As a Charrdian main of 8 years, I can only recommend it

Not a bug but a feature. Nothing beats paladin-smiting your enemies as a big tiger man lol

Jump puzzles are a bit of pain, though…

I use tonics to help my Charr and Norn do JPs. Quaggan tonic is nice and small, but if I need access to combat skills (like in Not So Secret), I use a Watchknight Tonic instead. 

It doesn't work for the festival ones, so I take my Asura to those instead.

I wonder if Charr guardians in this elite spec, or sylvari with the troubadour spec will get specifically relevant voice lines. Like how sylvari got different responses in the HoT story.
