^ Ryuujin: cuuuute <3
I prefer female Asura, partly because I’m female myself and just prefer playing female chars in general, but also because to me, they’re cuter
And I really love the voice acting. I’m glad they didn’t choose an extremely baby-like high pitched voice, but a cute-but-also-mature-and-sophisticated sounding one.
Though I guess my ultimate dream would have been to be able to choose between 3 voices for each character, ranging from high and young-sounding to low and mature sounding. But I’m not gonna complain about not having this, the amount of voice acting would have been INSANE ^^
About your choice: I actually have a female Asura Ele, and she says adorable things when she changes attunements. You’re gonna hear those shouts a lot when you play an ele ^^ so here’s the things that female, and then male, Asura Eles shout when they switch attunements. Maybe it helps in your decision. (Maybe when reading the words, you’ll remember how it sounds from hearing it in the game from another ele.)
Female:
Fire:
“Observe the power of fire!”
“Spark to flame!”
Water:
“The water’s rage!”
“Wave and torrent!”
Air:
“Let the storms rage!”
“I summon the winds!”
Earth:
“I command stone and soil!”
“The earth is my weapon!”
Male:
Fire:
“I have ignition!”
“Turn up the heat!”
Water:
“Cleansing will now begin!”
“Turn the tide!”
Air:
“Severe weather warning!”
“Now they’ll feel my turbulence!”
Earth:
“Rocks and stones will break your bones!”
“Geological forces at my command!”
I find the male ones to be more snarky and funny, but I prefer the way the female ones sound.
Also, there’s of course the other sound tidbids that have nothing to do with attunement. Here’s a mix of some that I remember and that I found online, for each gender.
Female:
“What a fascinating discovery!” (Discovering)
“Oh, I can’t wait to explore this place!” (Discovering)
“Statistically speaking, this is rather rare.” (Rare loot)
“It’s not showing off if you earned it.” (Achievement)
“Oh yes. I earned this.” (Achievement)
“Another testament of my greatness!” (Leveling / Ach)
“Can I get any better? … Indeed, I can!” (Leveling)
“More knowledge for me!” (Learning a skill)
“I can’t wait to try this out!” (Learning a skill)
“May all your theories be sound.” (When leaving an NPC)
“There’s the power.” (Might)
“Getting healthy.” (Regen)
“Go ahead, hit me!” (Retaliation)
“Combine and compound!” (Combo field)
“Synergy is beautiful!” (Combo field)
“How doess that feel? Excruciating?” (Doing damage)
“‘I majored in pain, with a minor in suffering!” (sooo eeeevil >:3 )
“Burning … burning … burning!!” (Burning ^^ )
“I’m weakened? Preposterous!” (Weakness)
“Going hypothermic!” (Chilled)
“My mobility is impaired!” (Crippled)
“My defenses are down!” (Vulnerability)
“… where am I?” (Confusion)
“I need an antidote!” (Poison)
“That’s … my blood …” (Bleeding)
“Help me, I’m hurt!” (
sounds really helpless and cute)
“Structural integrity … compromised …” (when nearly dead)
“I don’t think well on the ground.” (After being rezzed)
Male:
“I’ve already beaten you, you just don’t know it yet!” (Entering combat)
-Some other combat line I can’t remember now for some reason-
“Why won’t anyone… help me?” (Low health/downed)
“Help… I don’t have long…” (Low health/downed)
“I was getting tired of laying around!” (Revived)
“It’s about time!” (Revived)
Boons/conditions:
“Accelerate!” (Swiftness)
“The thrill of speed!” (Swiftness) …I’m not sure about this line. Quickness?
“Initiating feedback loop!” (Retaliation)
“I feel six feet tall!” (Might?)
“Infuriating!” (Fury?)
“Body heat..diminishing.” (Chilled)
“I’m hemorrhaging!” (Bleed)
“High toxicity!” (Poisoned)
“I feel exposed!” (Vulnerability)
or more gold, which would be a nice way to let casual players who don’t do champion farms or flip the AH, earn some gold.
