I'm starting to wonder whether I should go Warrior/Monk or Warrior/Elementalist.
Actually Warrior/Necro doesn't seem bad either. I just don't know if I want to heal/throw fire/or be vampiric. This is gonna be a tough one. I'm going to test Warrior/Elem in the Beta i think.
What primary profession will you be? MERGED

You want W/N if
a. you're not going to use its death magic, too much energy...
b. you want mediocre healing with damage dealing
c. if you like cursing people out... so to speak...
W/M if
a. you want to be the last man standing to res your party.
b. like people yelling at you for not being able to heal them at times
c. awesome healing with high damage prevention/absorbtion
W/E when
a. you want to deal damage, a LOT of damage
b. you want to learn the REAL meaning of energy management
c. the healer in your party is good enough to literally bet your life on.
I've read up on these builds and all of them are quite good. Good strengths offset by balanced weaknesses. But hey, that's why we love dis game!

What will your main character be(primary profession)?
TheSaint
So far my main character "The Saint" is a War/Necro and it has been working out well... and if you like to start fights or tank big ugly beasts then warrior for your prim. Prof. is a good idea...
Manderlock
The saint i loved that movie.
Manderlock Bloodblade shall also be War/ necro

Monk, because I was coerced into it last BWE. Once you take the step, there's no turning back.

Hello everyone,
I've merged the two threads on primary professions. I've also reopened the poll on this thread indefinitely. Please do NOT make such an obvious repeat of the same thread in the future, especially since the last post in the original thread was only three days before this one. If you feel this strongly about wanting to vote in a poll that has already been closed, please send a PM to either me, or any of the other moderators, and we'll definitely consider reopening the poll.
Also, please remember the search button. It's a very good friend to have.
Thank you.
And back on topic..
As for me, I'm usually primary monk.. although strangely, with the abundance of monks in my guild lately, I might be expanding my areas a bit.

I'm planning on making a N/Mo minionator for my first build. I've found that minionators can be excellent for farming in PvE, and I'd like to get a nice selection of equipment and runes before starting PvP. I'll get the monk skills I want for my healer via that character, and hopefully some nice runes and such. Once I get a good start, I'll probably start out a PvE healer as well, with the intention of using that character in PvP once I finish leveling and getting gear.
It's always fun to run around with 20 minions swarming your targets too, so I intend to have fun with that first character as well. I'll probably put some effort into exploring the entire world and completing all the quests with that character, and actually pay attention to the lore and cinematics for my first run through the storyline. I've got a good idea how the story goes, but I've purposefully not payed too much attention to the plotline, especially the loremasters so that I won't spoil the story come release. After a week or two, I'll probably look at starting to do some serious PvP along with my PvE.

I voted monk. I have two professions in mind actually and I'm leaning more towards the monk right now. The other is the necromancer. Well, I'll really decide when I enter the character creation screen. 
SereneD
Warrior. Warrior/Monk for PVE because they can breeze thru the PVE. Since PvE is required to get to the areas where the skill trainers are. I want to use the Profession that will get me there the easiest and fastest so I can unlock the skills to create my PvP character. I also don't want to be stuck using that Warrior henchman; for the times that I can't get a group. That Henchman is just like the ranger pets; they are both suicidal and will get you killed real fast.
Armaio
Every character is good at PvE in some way, the challenge is to find a character that strives in both...perhaps a Warrior/Monk? But I'm becoming a Necro/War so I guess I wont be striving in PvP
Excel
My first character will be a mo/ele
paiway
I'm going to play a Ra/El with focus on Air Magic. Basically, a sniper designed to take out W's and big critters(think Blind and Crippling Shot).

portiadude
Try look at it,, they votes are nearly even spread between the proffesions. Maybe this is a proft for that Anet is holding their words and not a single proffesions is better.

what're you talking about?
theres twice as many rangers as monks...and over twice as many rangers as necros
...dosen't look evenly spread to me...

Im trying to decide whether to be the paladin: Warrior/Monk or Flame Warrior: Warrior/elem. My future team wants me to be Warrior/Monk, but we already have a dedicated healer, and I want to deal some damage.
Mashekle
Primary for me will be mesmer. I just love fast casting. :P Also I think the female AND the male mesmer look very cool. I thought about going primary necro though, but fast cast > soul reaping hands down imho.
Slade xTekno
My favorite class is Mesmer. I love playing Blue in M:tG [something about Asians and blue...].
My account is going to consist of:
Aurora Xiltyn - Mesmer/Warrior
Slade Carter - Warrior/Dunno Yet
Lucrecia Nailo - character reserved for co-op with friends. My friends don't have all nice computers, so we'll probably be going to play at LAN cafes together.
Tekkaman Blade - Reserved for PvP.

I'll probably make 2 chars, one a N/Me, and also a Monk that I haven't decided on a second prof for.
Played a N/Me this last weekend and loved it, most likely will be my main.

Tried all combos out and that just made me more confused
But the combo that felt best was Mo/N

Necromancer/warrior, necromancer's healing is extremely good and so is it's offence, Most of warrior's skills dont require energy which prevents conflict with necromancer skills. Very good combo, i used it in the last BWE
Talaith Ailleann
I'm going to use Elementalist & Necromancer. More or less long-range killing ability, along with the distinct benefit of having more allies the longer the fight goes on. Mix that with Vampiric Touch for the ultimate close-in weapon, and I reckon it's a pretty survivable arrangement. It more or less worked last weekend, at least when I played smart.
The notion of running a long fight goes against someone's advice posted here, but I think it'll work with the right specializations in the Hero(ine) column. First quest'll be to find some better clothes; the Elementalists must freeze on a regular basis.

I'm planning on a Mesmer / Necromancer for my primary. I tried that out in the March Beta and I really liked it.
As a secondary, and tertiary I'm planning on a Ranger / Monk and probably a Elementalist / Mesmer

I'm going warrior as primary for sure. As for sub I'm torn between monk or necro. I tried w/mo in the BWE and really liked it, I didn't try w/ne though. I'll probably do some more research on necro blood skills and make a choice.
Did some checking going with W/mo.

W/N. I liked using Sever Artery then Gash (nice to drain their health for a bit) and then use Vampiric Touch to up my health. As soon as I took one enemy down (one that left a corpse) I would use Putrid Explosion...I had it up to 56 damage at the end of the BWE...and that had a nice splash range...I was hitting up to 6 enemies at some points with it. In emergencies I also had the Healing Signet from the Warrior. I was using Hundred Blades for a while, but I exchanged that for Power Attack near the end.
For a secondary, I think Monkromancer or Necromonkcer. I may instead go Me/Mo or E/Me...too many choices, dang it! What is that, something like 36 combos?

Agreed with Weezer. It's awesome support with energy management from your mesmer secondary. And there are some pretty good combos of R and Me skills.
My other char will be Mo/Me for ownage.
