Opinions might change after playing the beta, but what are you probably going to start with at launch/beta?

I'll be starting with a Mesmer.

    Thief. Guardian is my backup.

    Does the thief actually steal stuff?

    They steal stuff to be used in combat. For instance, you might steal an item that give you the ability to blind the enemy for a period of time. As far as I know they dont steal coin or rewards, could be wrong on that though.

    For the beta I plan to try out the necro, mesmer, and thief. Maybe elementalist and engineer if I play that much.
  • TushonTushon I'm scared, Coach Alexandria, VA Icrontian
    I was interested in several of them, chiefly elementalist, necro, guardian, and thief, but will probably be trying out all of them eventually.

    I'm leaning heavily toward Ranger with Mesmer as my go-to if Ranger does not cut it.

    Engineer for guns, turrets and flamethrowers

    and Thief for stealing and stealth. also guns
  • CBCB Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Der Millionendorf- Icrontian
    I think I'm leaning toward Engineer, but it depends on what the other Mitey Worriers want to play, since I'll be playing through, mostly, with them.

    hmmmm...professions sound intersting. Never played this game before, maybe give it a try?

    Is gigolo an option?

    They steal stuff to be used in combat, for instance you might steel an item that give you the ability to blind the mob for a period of time. As far as I know they dont steal coin or rewards.

    As with GWGOTY I'm likely going to play Elementalist I play a wizard type character in basically every fantasy game and GW is no different.

    Other option is a ranger, I haven't much looked into the other classes.
  • CrazyJoeCrazyJoe Winter Springs, FL Icrontian
    Most likely I'll play Necromancer. I had fun with that in the original.
  • SnarkasmSnarkasm Madison, WI Icrontian
    Thief.

    Post release announcement buuuuump. What are we looking at peeps? With only one BWE to go I would assume people are getting a better idea of what they want to play.

    I am now 90% sure I am playing Necromancer. The only thing that would change this is a dramatic change in the class that would make it an entirely different style.

    After BWE3 I'll do some sort of professional finality thread to get a comprehensive list of everyone's mains.
  • GnomeQueenGnomeQueen The Lulz Queen Mountain Dew Mouth Icrontian
    What's BWE?

    Also, I'm not seeing a healing class....do all classes heal a little bit?
  • SpencerForHireSpencerForHire Clawson, MI
    @GnomeQueen A BWE is a "beta weekend event" once a month, before release, we get to play for a weekend to help test the game... You have to win a beta key or preorder the game to do so.

    Also, I'm not seeing a healing class....do all classes heal a little bit?
    All classes heal themselves, and most (all?) have some sort of AOE healing/group healing they can invest points in. (I think the entire statement is true)
  • GnomeQueenGnomeQueen The Lulz Queen Mountain Dew Mouth Icrontian
    Yea, Spencer talked me through the classes. Not sure what I'm going to do.
  • UPSLynxUPSLynx :KAPPA: Redwood City, CA Icrontian
    I'm probably leaning Elementalist.
  • TiberiusLazarusTiberiusLazarus Icrontian
    I'm torn between ele and thief. Might just do both.
    pragtastic
  • fatcatfatcat Mizzou Icrontian
    Ranger and Thief
  • MAGICMAGIC Doot Doot Furniture City, Michigan Icrontian
    So can any race be in the same group?
  • SpencerForHireSpencerForHire Clawson, MI
    Yes, you can actually go to any starting area after the opening event.
  • brightbright Icrontian
    If I get Guild Wars 2 I will be a(n) asura/norn/sylvari as a(n) elementalist/engineer/thief/mesmer/necromancer.

    bright said:

    I see; it is all so clear
  • brightbright Icrontian
    I've worked it out to be slightly clearer. Norn Mesmer Illusions, Sylvari Elementalist (Fire/Wind), Asura Engineer (unless asura turn out to be not pretty then sylvari or norn engineer), Norn or Sylvari Thief, Norn or Sylvari Necromancer.
  • SpencerForHireSpencerForHire Clawson, MI
    As far as your mesmer and elementalist setup, there really isn't room to exclude yourself to those sub types. You ahve access to all 4 attunements at a time with elementalist and all Mesmer builds feature some illusions.
  • brightbright Icrontian
    I know, I'm over-thinking things that I believe aren't even finalized, but so far that's where I'm leaning/most interested in.
  • MAGICMAGIC Doot Doot Furniture City, Michigan Icrontian
    Ill be trying guardian an mesmer. Charr.
