Necro. Because Soul Reaping in PVE is imba...
It means you can run Rit, Mo,Mes, Ele (w/o exhaustion) skills and even Paragon skills (except TNTF and SY).
But if you don't want to wait for a monk, play one.
I would say Rit also, but everyone and their uncle runs SoS and all their builds are boring (splinter spam, ST, SOGM spirit spam, SoS spirit spam)

I've never really found out. My "main" I kind of got locked into because it was the character that got survivor... to do survivor I had to do alot of elite skill capping... after getting survivor I found myself about 40% into the legendary skillhunter title, so I just had to finish that... well, turned out that I got the first title of kind of a big deal, so I sort of had to finish the monster that I created... 1.5 years later I finally got enough done for the GWAMM title track that I can expiriment with the other classes.
Personally I really enjoy the Warrior when grouping with others. You don't have to worry about dragging dumbass heroes and henchies to their deaths as much. Also really fond of the Ele for heals. Still like my main Para when hero/henching, as his midline status is ideal for keeping bots under control.

Probably necro for casters and sin for physicals.
Entirely based on preference though, so not much point asking without some sort of outline based on other games you've played and the characters you enjoyed playing.

If I could my Main Warrior would be necromancer due to versatility .
Other then that I absolutely love my warrior for damage, tanking etc

My main is my Mesmer - challenging and fun to play.
I'm going through the stuff with a ritualist, but I'm not finding much incentive to explore the profession beyond the SoS "no thinking involved" mode.

depends on your play style...some people like the bash the snot out of others--so melee classes are their preference....others like to do support--so monks or paragons get some mention, others like to do the 'magic' like stuff--so elementalists get mentioned, etc
my main, dont have one, I have several--I play ele, monk, rit, necro and mesmer, as my main characters.

My main's an Ele tied with Rit. I kinda liked Rits with their jack-of-all-trades and such.

My main was something that just happened. I played randomly a lot of characters, new campaigns with new characters. I ended with a Warrior as main after 3, or so, years playing, even when that profession is not exactly the best for me. I think the best are Ranger and Necro, but is too late, sadly, I am not playing hundreds of hours again to accomplish things my Warrior already have.

I expected to find the Ranger would be my favourite but that was based on rpg games I had played on and off the computer.
GW ranger turned out to be totally different to how I imagined them being too weak in combat.
Then I thought maybe Monk but again I was thinking maybe martial arts style combat monks but nope and even the double effect holy damage was a waste since huge armies of undead are scarce.
Then I discovered the Necro and found my niche, you simply cannot get around the buzz of gaining strength no matter who dies you revel in it.
esp if your a minion master.
1 dead enemy equals 1 ally for me 1 dead party member means one more for my army.
Others I find good to play in order of preference are the Ritualist Paragon Dervish and Ele

I love playing my Necromancer and she has been my main since I got the game. But be warned: Once you get used to Soul Reaping, it's hard to remember that your other characters (who aren't Necromancer primaries) don't have it. You can pretty much spam whatever you want, and as long as SOMETHING is dying SOMEWHERE, you'll never run out of energy.
Ranger is definitely my second favorite class to play. It's easy to get started in, everyone knows what to expect from a Hunter/Ranger class. They can do a pretty decent amount of damage, and their armor looks really cool!

Mesmer and Necromancer have the most diversity. Mesmer is probably harder, even though there both pretty easy. I'd say Mesmer.

I think the best way to figure this out is to try a few classes out and see which one best suits your play style and interests.
For me, that means Ranger, but it's different for everyone.

If you want to go for something like GWAMM on your "main" then I'd suggest choosing Necro, Mesmer, Rit or Monk. I personally am a pretty terrible at monking unless I play my monk non-stop, so if you're like me go with one of the other three. Each of these can do pretty much whatever you want in HM with H/H with ease, which makes title seeking that much easier. Physical profs kinda get the shaft in HM, (but not as much as eles of course), though doing stuff with em is still not so bad. I personally have chosen Mesmer, because the profession is so unique and because basically all mesmer damage is armor ignoring.
If you're not going for titles.... well meh. Don't even bother picking a main in that case, just play whatever is fun at the moment. Get one of every prof through everything... then you can do whatever you want on whatever char you want. Getting heavy packs is a lot easier when you have 10 chars that can do all the z-quests. Plus that way you can learn pretty much any farm that exists, and you'll always have a char of the profession in need.

My "main" is a Ranger. He was my first character, and for a few years he was the one I played most. Therefore, he was the one that had the most stuff done, and had the most titles. He currently has 26 titles, and may eventually have 27 because I'm slowly getting to the max "chest opening" title (I have a little over 9500 chests opened). He could get GWAMM if I could bother to spend the time and gold getting sweettooth, party animal, wisdom, and treasure hunter.
However, I'd really have to call my Rit my "main" character these days as it's the one I play the most. Next most used to that are my Monk and Mesmer. I don't actually play my Ranger much lately, except to burn off what few sweets and party items I get.
So, the bottom line is - any character class can get GWAMM, if that's something you're interested in. The main thing would be to pick the class you enjoy playing the most. And, I suggest you try as many classes as possible, before you decide on a main.

My main is a ranger. I love bow attacks and pets! After starting many characters, I personally have found out I don't like playing melee... I do find playing casters is enjoyable, but I just keep coming back to my good old Ranger.
Tender Care
My main is Paragon, even if with my assa i can do most speed clears existing in the game.
So: paragon is more constructive character, you got a lot of choices for skill combos and is always welcome in most high-end pve areas. Paragon is a versatile character, but to be funny u must have a good knowledge of the skills and of the areas.
Assassin is the ruler of the speed-clear runs, so if u wanna make easy money and run dungeons take an assa. Personally i got tired of speed-clears with my sin, since did millions runs and i decided to do something different with my Paragon.

Plus, don't forget all of the wonderful support options available to rits like the weapon spells, hexes, and support spirits.

But for starters, i would suggest to think of what you want to do - Cast or Hit.
If hit then you have to figure out if you want to do it from distance or in close combat.
Just make some brainstorming about your needs and wants

Please close this useless tread, everyone has an other opinion.
The bottomline is, ur main should be the class u most enjoy playing it.

It all depends on what you're doing with the character, but I have all classes and I always come back to my monk as a main, so i'd choose that, but for say you were doing pvp, unless you were a high rank you shouldn't really play monk cause it could be difficult. War, Sin, Ele, Mes, Ranger, it all just depends on the expierence you have, what you're doing, and what you love to play the most.

I play War and Rit because they're versatile and do lots of damage. Given there isn't a reason to explain past that I'll leave it there.
