Best Race for Warrior?
I've done a lot of consideration on what class I want to be, and I've chosen to be a Warrior. I've heard it's hard-to-play, can DPS or Tank, and can be good in PvP too. If I didn't pick Warrior I probably would have been Slayer, Sorcerer, or Lancer. But now I need to pick what race I want to be.

I'm sure veteran players understand the differences better than I do. The racial abilities I can grasp, but what about animations and hitboxes? Do those still matter in this version of the game?

Basically, I am asking which race has the best range/speed (or simply put, best animations) and hitbox for the Warrior class. Or if those things don't matter anymore, then please let me know.

Thanks!

Elin has best range on Combative Strike which should always be one of your main rotation skills on Warrior. I myself am a High Elf cause I like how they look with the Twin Swords but Castanic and Humans are better options for "effectiveness". Most of the time your race won't matter so just pick the one that looks best to you. That's what I did and I'm having a blast with my 65 warrior.
castanic male looks good as waroir too

Cast make best dps imo, 1% crit chance when attacking behind as racial buff. Which stacked with carving crux is pretty significant.

But all in all just choose what looks best to you as youll be staring at your character for many hours. Fashion is important

Wouldn't 10% less damage be important or do Warriors not have to worry about getting hit as much?

Why are Elin and Elf M good at Lancer, Montiblanc?

Best race for warrior is not playing a warrior. the class blows.

more or less its coz the other races have ♥♥♥♥♥♥ range/movement/hit detection for attacks and skills, Elins shine here

I avoid reddit like the plague. Can you maybe give me the short answer to the question?

Going to explain what's wrong with Warrior?

That stat is pretty much useless in my experience, as I always seem to take so much damage that it doesn't matter whether I have the 10% reduction racial or not.

Warriors are surprisingly low on the DPS/damage scale, due to the hybrid nature of the class.

Hitboxes are all identical. Attack ranges are all identical. All judgements on any particular combo are based solely on comparisons to the race's individual sizes.

It's the exact same thought pattern when people in WoW constantly asked why gnomes ran so fast in comparison to draenei. It's because your face is so close to the ground that it looks faster. Elin are visually tiny, and any comparison to their combat behavior fails to take that into account.

Perception and confirmation bias, that's all it is.

OP, just look over the races' inherent skills and decide for yourself which you prefer.

Elin is the best race for warrior because you get more movement on your skills and a longer range. I used to play Amani male warrior and rising fury moved me nowhere, PvP was a pain. Now I have an Elin warrior and it moves me a good 3-4m which is critical in certain situations.

Passives aren't really worth bothering with when choosing a race for you class. Generally speaking, the Elin and Popori races have better reach and more movement than other races for each class.
