it's fun to speculate. people stop ruining all the fun!

It also gives an insight into how people view the races and how they see the professions in relation to the races. But, maybe that's a little too cerebral for a forum.

If possible, Asura Warrior

Asura Battle stance FTW

ShadowsRequiem · Apr 15, 2007, 11:10 PM // 23:10

Margonite : /

Asura are probably short and creepy. T_T Like munchkins or something. And I bet there'll be lots of them. Count me out.

We don't know the professions, but I assume since it is an RPG there will be "melee" "healer" "wizard-type" "archer type" and so on...Myself, I'd probably make a human (yay for average!) spellcaster of some kind...and then a Charr melee or ranged character (Rawr!). Don't even know what the Norn and Sylvari look like, so I can't even say if I'd make a character for one or both of those or not. If I don't like them, then the others will be humans or Charr. Overall, assuming four slots: 1-2 Charr, 2-3 humans, Melee, Ranged, Spellcaster, Spellcaster.

Probably an Azura Monk

Cheerz

Katrina Sandstorm · Apr 15, 2007, 11:38 PM // 23:38

Human Minstrel, killing enemies by playing a lute is a really hillarious twist in my opinion.

X of Thulcandra · Apr 15, 2007, 11:48 PM // 23:48

I doubt there will be alot of Asuras, since about 90% of the people in the Asura minipet thread bashed the critter.

Envious · Apr 15, 2007, 11:52 PM // 23:52

Charr or Norn Warrior
Asura Monk
Human Dervish

In no particular order.

Steps Ascending · Apr 16, 2007, 12:36 AM // 00:36

Mes or rit, human or sylvan. Maybe asura if they are rare enough

hmmm.... war asura... Cant wait to see one.

By the way, I think no one here will be surprised if some classes diseapear. People just mean the closest match.

Curse You · Apr 16, 2007, 01:00 AM // 01:00

Human Necromancer, named... Curse You. How does this make sense? He's a descendant, who was named for his ancestor.

Then probably an Asura Warrior. I'd love seeing a two foot tall thing tanking mobs.

Also, Charr Monk or Elementalist, assuming they use similar models to the Shaman or Fire Caller.

Onarik Amrak · Apr 16, 2007, 02:31 AM // 02:31

An Asura Warrior with a shield taller than he is would be pretty cool I guess...

The ultimate turtle tank.

kingbox099 · Apr 16, 2007, 03:31 AM // 03:31

What makes you people so sure asura's are small? offcourse they look small now cause they only exist in MINIpets... or did I miss something?

dark_prince2023 · Apr 16, 2007, 11:05 AM // 11:05

I plan on being a norn don't know if I will go for others deffently will try them out to see how they play but a norn might be the best for farming and since its kinda hinted that they will have attribute based proffessions like a normal MMO I don't know how things will work with the professions. Who knows maybe the norn is the Wammo lol

SuTih Ithink its some where in the PC gamer but not to sure where and If I'm talking out my A$$

I imagine a full-size Asura to be about the same height of a Dwarf...

Anyone else have a guess?

human monk for the sake of starting off with something familiar.

Commander Ryker · Apr 16, 2007, 02:05 PM // 14:05

I agree with Eldin, rangers are awesome and that will be the first one I make this time. And, it will be human. Actually, I'm going to make all my guys human.
