Nice a GW thread again. Well I loved the necromancer in GW 1 so thats going to be my starting class, I love raising the undead. But I must admit I'm looking forward to playing engineer and ranger as well.
The problem with GW2 is not what to play... but what to play first. heh.
I've mained a Mesmer ever since I made one, and I'm hoping ANet can keep that alive in the new one when it gets revealed next month.
In the extremely unlikely event that Mesmer is not the 8th or they somehow miss the mark badly enough, I'll be playing an Engineer instead. Then again, I'm going to play all of them eventually anyway.

Did they announce mesmers? I don't think I saw that in my GW2 newsfeed. God, those guys were/are ridiculous in PvP.
And Elementalist, my favorite. My main in GW1 is one, and shall remain in GW2. I'll probably have a Guardian as well.

I'm really quite torn. An Elementalist was my first ever character in the original and I'm definitely choosing that as my first in GW2, but Necro's and Engineers also look so dam good and I played the hell out of my Necro back in the day.
Not sure how I feel about Mesmers being the 8th (if they are that is). As a profession it never really struck me. They were pretty awesome in PvP but I was much more a PvE kinda guy and I never found much use for them. It was definitely the least played profession (back in Prophecies at least) and I'm surprised they're bringing it back. Maybe it'll be awesome though, who knows!

For a long time, I was planning on Thief primary. I'll do my usual altaholic thing and make all the classes, but Thief was the one I was looking forward to most.
Then they dropped Energy, but left Initiative. While the version with separate ini bars per weapon was interesting, that got reverted. I'm just not interested in Thief as much anymore.
What I do like, to my own great surprise, is Engineer. While you do need to use Utility spots to give yourself weapon swaps, the combination of decent skills, turrets, and the backpacks, PLUS all the toolbar awesomeness makes this class seem wonderfully versatile. I also love the idea of two guns dealing out a ton conditions then Rocket Kicking anyone who gets close.

The closest thing to a healer I can find.
Seriously, I'm so excited for this game, but I'm not sure what I'm going to do with myself.

Sylarvi thief first. The thief has looked badass from what I've seen so far, add that to the Sylarvi who interest me the most of the GW2 races and I'm good to go.
Of course old habits die hard and I will be creating an Asura warrior as well, there is something so very pleasing in being a midget in plate armour. I'll play him just like my Gnome warrior in WoW and expect to get the same level of abuse for it.

I do hope it's a Mesmer. One of the few mage classes in any game that does something with the concept of cloth armor beyond "Bathrobe".
For my class, Ranger. Love the look of the pets.

Warrior, because I loved how warriors worked in GW1. There are so few games in which you can play such a class without being railroaded into playing a tank.
According to this article on [QQ] they'll be very much the same as in GW1:

I'm bias to say Thief because they are the ascendant to the Assassin class in Guild Wars Faction which is my favourite class. Scarim Coral will be reborn (the name of my assassin)!
My second favourite is the Nerconmancer which again I'm bias (I was great at playing the Nerco espically during PVP). I am so going to make a Charr Nercomancer!
