So like many others I am having issues on which races to match with each classes. In this case, I want to make a slayer and a lancer. I'd like to make one human and one high elf female. I already have four elins so I wanna try something different. Castanics don't really suit me and the rest of the races I don't really want to play or I already have.

I'm not concerned at all with racial bonuses, this is purely aesthetic. I think I'm having so much trouble because I think that both look REALLY good in heavy armor. I would've made my popori something other than berserker if I knew about this before, but he's adorable and I don't want to change him. So, any suggestions would really be appreciated.

Both are fine, appearance wise. But personally I will go with human female, they have the most accurate body proportion.

Human looks better in plate imo. For slayer, I rolled a high elf but was disappointed with their armor and animation so I race changed to castanic. You said you don't like castanic but I think it's the best choice for slayer (armor design&animation)
Here are my chars just to show off ^^

That is mostly depend by what you want. I can tell you my opinion = elfs are lack of rly sexy leather armors. This one what show more body, usually use model with smaller breasts. So if you want one female elf with suggestive apperance then lancer will be better option (gold heavy armors from 50-58 have rly stunning appearance). But still, elven females look the best in robes IMO.

If you look at humans in leather armors, for me elves have better. Here is my:

Its hard.

In my opinion human females have the single best looking leather, but also some of the worst.

Their heavy is nice in general, but then so is elf heavy nice in general.

I guess elf leather and human heavy is the best overall, but then you miss out on this which i think is awesome:

I think the solution for me is 4 more characters slots... then I could have all three armor classes for Human, HIgh Elf, Castanic, and Elin.

I would be very content then...

Humans look wonderful in plate. Also, the way elven women stand looked stupid enough as it was. It looks even worse in heavy gear. Just does not suit their Barbie Doll-esque proportions.

I say make a human for lancer and a high elf for slayer. I have a high elf slayer, and early on the leather armor looks decent (hurray for boobage :D), but leather armor later on (catsuits really) look rather sweet.

I went human female for my Lancer and castanic female for my Slayer. I prefer the castanic animations. However, I went high elf female for my Archer because both the animations look amazing and they have some of the best leather armor imo.

I dunno, I like my Elf in her plate:



Granted, my zerker was originally a Castanic so I didn't see the Elf armor models while leveling, but I think the higher level gear looks nice.
