So has everybody knows im one of the big fans of Guildwars 2 i can´t wait it to come out.
So this said im asking you wich would be the best race for Warriors based on elite skills , and also for Guardian, Necro.
Make your opinions about why the best race should be charr or Norn or Sylvari in each profession.

I have only seen the Charr-zoocka, not sure what others are, and no one can play sylvari or asura yet.
You do know that racial skills are not as strong as normal abilities and are just there for some flare right?
I dont know there is a best, as racial elites are more flashy then powerfull. I doubt they will replace one of you class elites so it will be placed more on prefferance
yes i do know but per example human there is a speed thing or something that increases damage that could come in handy for a warrior or guardian right ?
Maybe, but chances are there are other skills that would be more useful. Like using a warhorn and giving those buffs to everyone around you.
Not sure how acurate this info is, but it looks like they are much more than simply flashy. Check these human sub skills which you gain when shifting to Avatar of Melandru form: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Avatar_of_Melandru
Two roots .. It isn't hard to see how stuff like that can be very beneficial to AoE and Melee based chars to deal with more mobile classes.
Personally I really like it that race is much more than just a cosmetic factor. I was very opposed to Bioware scrapping the SWTOR racials because of people whining about it.
Every race the exact same abilities and viabilities solely based on profession = lame and artificial.
By having different synergies in each class-race combo there will be more appeal to level more characters of the class you really prefer. (I had three max level rogues in WOW myself while racials in that game were much less of a factor than in GW2's take on them).
Downside is that there will probably be FOTM combo's but that's only for min-maxers who really care.
My brand new bloggity blog.
Not sure how old that is but I think in one of totalbiscuit newest video he mentions that the devs have said they are mostly for flare.
The one that intrigued me the most is the Asura one, Golem Battlesuit.
From the wiki : "Golem Battlesuit creates a battle suit that can be entered and operated. As this is an Asura Racial skill only Asura can summon it, but once summoned anyone in your party may enter and operate it, even non Asura players."
There's not much information about it and it might not be very usefull, but a battlesuit, c'mon. C'mon.
