    Mesmer most certainly.  It's more fun then should be legally allowed in a game.

    Then Engineer and Guardian.

    Then, not too sure, but probably Elementalist and Warrior.

    Who am I kidding, I'm sure I'll pay the money to get all 8 slots eventually.  Every profession looks to be fun in some way.

    Warrior for traditional gamers who are used to seeing 50+ skills cluttering up your UI. Lots of skills so you never get bored with a limited skillset

    Too many mains? NEVER! :)

    I need to buy slots for my alts now.

    This is one of my favorite posts EVER :D

    Thief... *vanishes in a puff of smoke*
  • Eir_SEir_S Member UncommonPosts: 4,440

    I'm noticing that the thief is less popular than it used to be; ANet needs to make it more user-friendly.  I'm not one of the big thief fans, but I know a few people who were extremely disappointed.

    Anyway, Warrior for me.  I might change my mind at the last minute to Guardian, but I don't know.

    Dont give people an "undecided" option..its gives them a way out..

     

    make em choose!

     

    I chose Mesmer.

     

    the unpopularity of the Thief is intriguing me though.That said,these polls will never be accurate enough anyways.

    No dervish = no win for me. I'll wait till they release dervishes to play. Eh I'm just being bitter. Voted ranger cause great sword rangers are awesome :3

    Ranger.

    In every MMO, I have been a ranger

    In every RPG i've played, I have been a ranger (Even the D&D Board Game)

    In real life, I like archery.

    Ranger just seemed to fit for me, and my race will be Charr, for I have always admired them in GW1 and now I finally get to play one.

    NOTE: I have not played a ranger or a charr yet because I wanted to keep everything fresh about them. SO I HOPES IT WAS WORTH IT!

    When I read the poll question I immediately went Spartan in my head.

     

    A-HOO! A-HOO! A-HOO!

     

    edit:

    Engineer btw. ... I tried the combination "asura engineer" one weekend because I thought "what combination would you normally never EVER play?" to try out something new. ... boy did I fall in love with the asura and the engineer. It's now my main.

    Sylvari Elementalist and Asura Engineer. The ele I had in mind as a main for years but liked the engi so much during bwe's / stresstests that I'm undecided between the 2 now and at first will try to play them equally much. I'm not in a rush anyways as there's so much stuff to do and explore so I don't see the point in sticking to 1 main and only at level cap start rolling alts.

    Just a month ago, Ranger was trailing far behind Warrior, Elementalist and Guardian.

     

    What happened?  They are in the lead now?

    I predict an overpopulatian of Asura at release of the game, tough i am pretty sure over the long run humans will as allways be the most played race.

    Wow, pretty surprised by the population spread.

    Last poll I saw put necros & rangers on the bottom of the interest spectrum. Now ranger looks to be the most popular, with necro being on par w/ most of the other professions. Very interesting, indeed.

    Human Female Necromancer here.

    During 1st BW I rolled a charr necro and hated it, in fact I was seriously worried the game I had been waiting 5yrs for was not the game for me. However to keep playing with my friends for the weekend I decided to try a human thief and OMG!! it was awesome best fun I have had in an MMO in years.

    So BWe2 I developed my thief further and in the last 4hrs of the Beta decided what the hell lets see what a human necro is like and now I am totally sold!! I have now tried every class every race and human Necro was 100% me cant wait to get her started for real.

    can't make up my mind.

    You should, of course, go Sylvari Necromancer....

    ....not that I'm bias at all....

  • ZylaxxZylaxx Member Posts: 2,574
    Human or Norn Warrior (most likely Human since I like the smaller stature more) as my main and a Sylvari Thief as my alt.

    I hate all caster classes in every game ever yet I found myself loving the Elementalist in GW2 is definitely on my list for an alt.

  • BijouBijou Member UncommonPosts: 145

    (Norn) Ranger will be my main.
    Sword+Warhorn/Dagger and Shortbow as main weapons (other weapons for fun).

  • BadSpockBadSpock Member UncommonPosts: 7,979

    I thought we'd see the typical "Mage/Fighter/Archer" as the top three, but Engineer has thus far topped Elementalist!

    Warrior/Ranger are no surprise.
