what kinds of professions did you guys try? ive been reading about them and they all seem pretty interesting. especially since changing your weapons somewhat changes your role or abilities.
Most class's can weapon swap but engineer cannot, But they can load weapon packs as their utility skills. Weapon packs change your weapon skills to whatever skill you activate, Few examples i saw, Flame Thrower, Bombs, and land mines.
I think between the whole guild we tried everything, I spent the most time on Theif , Guardian and Engineer. All were super fun to play I think i enjoyed guardian the most though.
Elementalist also lacks a weapon swap, but just like Engineers swap to kits to change their skill bar, Ele's swap attunnements for the same effect.
I personally tried every profession except for Warrior, and took each of them to a minimum of level eight. The ones I liked more I got up to level 20 or so.
In order of preference:
Guardian and Thief were tied for my favorites, followed closely by Mesmer. Ele and Necro were next on the list. I imagined that Ranger would be my least favorite, but it was actually more fun than I expected and I liked it better than Engineer. My problem with Engy was that I wasn't very fond of the kits, so the fact that they don't get a weapon swap kind of ruined it for me. That may change though, as I plan to play one eventually. I imagine that Warrior will probably fall between Necro and Ranger.
