Actually for my Au Ra, WHM will still remain my main ^^ but I will be making a DRK too.

Au Ra look like Elezens with horns... and my alt is already an Elezen so... I will play with the benchmark because I'm curious but I'll probably stick with my Elezen.
god i feel like a drug addict on withdrawl waiting for the benchmark
*scratches arms* benchmark... i need .. benchmark... *Scratches more* i .. i need it ... i am nothing without it.. au ra .. AU RA! I NEED IT GIVE ME THE BENCHMARK GIMMIETHEBENCHMARKYOSHIP!
*cough* o3o sorry i think i lost it there XD
but seriously, i cannot wait next month where i can make my au ra and make her cute :D
Why would I want to be an Au Ra DRK when I can be a LalaDRK and wield a sword bigger than myself.
Finally the benchmark came! As you can see from my new Forum Signature I've played around with the character generator, and i think i've settled on my new look.
now I just need Fern to post the new Vocabulary etc for Au Ra.
I wasn't going to go with Au Ra but I have been messing with the Benchmark and I think I am now. I will be joining you in the Au Ra DRK HYPE TRAIN!
have you seen their dance emote motion? I love it.

I hope they fix that animation. Their hands clip through each other.

At first.. I was seriously considering it. looking forward to that fantasia potion and switching to Au Ra come heavensward.
Then the benchmark came...
Nope I can definitely say I wont be jumping on the 'roll an Aura on heavensward drop date' train. They're easily most god damned hideous MMO race I've ever seen. I expected a lot more from SE than what they're giving us. But thats my opinion, I just dont care for their aesthetic at all. Or I might if we had a little more control over the options. As it stands.. No way in hell would I pay $15 a month to play that.
I don't disagree about being a little disappointed...but what shocks me is that you were considering becoming one...and then you hate them with a passion? I'm not sure what exactly the benchmark shows you that gave you a fundamental shift from "I wanna be one probably!" to "THIS IS THE WORST RACE ANY MMO HAS EVER KNOWN". That's...a remarkably large shift, especially when we had screencaps of them beforehand so we knew exactly what the aesthetics were for them.
Since I'm gonna Phantasia into an Au Ra (that's right, I'm a passanger on the hype train) and gonna roll a Dark Knight I can't deny what you are saying. But, I would roll a Dark Knight even if I wern't turning into an Au Ra. Tanking is what I play for, and the DRK is the only tank left to lvl up.
Edit: My signature kinda works with your statement aswell. ^^
Hmm... can't see my signature here. I did before editing. =/
Saw this post on reddit this morning, actually!
I've only posted one pic to the twitter competition so far. Need to do another one some time today. I really love my Au Ra so far though. The Au Ra have the largest selection of skin colours. I find the Raen to be more vibrant, but they are stuck with the beige scales. As you can see in my sig, I've gone with the Xael, I might play aroun d with the hair colou more before I decide my final/permanent look . . . but worst case scanrio is that I have more than one fantasia atm anyway :D
Also wanted to mention, the Au Ra megathreads on Reddit are packed with tonnes more posts than the official forums.
I find a lot of them seem to be fairly plain looking fem Au Ra, but once you escape that there are so man insanely different looking pictures. From a Goku to a Moomba (lol) to uh, well I'm getting trolled for this, but the main character from that card game cartoon/show. . . I have no idea what his name is, or the name of the show. I think they are the same.
Sticking to Roe myself. I don't really like the look of this new race.
