OK, so most who are fans/watching/waiting on GW2 have probably had a chance to play the game in either the three weekend events and/or the stress tests.

Many/most have probably tried out a bunch of different Professions, and hopefully most have picked their "main" if not their first toon.

So now, a week from launch, WHAT IS YOUR PROFESSION?

I love polls. (no sarcasm involved!)

Warrior

I long debated between Warrior and Guardian, but finally settled on Guardian after much, much, much consideration.

I like the utility/support for PvE and WvW.

Elementalist. Almost certain. (Warrior a close second).

I was a little concerned at it being one of the most popular professions in many polls. Also, I will be rolling a Human Elementalist and I know that's a very popular choice for the race. however, I also know from game experience that elementalist is a challenging class to play and become adept at, so I figure a fair percentage of early Elementalists will probably be shelved for something easier, so I think a few months down the road the population distribution among the 8 professions will be different than at launch.

Thief will be my main for sure. Elementalist will be my other main. Then I'll have my Asura Necro and my Charr Warrior (or maybe guardian) as my other other mains. Then I will certainly have a Norn Ranger as my last Main.

Too many mains? NEVER! :)

I need to buy slots for my alts now.

Need lots of votes to be statistically relevant(ish).

Keep 'em coming.

So is it weapon choice / skills that determines what class you like/pick, or more of the "theme" of the Profession?

Almost certainly an Elementalist. 

Small chance of going Guardian though....

[Edit] "So is it weapon choice / skills that determines what class you like/pick, or more of the "theme" of the Profession?"

The theme of the Elementalist interested me long before the Betas.  Having had some time to play it, it just felt natural, and very versatile.  I enjoyed trying out a Guardian as well, but  I never really got the hang of it in the time available.

For me it's the overall theme I think. The weapons do matter to me though, as do the skill animations and stuff like that.  But it all comes together to make up the theme for me :)

Moved over to a Thief , not sure on race yet ....... I'm thinking big.

Oh yeah ....

What is your profession?

Really was just what class I enjoyed the most from beta. Plus I've alway's liked the charr.

For me it really is a combination of theme and weapon/skill choice.

I love melee, I love heavy armor, I love the "Holy power/energy" kind of thing they got going on - burning people with holy power in cool blue flames is just bad ass.

I voted Thief, but had the same debate Warrior VS Guardian as 2nd char. I finally went for Warrior, because... helping people be damned! People are ungrateful lots, and the Guardian shields... people run like silly away anywhoo. But then, maybe it works, teh. I chose Warrior for the versatile fun, and because of the noisy rifle. BOOM BOOM ^^

Not sure if I can stomach Thief. I will try it as main, but maybe Warrior will take over.

Ele was just too strenuous. Always circling the mobs... zzzzz Not my style. Pity, loved the magic animations. Same with Ranger. Cool idea = pet, but imvpo lame powers.

Guardian is a lot more fun if played as more than a support character but as a crazy 2H wielding righteous holy warrior - who also happens to be hard to kill and provide aid to his/her allies.
