Am I alone in feeling that some professions go with certain races than others? For example, a Norn Guardian sounds great to me, but just imagining an Asuran Guardian… * shudders * I would just like to know what Profession you guys think go with what races. Here’s my personal list so far, in no particular order:
Warrior: Charr, Norn, Human
Why: Warriors, to me, seem like they should be big, heavily muscled, ferocious etc. Sylvari and Asura don’t fit the bill. Charr seems to me like the ideal warrior, what with the claws, the fangs, Blood Legion, and the whole conquer the world thing.
Guardian: Charr, Norn, Human
Why: Pretty much, same as Warrior. I think Norn makes the ideal guardian because, well, I don’t know. They seem to me like the imposing tower of strength and armor that I feel a guardian should be.
Thief: Human, Sylvari, Asura, Charr
Why: Can you imagine a Norn trying to pickpocket? They’d get caught so fast… I’d say the same about the Charr, but they seem to have a whole legion that caters to thieves, so….
Mesmer: Human, Sylvari, Asura
Why: These three just seem like the most magical of the races to me. Asura seems cool, because of the whole “gremlin army” thing. Can you imagine arriving at a PvP fight and trying to click target the correct Asuran mesmer as a Norn?
Hunter: Human, Sylvari, Norn
Why: Humans and Sylvari seem the type to me, but Norns because of the whole “Great Hunt” thing. I can’t see an Asuran as one because some of the animals are bigger than they are.
Necromancer: Human, Sylvari, Norn, Asura
Why: Same as mesmer, but I put the Norn in because of all the NPC shamans they have. Necromancy seems like a shaman-y thing to me, I dunno.
Engineer: Charr, Human, Asura
Why: Charr because they have metal cities and even a whole legion that seems to cater to engineers, humans because they go with everything, Asurans because they are the smart ones and it seems logical that they woud build fancy gadgets. Not Norn because they seem primitive, and not Sylvari because they are tree huggers.
Elementalist: Human, Sylvari, Asura
Why: Same as mesmer.
I understand that you can be any profession as any race, so don’t troll. I just feel that some professions are geared towards some races more than others, and I wanted to get other opinions.
