Which race and profession will *you* start out as in GW2?
X of Thulcandra
It will be a tough decision for me. How about you?
<---Cannot wait to start over COMPLETELY.
Edit: Yes, I know nothing has been written in stone.

Either a Ritualist, Paragon, or Monk. At this point I don't really care about races because we don't know all of them for sure yet.

Charr. Warrior.
RAWR!!
RAWR!!
Skuld
Charr shaman!!!!!
Elena
A black charr necromancer rar!

I'll most likely just stick with a human for my main character, but I'm really dying to make a Charr as well. I'll most likely make a character for each of the races.
Not sure about the proffessions yet though, it sounds like they may be changing them up quite a bit, so I'm going to wait and see before I decide.

Charr or Norn warrior or elementalist would pwn!
Lacroix
I'm probably going to run Sylvari or Human. As for class, if they keep the Ritualist, I'll be going for that. If not, Elementalist.
EPO Bot
Another cute human monk!
Ginko
Assuming all the classes are intact:
1) Charr Elementalist
2) Human Mesmer
3) Asura Necromancer
4) Sylvari Monk
5) Charr Ritualist
6) Norn Warrior
7) Asura Dervish
8) Human Paragon
9) Charr Assassin
10) Norn Ranger
In that order.
Charr > all.

Charr assassin woooo

BlackSephir
Probably Assassin (if there will be any) human, slayer of asuras -,-
Vilaptca
Charr Necromancer
Norn Warrior
Asura Elementalist
Norn Warrior
Asura Elementalist

We don't even know the professions yet (they said they will condense professions), or if any professions are race exclusive! This is incredible speculation...
HawkofStorms
As people pointed out, we aren't even sure if the classes will stay intact.
Anyway, for me it will really depend on a few things (will the different races start out in different places, will they have certain inherient bonuses, what will my friends be doing, etc).

Yes, but it is fun to imagine. :-)
Milennin
Human Warrior, but if I had to pick another race probably Sylvari or Norn.
Eldin
Well I'm most likely to make a ranger as my first char, since they are just plain awesome. I am just going to make a list of what races I will choose for each profession, if I even use some of those professions:
Ranger - Charr (RAWR!)
Warrior - Norn
Monk - Sylvari
Mesmer - Asura (Bwahahaha!)
Elementalist - Charr (Guess what element?)
Necromancer - Human (But only if they update their looks to look more magey and less "7 foot hunched over freak wearing action figure armor")
Assassin - Asura (2 foot tall ninja of DOOM!)
Ritualist - Sylvari
Paragon - Norn
Dervish - Human
Ranger - Charr (RAWR!)
Warrior - Norn
Monk - Sylvari
Mesmer - Asura (Bwahahaha!)
Elementalist - Charr (Guess what element?)
Necromancer - Human (But only if they update their looks to look more magey and less "7 foot hunched over freak wearing action figure armor")
Assassin - Asura (2 foot tall ninja of DOOM!)
Ritualist - Sylvari
Paragon - Norn
Dervish - Human
Onarik Amrak
Hmmm
Ranger - Tengu (if possible)
Warrior - Human/Norn/Charr
Monk - Asura/Sylvari
Mesmer - Sylvari
Elementalist - Sylvari
Necromancer - Asura
Assassin - Tengu (If possible)
Ritualist - Norn
Paragon - Sylvari
Dervish - Charr
Pleeeease TENGU!
Ranger - Tengu (if possible)
Warrior - Human/Norn/Charr
Monk - Asura/Sylvari
Mesmer - Sylvari
Elementalist - Sylvari
Necromancer - Asura
Assassin - Tengu (If possible)
Ritualist - Norn
Paragon - Sylvari
Dervish - Charr
Pleeeease TENGU!

Dj Tano
We dont really know anything about gw2 to be able to say sth like tht, so why bother?
jetblacknewyear
it's fun to speculate. people stop ruining all the fun!
Onarik Amrak
It also gives an insight into how people view the races and how they see the professions in relation to the races. But, maybe that's a little too cerebral for a forum.
vergerefosh
If possible, Asura Warrior
Asura Battle stance FTW

Asura are probably short and creepy. T_T Like munchkins or something. And I bet there'll be lots of them. Count me out.
We don't know the professions, but I assume since it is an RPG there will be "melee" "healer" "wizard-type" "archer type" and so on...Myself, I'd probably make a human (yay for average!) spellcaster of some kind...and then a Charr melee or ranged character (Rawr!). Don't even know what the Norn and Sylvari look like, so I can't even say if I'd make a character for one or both of those or not. If I don't like them, then the others will be humans or Charr. Overall, assuming four slots: 1-2 Charr, 2-3 humans, Melee, Ranged, Spellcaster, Spellcaster.

Probably an Azura Monk

Human Minstrel, killing enemies by playing a lute is a really hillarious twist in my opinion.
X of Thulcandra
I doubt there will be alot of Asuras, since about 90% of the people in the Asura minipet thread bashed the critter.
Envious
Charr or Norn Warrior
Asura Monk
Human Dervish
In no particular order.
Asura Monk
Human Dervish

Steps Ascending
Mes or rit, human or sylvan. Maybe asura if they are rare enough
hmmm.... war asura... Cant wait to see one.
By the way, I think no one here will be surprised if some classes diseapear. People just mean the closest match.

Curse You
Human Necromancer, named... Curse You. How does this make sense? He's a descendant, who was named for his ancestor.
Then probably an Asura Warrior. I'd love seeing a two foot tall thing tanking mobs.
Also, Charr Monk or Elementalist, assuming they use similar models to the Shaman or Fire Caller.

An Asura Warrior with a shield taller than he is would be pretty cool I guess...

I plan on being a norn don't know if I will go for others deffently will try them out to see how they play but a norn might be the best for farming and since its kinda hinted that they will have attribute based proffessions like a normal MMO I don't know how things will work with the professions. Who knows maybe the norn is the Wammo lol
SuTih Ithink its some where in the PC gamer but not to sure where and If I'm talking out my A$$

human monk for the sake of starting off with something familiar.
Commander Ryker
I agree with Eldin, rangers are awesome and that will be the first one I make this time. And, it will be human. Actually, I'm going to make all my guys human.
