    also isn't a warband like 5 to 30 members so i dont think 1 norn can take over 100 charr warriors at once[COLOR="red"]

    Definitely this. None of the races are really dominant right now.

    The wiki says that the Charr occupy most of eastern Tyria, but that doesn't really mean much imo.

    You seem to forget charr are born and raised to fight and go to war.(Literally) So they themselves are very skilled fighters.

    I do not forget it, i am just convinced that a norn is more/better skilled.*

    Also i would like to point out Norn are not a united race in the sense that they have a government and a army under it. Norn are more lone wolves who come together once in a while to drink and play extreme bear pong

    of the playable races at least, I think it'd very easily be the Charr. The Sylvari and too young, the humans are almost wiped out, the Norn I'm not sure of, but they're basically just refugees, and same as the Norn for the Asura. The Charr are really the only race who has had any time to grow.
    In numbers, it's mostly likely the Charr. In national strength (such that it is), again, Charr.

    Humanity is large only comparatively to the races that have been transplanted or displaced- Asura & Norn. Sylvari are of course, newcomers.

    Also a single Norn is not able to clear out a 1 Charr Warband, yet alone 4-5. That is flatly, absurd. Norn are big & tough but Charr are nearly as large, tough and militant.

    To paraphrase Wu-tang Clan; Charr ain't nothing to f--- with.

    Yea. At least in Kryta/Ascalon. There are many more humans acorss the seas and deserts in Cantha and Elona. Where humanity was dominant a few hundred years ago. But obvs. the exact state of those continents is not known since big Z, Joko & the movement of the world.

    As far as GW2 is concerned, Charr are in a position to sweep away all other races if they please. Smart cats. <-- pun intended, always.

    The Charr wouldn't openly attack another race anymore knowing that without the alliance of all races they will die fast to the dragons

    I wonder if future expansions will add more spirit-form transformations to Norn.

    Four other spirits - Dolyak, Owl, Wolverine, and Eagle - battled Jormag in order to give the norn time to move south. Owl was confirmed dead by its havroun. However, because the other three spirits have not had a havroun to communicate with them for generations, their status is currently unknown.
    Some spirits exist which are considered unworthy of reverence; the norn acknowledge the existence of other naturalistic forces, such as Mountain, Seasons, Fire and Darkness. These spirits are not sentient and are depicted as challenges for the norn to overcome.

    I never suggested such. Merely that the Charr are in dominant position among all other races on the continent.

    I fixed it for ya!

    It's hard to say if the Charr would really be capable of wiping out the rest of the races, but it definitely wouldn't be to their benefit.

    The only trouble, I think, would be the Norn if they decided to unite under a single banner. Humans/Asuri/Sylvari wouldn't stand much of a chance.

    I wonder how powerful the centaurs are honestly. I don't know much about them.

    Hrm...

    The Charr have a tentative friendship with the Norn, respecting their sense of power and personal strength.
    I dunno. What do the Norn think of humans?

    I do not doubt they could. They are almost bred for war and have advanced tech and magic. Charr are also not afraid of taking on super powerful beings directly. The superstitions and faith of other races don't mean a thing to Charr. They killed their "gods", which were very powerful beings. Charr just don't give two flips about the Bear Spirit, they'd probably try to kill it in some way.

    Again, this isn't to say the Charr are set out to wipe out other races. That's not even a point I brought up. I am saying all indicators are Charr could if they pleased to do so. Presumably, they don't.

    They may be bred for war, but that doesn't mean the other races wouldn't find a way to hold their own. *shrugs*

    eh, unless they united I really doubt a single race would be able to hold their own.

    Again, Norn depending on whether they unite into one nation or not. If so, I don't know. Especially since the Norn have those super powerful spirits.

    Also keep in mind that the Charr themselves aren't even united. I wonder how they operate, I'm guessing each of the three leaders come to some sort of agreement.

    That misses the point. No other race is in a position to challenge the Charr directly. The fact the Charr are fiercely militant and supremely skilled in tech/magic only makes it more so.
