Definitely going to be playing

Definitely going to be playing a human warrior as my main, maybe an Asuran thief as an alt? What were the thieves like? Didn't get a chance to play it during the BWE's

I will deffently do a theif as my main. But not sure on the necro, ive asked if any1 is doing one and why. But still no further forward

I tried a necro, and it wasn't quite my thing. They lack some burst damage but make it up by just overwhelming enemies with conditions, and removing conditions from yourself/allies. They also have higher health of all the casters, and if built right and using death shroud they can even be made tanky and hard to kill.

I just wasn't a fan of the pets and lack of some burst, but it's still a great class and is very useful as part of a group.

The Immortals have closed recruitment, we will look at opening it again once the game is out.

Was pretty much set of Thief, then got a bit frustrated on how tricky melee is to play below a certain framerate in GW. Started eyeing up a Ranger, which looked awesome and the best of both worlds in terms of melee/ranged. Watched a video of a Guardian smashing around with a 2H Mace last night, followed by a Mesmer .... and now I'm back to square one again!

Too many awesome professions!

I have that problem, but I suffer from a severe case of class envy syndrome. That said, I like to be hard to kill and I think a guardian might suit me there...

You can amuse yourself no end in WvW on a Thief even at pretty shoddy FPS. Use shadowstep. When it's off cooldown look for the guy below 50% hp in their zerg, shadow step into the middle of them all, take him down, finish him and do the return shadowstep before anyone even realises what's happened

Is the the their going to be the most played class???????

Spektor · 17 Aug 2012 at 15:35

Warrior / Elementalist I imagine. I know Engineer / Mesmer are the least played.

Think warriors & rangers will be the most played, followed by guardians & Mesmer/Elementalist.

They are sooooo hard to kill with port :eek:

Nemeses · 17 Aug 2012 at 15:47

I forgot thiefs in my list think they will be almost as popular as guradians.

clartymarty · 17 Aug 2012 at 15:50

Bah lol nevermind I will still play one

Not sure on my alt though.

Nimdok · 17 Aug 2012 at 15:52

I thought there'd be more love for Engineers and Necromancers

Snograt · 17 Aug 2012 at 15:55

Pfft, warrior for me.

I always start any game of this type with a warrior. Asura make cute ones too - especially ickle girly Asura with blond pigtails

Both viewed as Under powered, not sure why as they very good for what they do, Condition necros hurt, and I'm sure its the same with engineers!

But people like the the toon of the moment!
