GW2 Gaf, what's going to be your main class?

I've been picking Ranger but honestly I have no idea. I do know my 5(6) classes though. Ranger, Engineer, Elementalist, Warrior, Necro/Mesmer
 
I'm still bitter we can dual class like GW1 and cant select from hundreds of skills for lots of builds, I would of gone Ranger Warrior for sure.

I guess I will settle for a Mesmer despite being nothing like GW1.
 
Ranger leading the poll currently. Wish I had more time to play that class. Only played for like 30 minutes this past stress test. Personally going guardian
 
Elementalist first, later Necromancer.

I've spent my entire life playing hunters in WoW, time to give the ranger bit a rest.
 
At this point, I will start with a Guardian and level up a Mesmer alt quickly.

Edit: Maybe a Necro instead of the Mesmer. Shall see, shall see.
 
I'm going to main a necro. I've been enjoying the class the past few BWEs even if they are a little odd in the builds department.

I'll be interested to see what ANet comes up with come release since there's supposed to be some traits reworking. I wish I could theory craft on builds but it seems pointless when I know they are going to be different come release.

I'll probably end up alting a warrior just to break it up a bit.
 
I always play the Archer type, so I'm gonna try Ranger first. Didn't get a good impression of it with the little time I spent in beta. If Ranger turns out to be too pet-focused, I'll try Warrior with a longbow.

Engineer sounds cool but the flavor of the class just doesn't interest me.
 
I haven't played yet, but I wish there was some sort of nature/shapeshifting class.

Right now I'm looking at necromancer, elementalist, engineer, or warrior.
 
Guardian


But do we really need a separate thread for someone's self made "what class will you play?" poll? Why not just post your poll in the GW2 Launch Date thread?


Now how about another separate thread for "what race will you play?" poll.
 
Necromancer since it was my main class in GW1 and I simply just love the class.

I enjoyed playing Engineer though so I'm thinking that'll be my sub.

I still need to decide on my Necro's race though. I like Charr but don't really like the look of armour on them!
 
I have no clue even the skills or the classes. Kept myself on media blackout and choosing what looks best once game is released.
 
I've seen these polls on multiple communities and it is absolutely fascinating to see the wild swings in class selection from site to site. I mean Warriors are in last place here, where they've been #1 or #2 in nearly every other poll I've seen. Thief is leading here, when they've fallen to bottom 3 almost everywhere else.

I'm going Thief.
 
I cannot answer the poll because I cannot choose a main between Thief, Engineer, and Mesmer. Each profession is too damn fun.
 
Leaning towards Mesmer here, since it was my GW1 main. Kind of want to try all the classes at least once though! Wish I had more time to test them out during the previous beta weekend, and I totally missed the stress test. :(
 
I spent most of my time in GW1 as an elementalist, and I shall do the same here.

Actually, I might have to rethink that. I'll be playing this with my girlfriend, and when she played Diablo, she liked the spellcaster the best. So I might let her play as the elementalist, and I'll roll as engineer.
 
Elementalist. But I'll probably end up having a few characters I'll switch between over the first couple of days.

No massive rush to decide which one to main. I just don't want to regret it later on.
 
I'm pretty tempted to go Mesmer just because they're going to see the most changes early on. However I'll probably play it safe and just go with Thief.
 
I haven't played a single beta weekend and have no idea how the classes actually play, but after watching youtube videos I settled on Engineer, that one just looked the most fun and diverse.
 
Elementalist because in every game that I've ever played that had a Wizzy/Elementalist class, I've always chosen it as my main.

It's a tossup between all the other classes for my secondary character. Can't choose for the life of me, they all seem great to try.
 
Toss up between ranger, engineer, or thief. Main in GW1 was a ranger, but I like the gameplay of the engineer and theif as well. Not sure, yet.
 
Whichever character is less twitch. I didn't do well in TOR with a million different keys and spam jumping around. I know GW2 doesn't have that many keys so maybe it is a non issue. I'm thinking of an engineer but as I haven't been in any of the betas I cant' say for sure.
