Fantasy MMORPG PvE Raids Guilds

In Guild Wars 2, the "best" race depends on your playstyle, aesthetic preferences, and whether you care about racial skills or lore. Since racial abilities are intentionally weaker than profession skills (to avoid imbalance), the choice is mostly cosmetic. Heres a breakdown: Best Race for Gameplay (Min-Maxing): Human (Norn for PvE): - Human: Slightly better racial elite skills (e.g., "Hounds of Balthazar" for condi builds). - Norn: "Bear Form" is decent for early-level survivability, and "Snow Leopard" offers mobility. Asura: - Small hitbox (harder to target in PvP). - "Technobabble" (CC) and "Radiation Field" can be situationally useful. Sylvari: - "Take Root!" (elite skill) was once meta for condi builds but was nerfed. Still decent for niche uses. Best for Aesthetics/Roleplay: Charr: Best animations for heavy armor (Warrior/Guardian/Revenant) and unique running style. Asura: Best for light armor (Mesmer, Necro, Elementalist) due to quirky animations. Human/Norn: Classic fantasy look; best for Fashion Wars 2. Best for Story/Lore: Human: Central to the main story. Sylvari: Critical in Heart of Thorns expansion. Charr: Great for Iron Legion and military-themed RP. Worst Race for Meta: Charr: Racial skills are underwhelming, and their bulky animations can feel clunky. Final Verdict: Meta Players: Race barely matterspick Human or Asura for slight advantages. Casual/Fashion Players: Choose what looks best for your profession! Would you like recommendations for a specific class?

Great raids, some bugs

The new raid content is fantastic with challenging mechanics. However, there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out. Overall a solid expansion that keeps me coming back for more.
