What is the best race for Elementalist for WvW?

Best Answer
Asura? You're smaller and harder to spot I guess.
Otherwise it makes absolutely no difference other than visuals. Don't forget that visuals can be overridden by turning on enemy names anyway.
If you are looking for a specific race to play, look at the racial skills and see which ones you think will be most beneficial in WvW, should you have space to fit them into you build.

Can Elementalist use sword?
Weaver is an elite specialization for the elementalist that focuses on stance skills and adds a new Dual Attack mechanic that creates a unique third weapon skill based on the two attuned elements. It also allows them to use a sword.What is the best race for Mesmer gw2?
Lore-wise, any race can be a Mesmer. Charr might be less common, as they have a low-key cultural bias against magic, but it's still all good. Humans and Asura may be more common, as they tend to be more strongly Magic-oriented.Is Elementalist gw2 good?
TLDR: Many parts of the elementalist's kit feels outdated or just plain useless. The lack of synergies between traits, and limited options for important boons/utility makes for stale build diversity, and a lot of the utility skills are mediocre at best.Staff Weaver - GW2 WvW Zerging Elementalist Build Guide

Answer 2
There is really no finite answer to this, as it will boil down your preferred play style. I haven't dug that deep into elementalist yet, but I know they are quite flexible due to their attunement ability. WvW is PVP, so you can't really predict what will be most useful. Damage, defense, healing? Or maybe a mix? Tho, again, it boils down to your play style.
I'd dare say, due to elementalist's flexibility, it is better to just pick a race, and prepare a spec around that. Tho according to the wiki, majority of races have somewhat similar racials in therms of defense and offence.
Answer 3
Based on skills alone, I find Asura to have the most useful racial skills: Radiation Field
Weakness on a 15s field is pretty useful.
The poison field can be useful, but I think you have enough other fields as an Elementalist.
