Poll: What will you be in GW2?

I don't know if a thread like this has been made yet, but I'm curious - when Guild Wars 2 arrives (even though it's still a long way off), what race/profession will you go as? I'm guessing they'll be similar to World of Warcraft, where you pick a race and a profession, but the race will have the primary attribute instead. I've decided to make one character for each new race (hopefully there will be like 4 character slots added, like with the first Guild Wars), but my main is going to be a sylvari/ranger. I also want a Norn/mesmer who does domination magic. I don't know about the Asura or Charr yet, but I'm leaning toward an elementalist for one and maybe a monk or warrior for the other. Or necromancer. hehe What about everyone else?

It is way too early to tell. I doubt the devs even know what classes will be in GW2. Also, this statement makes me suspect a trolling atempt:

Asura/Sin, then i would lol people to death. *and gnaw their ears off.

Why would Jeff Strain announce that it's a bad business decision to make a game like some other game but better, then turn around and get GW2 to be like WoW?

No, GW2 won't me like WoW. Also, I'd say we'd have the 10 classes we have now. Races, I dunno, they might have races. I know what I will play though, assuming they have them:

Ranger, Monk, Warrior, Mesmer, Assassin, Necromancer, Dervish and Elementalist.

sylvari/rit

and Sekkira it as been confirmed that there are playable races.

my assassin's legacy must live on!

btw, what's a sylvari?

^You must be kidding right? Wiki it :P

Sylvari/Mo here.

a nonexistant class
as my presence in gw2 will be nonexistant

lo0l I'm clevur

Two warriors, Charr and Human, probably. I love em so much!

Asura/Elementalist. I dunno why, but I just love those egotistical li'l guys.

Never used to play caster classes until I played GW either, but somehow I've developed a fondness for the Elementalist proffesion.

Probably asuran monk.

Well I meant like WOW as in race/profession. Or class/whatever they use. Althought it's been confirmed that yes there are playable races, and yes we'll be able to jump, climb, swim, etc. But I think it'll still be better because Guild Wars is free! hehe

At first I thought I'd be a Charr ritualist. Although this is still a strong possibility, especially after seeing how cool they look in EotN, I'm considering a Sylvari instead. But my first character will almost definitely be a rit (assuming they use the same classes as GW1). Otherwise, I might do a ranger of some sort. Or a dervish. My three favourite professions in GW1, hopefully they'll exist in GW2 as well.

A sylvari is a race we didn't get to see (at least not much of) in GWEN that will be playable in Guild Wars 2. They're supposed to have a special connection to plants and know nothing of hate and pain. Here is a picture of one.



I think more info is on guildwiki hehe

Edit: Wow it wasn't supposed to be that big. I can't resize it. lol Sorry.

You mean like the typical D&D style of building a character? WoW was hardly one to do it first -_-

Sylvari or Charr/Mesmer

(if theyr still around )

Ah, well I don't call myself a gamer, as Guild Wars is the only game I play. Online anyway. So I'm not sure about all that. I just know my fiance also plays WoW so I was just using it as an example.

You know, if you EVER bothered to buy the PC Gamer magazine of may 2007, you would have noticed that the dual profession system is staying. They are just adding a NEW attribute with it's own skills based on your RACE as well. Although it is not specified what those professions will be, and whether the Factions and Nightfall professions would be introduced with release. I mean they have to keep SOMETHINGS for EXPANSIONS right? Tyria first, maybe Elona next and Cantha expanded after?

Personally, I'll make a Human Necro, Charr Warrior, and Sylvari Assassin, maybe Asura Elementalist, and Norn something.

*o* wow that's beautiful...

lol I didn't even take into consideration that human may also be a playable race in Guild Wars 2. I assume they would be, but then again, I don't know. Maybe it'll only focus on the new ones. But I'll definately be a human too if they exist! Even if it means buying another character slot so I'll have one of each race. hehe
