen. It normally gets 1 shotted by a sneeze, but that’s one hit you didn’t take. You get a RANGED IMMOBILIZE, which is amazing if you wanna go full sniper, and the Druid Spirit elite skill throws out more AoE Immobilizes, as well as some pretty respectable damage. Alternatively, you can summon a ton of Flower Turrets to aid in your ranged onslaught.

It all depends on what aspect of the game you prefer.

PvE, it won’t matter. The Asuran utility ‘radiation field’ can be nice due to AoE weakness, but that’s about it in my opinion and I wouldn’t find a slot for that on my bar anyway.

PvP, Asura. As Defektive said, animations are smaller and harder to dodge.

Personally I’m a norn because I just like the race, I play the smallest norn possible but if I ever go into sPvP I’ll be making an asura (if I can get used to the camera, all my alts are norn because I’m used to that high cam).

Char warrior brring’s nothing great in WvW, just telling you now.
Charzooka is OK, but don’t be fooled when you are told it does better than the rifle in single target or longbow in aoe.

Warriors or most classes in general don’t really rely on racial skills to do what they do.

Battle roar does have some uses IMO. Not a lot, but suppose you wanted to put a bit more fury and might on your allies or something and had a spare slot besides FGJ.

Charr for battle roar, hidden pistol.

Char = Shoot2, support, Banner kind of type

the other race is out of my option

If you like to solo roam, then Norn racial elite skill snow leopard gives you 2x stealth. It will save your life many times, and a side treat: stealing those chests without a fight.

Guild wars should be war between orders, because orders are guilds too.

Asura if you dont mind the way they look. As a snipery Warrior one big thing youve got is your kill shot, and its easy to see its animation. Its a lot harder to see at a distance on an Asura.

If PvP isnt a big deal for you, Id go with whatever looks cooler.

Are you suggesting that my otter-like sheen is anything less than as incredible as my overpoweringly awe-inspiring intellect that comes backed by an erudite and expansive vocabulary and a physical prowess titanic in potential yet tiny in proportion? I’ll have you know that Asuran physiognamy is the result of generations of carefully planned and ingeniously implemented evolutionary manipulation specifically designed to perpetuate the propagation of predominantly powerful genetic material!

Indeed, sir.
