Ardid.7203:

The Char fight against Ascalon ghosts out of hatred and stubbornness. But the ghosts are very contained and can’t normaly move freely outside their place of haunting. Charr could easyly withdraw from Ascalon to attack other enemies. Similar can be said about the branded.
The ogres are a minor threat, more similar to an annoying guerrilla than to a real battlefront.
The Flame Legion and Ebonhawke, however, are a totally different matter. They are real opponents no Charr could turn their back on.

So it all would fall down on the strategy taken by the high commands in the Charr army. If they decide to go with all the force against the humans, they are done. But that would meant to sacrifice the Black Citadel to the flame legion, to gain Divinity’s Reach instead. Hard call for them, really.

Even in this situation – the risk is immense.
What if DR holds? Not forever – but long enough to exhaust the attacking Charr while the Black Citadel falls to the ghosts or Flame Legion.

What do they do then? Even if they manage to breach DR and slaughter the humans to a man how do they sustain themselves?
A siege of DR means the destruction of the areas around that produce foodstuffs to support it. Either by attacking Charr or retreating humans.
They would win DR only to find themselves completely open, undersupplied ( if supplied at all) and weakened.

It’s not a real call unless you’re suicidal.

You forgot that the Charr can just bomb Divinity’s Reach from the sky…

Wow, this really is thread necromancy, this was one of my first topics after launch.

It’s kind of disappointing that we still don’t have an answer to this.

Dude, how did you actually come back to this topic?!? You’re still alive?! 4 years later! Still alive!

But I put my money on Acht being an asura. It just seems so asuran – even if it doesn’t have the oh-so-common repeating consonant/vowel thing.

RedDeadFred.1256:

I get it, they had to have it OP at launch so that people would want HoT, but I really do think they’ve gone too far.

Arena Net disagrees with you.

Boring is the last thing I’d call mesmer….

Besides, if you’re so bored with the class then play something else, sheesh. Mesmer will always be mesmer.

Asura. 100 blades animation. Unleash your inner yoda.

You both screwed up with proof reading, actually.

All in all: Warrior is a berserking mindlessly fun pve experience, guardian takes the mindlessness of warrior and compounds it with even better defensive abilities as well as flashy flashy FLASHY abilities. Oh, yeah, and magic.

Asura Master Race.
