So alot of people are thinking of playing multiple professions. How will you do this if I may ask? Will you grind them all til 80 (auch)? I always stick to 1 character in mmo, but GW2 made it damn hard, so I decided to main ele for lvl 80 grinding (pve/wvwvw) while having thief just for sPvP/tPvP and nothing else. Can't be bothered leveling twice.

well i'll level at least 3 chars from 1 to 80 because leveling is the most fun in my opinion xD there are still people left that like the adventure while progressing and not only endgame grinding

you are right, but did you notice that the admin added the poll after!! i created my thread look at the date and the time.. it was half an hour after, so he also could have added the poll to this thread.. because unfortunately the other thread seems to be dead while in this one still some are active and it develops

but well.. doesn'T care because i would be fine if they close this thread, but only as long as everyone would use the other one with the poll and use the poll

it just sucks that the thread and the poll is in another subforum and not in tyrian assembly as all other general polls are -.- damn someone really did everything wrong on this

Yeah,  oh well,  a month then i'll live on the official forums.
A poll to see how the profession choice has shifted between pre beta and the end of BWE3 would be interesting. I started out liking Mesmer then Thief then settled on then Ranger.

Well still picking.

Eng is very cool and i had a blast, but elementalists are freaking OP and guardians get heavy armor that is looking awesome.

So im still picking but for now , eng.

[Epic_Bear_Guy]

The engineer..and "maybe" a ranger as an alt afterwards.

[MuscarKrone]

Guardian

[Ranko]

If I stick to my current mindset, I'll be playing them in this order.

1. Guardian
2. Warrior
3. Mesmer
4. Ranger
5. Engineer
6. Elementalist
7. Thief
8. Necromancer

[The Gatecrasher]

Warrior. I am also theory crafting offensive Guardian Scepter builds unfortunatley to no avail. If none of those work out for me It will very likely be a thief.

[1ndigo]

my first class will be an ele or maybe a mesmer

[Maffis91]

Necromancer. I have not decided on which race however. So hard to choose.

[MustacheBandit]

i was going to be warrior but after playing one in the last bwe, they are way too powerful and I feel are going to get hit with a nerf bat. i will likely play a lesser played profession such as engineer, mesmer, or necro knowing that they will only get better after a few patches.

[Baraccus]

1. Guardian- this will be my main profession of course
2. Mesmer or Engineer
3. Thief
4. Elementalist or Warrior

[Illumy]

I am stuck between Necro and Ele. At least i know it's gonna be a Sylvari. ^^

[FSnake]

I will be playing all 8 professions along with 5 races but my main will be a Human Thief.

[logoso321]

Human necro, gonna ruin some people's days in WvW. Ironically, my secondary character will be a guardian with a condition removal role.

[PseudoLegendary]

Elementalist because they are the closest thing to a Battle Mage (Dagger/Dagger).

[spergburger]

Engineer.

And, as cliché as it sounds, with bombs and grenades. Both kits.

[Rorigon]

Well...I've changed my mind.   Again, lol.

I was using the Stress Test to double check whether Thief was really the class I want to play at launch, and I found the class to be far less entertaining in PvE than in the last BWE.   Maybe it was the change in difficulty making fights last longer, but I suddenly felt like I was playing with one hand tied behind my back because initiative doesn't regenerate at all on weapon swaps.  So I ended up feeling like I was having to conserve my initiative far more than I remember.   I also had to use way more stalling tactics than I remembered so that I could actually continue fighting.

It's not like I was constantly getting downed, but I WAS finding initiative far more restrictive than I'd remembered.

So I switched to my Engineer, and despite the backpacks that come with kits driving me insane and not being a huge fan of the lack of a regular melee weapon, I LOVED it.  I mean, I enjoyed it during the last BWE, but it really felt great this time around, great enough that I can overlook those gripes.    I really enjoy the variety that the class gives, and the fact that you're almost never stuck sitting on your hands because of cooldowns or initiative.   I also like that there's more variety in terms of support.

[PseudoLegendary]

Now that my friends have decided to play GW2 I'll be rolling Guardian instead of Elementalist.  I managed to make a pretty cool "Healer" build.
