"Brain, not brawn"

The diminutive Asura is a little box of tricks.

The first video of an Asura is Zojja in the Races video.
She is a haughty little creature that thinks her 'superior' intellect will defeat enemies with ingenuity easier than will muscle strength.

They can use golems to aid them in despatching enemies and are quite formidable allies in battle.

What do you think?

Something I found regarding the golems that you as an Asura can jump into to control. There is now info on some of the skills they have:

Golem "Hazmat Suit" Skills:

Punch- Description: Punch; Effect: Attack enemy twice

Whirling Assualt- Description: Spin the upper portion of hazmat suit, knocking back enemies; Effect: Move forward knocking back and dealing damage to enemies you hit while spinning

Gatling Fists- Description: Shoot a barrage of missles at target enemy; Effect: Repeatedly shoot missles enemy while holding skill down

Self Repair- Description: Engage the hazmat suit's self repair mechanism; Effect: Heals 200 health per second while holding down the skill

Leave Suit- Description: Exits the hazmat suit

This is the sort of thing we see in the Manifesto Trailer. It looks like a lot of fun and quite amusing ^_^

I dont really want to play a Asura, they are to smug and self righteous.

Im going to treat them like they everyone else, lack of respect. lol

But at least Golem's have more use than Eye of the north where they could only attack/defend.

Thanks Aissa

The golem suit sold me on playing an asura but I dont like the smug attitude either, lets just stay its a stereotype  ;)

I think they'll be interesting to fight with but I don't think I'll be one. They used Sylvari as cheap labor and experiments according to some of the interviews I read; along with picking on even lesser developed races just because they'll worship rocks! (forget the name but the interview is on the PAX Round-Up on Arenanet)
Looking forward to punting one in PvP ^^

To your question about the ones worshipping rocks, I think it's the Grawl who worship the Great Oouo (I think that's what it is called, off the top of my head), which is just an Asura hiding in a rock formation that amplifies his voice ;D

Grawl just worship natural objects. You remember that big searing crystals in post-sear ascalon surrounded by earth elementals. Yea its still there in GW2 and guess what, Grawl worship it!

I might try this little race up at some point but it isn't my first nor second choice.
I'm little curious about them. I'm also curious to see how playing with golem will work…

I cannot totally argue with; “brain, not brawn will change the world”, but it doesn't have to be either – or. I don't share their (or majority’s) arrogance or self righteousness, but I don't have to play like that. Strong can also be clever – and when one charges into battle by being clever changes of survival will grow. Underestimating your opponent is dangerous and can lead to catastrophe.

I'll be opting out of Lilo and Stitch for a while, though I can't say I wont try them… eventually.

They're not based on Lilo and Stitch, they're based on Harry Potter http://www.toplessrobot.com/dobby.jpg
