[All Professions] What defines the profession
The double post is intended to separate the starting post from this one.
[Ranger] For that professions it´s certainly the classmechanic, i.e. the pet for me that defines the professions. Without it i would just feel like a weaker version of a warrior.
[Engineer] The ability to switch fast between kits. To go bombkit, elixier gun, rifle and back again to the bombkit in no time. I like that a lot.
The F1 till F4 i don´t feel that defining. It´s basically a 6th button on your kit.
[Necro] Here it´s the death shroud which defines the profession for me. To use it for the aoe (#4) in a power build or the aoe torment (#5) in a condi build.
[Warrior] The healing Signet… nah just a joke
It´s the straight forward play style. If i wanna have might and fury i take FGJ. If i want stability i use Balanced Stance or Dolyak Signet.
As said in the OP. That´s my opinion about these professions and will certainly differ from the point of view from other persons.
Hey,
[Mesmer] Clone and Phantasm creation. Like blackwater mesmers: they rarely use f1-f3, but they still feel “mesmerish”
[ele] attunement swaps and constant comboing through the elements
[Necro] The Condition access (most of all fear in combination with Terror). Can’t imagine a Power necro.
[Warrior] The critical hits and CC options. Also the game around landing the f1 or not (not counting for longbow / pve)
[Guardian] The inbuild, inevitable defense. The defense options are just to accessible to left out of any build.
[thieve] stealth and teleports
[Ranger] Passive-automated action.
1. Heavily defined by passively triggered traits, effects, and u-skills
2. Primary class mechanic is an AI controlled minion

(PvE only)
[Warrior] Banner bot and GS camper
[Guardian] Clerics/tanks
[Ranger] Ranger is for ranging. Bearbow!
[Necro] Useless
[Thief] Probably going to die a lot
[Mesmer] Timewarp is their only good skill
[Elementalist] “What’s a blast finisher?” Ice-bow dispenser.
[Engineer] “There are 8 classes in this game?” Flamethrower/EG engi.
Did I do it right?
