Me and my british friend Supervillain have been arguing nonestop about this since the day GW2 has been announced.

Who is better, and who will be better, the Charr proffesion, or the Norn proffesion?
If a norn will have a round one fight against a Charr, who will win? (in the current GW game)

Obviously norn would win it without any doubts, I mean, COME ON, a cat trying to kill a bear?

Whats your oppinion?

P.S we took out the other proffesions/races because we don't care about them, and we just want to know overall who do you think will win, please no "everyone is unique in their way"

This is very serious.

Since charr outnumber norn a near 250 : 1. this means charr wins.

1v1 norn wins

i dont know if this is the right section of the forum to post it in....

But il say Charr.... if they could practically scorch Ascalon and all the lands surounding it i assure you they can take care of couple of norn settlements that are not even united... and in 1 on 1 fight i would still vote for charr.. Cat/wolf is more agile then a bear and faster, also has more stamina not to mention the eye sight is much more superior.

Charr would win. Norn are unorganized (no armies or leaders, just heroes).

Gwen is annoying... deserves to die...

Charr are clever and kind at times. They didnt have to help you in Eye of the North. They didnt have to let you borrow their siege devourers.

Also even the Lich liked Charr... Lich > Norn.

From "Movement of the World":

Although it is certain the Charr could have destroyed the Norn resistance if they but turned their entire army - or even one full legion - to the cause, warbands and smaller raiding parties could not overcome the individual strength of the Norn.

Personal opinion, the Charr would win, the Charr are much more organized, balanced and whiped out the entire area of Ascalon. Although the Norn are strong, they are too stuck up and stubborn to work together consecutively, so in the end it would turn out to be like 8 Charr vs 1-2 Norn.

At an overall standpoint... the Charr are better prepared.

Charrs destroyed Ascalon: an army of kitties vs and army of humans
Norns stopped destroyers: an army of destroyers vs 5 norns.

So I guess a few norns could stop 2 armies of charrs with no problem.

That's right. Nice logic there.
Stupid annoying kittys.
Norn will also save the day by defeating the Ancient Dragons with their unique and overpowered powers and will be the heroes, while the Charr will only choke from their own fur balls.

It might be true that we helped them, but our help was measure to what they were. We only helped them to locate the boss and give some small company while they were the real power defeating and destroying the boss. If we play without the norn, we would be dead in one hit. How glad we are that norn are there for us.

If it was a charr, he would run and rambo like a kitty, licking his own body and suiciding next to a power which is greater than them. No chance for a charr.

... Hmm while it widly exepted that Charr are Kitten like. Upon further examination they are more of a Fox Like or Wolf like Snout.. not a short Cat like snout...... Plus cats+hornes?.. even the ears look as if they are from a dog and not pointy cat.. and Char Rits and shamans snouts look as of a lion or a tiger .. there there is a relation to cat.. . But Pyreshot by far looks more like a fox or a dog.

Charr because the Norn are stubborn asses and refuse to fight as a team. Charr actually have some idea of formations and war tactics.

Norn fight alone and a single player character can easily dispose of one.

Charr fight in groups, usually very large, and their builds and AI are designed to work together in a manner apparently meant to mirror player groups.

A norn will lose.

If you're asking about GW2 and racial stats - there'd best not be any racial stats, because that's a failed idea.

Technically they could've killed quite a few first before we even arrived. What i dont actually understand is shouldn't they have all thought together from the start.

Actually I disagree on one point there. The Charr win by using tactics against the enemy. The Norn however, use pure brute force to bust down the opponents. It would be a close match: Norn strength and endurance versus Charr tactics and formations. I think in the end though the Charr would win after suffering major losses.

On another note this would make for an interesting "deadliest warrior" episode

ArenaNet were brilliant for avoiding race-based stats / abilities, part of the GW design philosophy that made GW into the game we play and love.

Well The Charr have the ability to use magic and are organized. They brought Ascalon to it's knees and destroyed Orr.Havn't they also domesticated siege devourers?

While the Norn however don't believe in armies, just heroes.

The 1v1 argument is a silly one tbh, that's like saying Gorillas, lions, bears etc... are superior than humans as they can beat us in a 1v1...yet who put who on the endangered species list.

"Over the past one hundred years, more and more Norn have been seen in Kryta and lands beyond. An elder dragon of ice and snow arose in the farthest northern peaks, driving even the most stalwart hunters south into Dwarven lands."

Straight from wiki, so you were saying?

That won't happen, Norn will unite against the GW2 developers and force them to make them heroes. Mark my words.

If a human can solo a norn, a charr could beat a norn. They would just have to wait for bear form to go down and destroy them. Also charr have resses and monks.
