While magical effect of stealth is the more likely explanation for why player characters can do it so effectively, there is another aspect of assassination and thievery that gw2 actually recently provided in two of the recent episodes. But then again, stealth in this game has a magical aspect as stealthed people can walk in the middle of the road without being seen so maybe I’m just overthinking it it would work in a jungle or somewhere else in the wild, but I have a hard time believing they can go unnoticed in a rural area or a city (unless they sneak around at night). I didn’t say they couldn’t be assassins, I’m just saying I personally find it a bit hard to believe that a giant ferocious beast could hide in a corner. However I would like one of each race and profession combination so my opinion may not be in line with the majority. Animation wise I couldn’t tell you which is the best since I only have one of each profession.
However, I chose a thief because when I made my first character, a human mesmer, I saw the street rat option and it all clicked in my head. Their small stature does greatly help the ability to be a thief, seeing as there’s less of you to hide when compared to a norn or Charr.Īll in all, there is no ‘best’ race to choose for any profession.
Its a bit of a stretch in my opinion and I wouldn’t mind counters to the idea. Asura are really the odd one out in my opinion, since why would a known thief have any good reputation for research? Sure the inquest are shady, but they don’t respect the standards set by the rest of asuran society. Sylvari to me don’t feel the thieving type lore wise, but there are plenty of examples of Sylvari who don’t share that wide eyed view of the world and see it in a darker tone than most (caithe and canach). Humans have the best fit in my opinion (especially street rats), but others may disagree.
As for norn, well there is Snow Leopard who also has somewhat of a focus in teachings about stealth. Considering Charr have an ENTIRE legion dedicated to assassination and the more subtle aspects of war, the Charr are a fine race to have thieves for.
