I did a poll on this back in Dec '06 with surprising (at that time) results. Let's see if trends have changed.

Dec '06 Results (1107 responders): Warrior, Ranger, Ele, Necro, Mesmer, Monk, Assassin, Ritualist, Dervish, Paragon
Surprise was the low result for Monks and the high one for Mesmers.

Now it seems you can't do a poll with the list of professions, so we will have to do this the hard way.

Warrior for me

====================
Current Results through post #323, total of 310 responses

Assassin - 7
Dervish - 3
Elementalist - 68
Mesmer - 23
Monk - 16
Necromancer - 45
Paragon - 1
Ranger - 80
Ritualist - 4
Warrior - 63

So this time around it is: Ranger, Ele, Warrior, Necro, Mesmer, Monk, Assassin, Ritualist, Dervish and Paragon.
Basically, it seems warriors came out less popular, but not a lot of change overall.

Thanks for your help.

Elementalist. Just an Elementalist, no matter what else I tried, I always ended up going back to that.

Elementalist. Not long after, I created a warrior who's still my main. The only elementalist I have is still in pre-searing.

A ranger. Peculiarly, my guild leader, ex and his uni friends all chose ranger as their first profession.

I flare spammed a lot, if I recall.

... Needless to say, I ditched her and made a ritualist less than a week later.

Bought the game because of rangers.
Made one, brought him to the catacombs, chose necro secondary, raised my first stiffy and never looked back.
Deleted the ranger - made a necro.

My necros are rarely played these days.

What were the results of the original?

My first character ever was a Necromancer/Ranger who made it all the way to Yak's Bend before I deleted. Didn't know how to play Necro back then (using all Blood degen, and pet?!?)

Next was a Mesmer/Elementalist, who I Ascended with but never "completed" the Prophecy storyline. "Fast Cast Nuker LFG"

Finally, a Warrior was my first character to finish Prophecies, and then went on to Cantha and Elona. She's still my main: Amara Dawnbreaker. Started as Warrior/Monk, changed to Warrior/Ranger as quick as I Ascended. Now I play around with all secondaries.

My first character was a Ranger, who languished at level five for ages. And yes, I was the typical Firestorming noob Ranger

I finally finished leveling her up pretty recently, and gave her a complete makeover.

Mesmer. Had to delete once I got my own account, then made another mesmer as my "second first" if you will. Why I deleted it AGAIN and made a ranger, I have no idea. Mesmer #3 was crated shortly thereafter XD

My main was and still is a Ritualist. I've played through all the campaigns on it and even though I'm focusing more on my other characters, I still play it the most and do anything of consequence on it.
