I went in thinking a Rifle, Axe/Warhorn Charr Warrior and came out with Rifle, Sword/Warhorn Sylvari Warrior. I thought I was definitely going Charr because of the cool running animation, but I dunno, some of the animations are kind of weird. I was just gonna roll a Sylvari to try out the character creator but after seeing the crazy glowing mushroom head I knew that's what I was gonna do at release. Looks badass lol. Plus their story stuff seemed way cooler.
Axe was nice with the Vulnerability stacking with the Rifles, but the Sword stacks bleeding with rifle, and there's a cheap Arms tactic to make bleeds 50% longer, so I went with Sword instead. It's nice with the closer, the cripple with a 1 sec immobile to keep em in place for Flurry on them while they're still Vulnerable from Rifle. Lots of fun. The sword closer goes SO far, and is way more fun than eviscerate, and let's my allies catch up too.
