Guild Wars 2 by far is one of the most famous MMORPG online, and its popularity even swelled when the base game became free-to-play on August 2015. The game takes place in a fantasy world called Tyria, where races must fight for survival and defeat a Lovecraftian species known as the Elder Dragons, who has seized control of the world.

Players must pick and customize a character from one of the five races that exist in the world of Tyria. These classes have their own personality and distinctions that could help you in determining which profession to take.

Asura may be small in size, but these mystical scientists are known for their intelligence. For this, they are referred to as the smartest beings in Tyria. They use their knowledge and skills to utilize and analyze magic through their inventions. Their mastery of arcane science has evolved throughout the years and has allowed them to rebuild their civilization. In the world of Asura, it is not the strong ones that survive, but those who are clever.

Although they may possess a human shape, their flesh is made of veins and leaves, foliage and petals, with golden saps flowing through their veins. These mysterious, noble plant beings roamed the world, seeking adventure and finding the purpose of their existence.
