What alt should i pick?
So what should i pick? The priorities thats important for me:
mobility> escape abilities > survivability…
You want an Elementalist.

My first choice would be to suggest pick none. Alt’s are a money sink. However, if you are going to pick another class I would take someone that is the opposite of a Warrior (personally, I main guardian and Mesmer).
That would give you the most variety.
You should probably do an Elementalist, but Mesmers also offer a lot on your list. Their quality of life mobility is terrible, but their combat mobility is amazing. They can have great survivability, but it’s more skill based than armor based. They can be build to have good access to stealth, which enable some escapes. Mesmers are almost entirely sinlge target focused, with little ability for aoe damage. The have stuns and dazes for crowd control. They also offer some dot, but condition Mesmers are a little out of favor since the confusion nerf.
Engineer. Very mobile, super-fast endurance regen, dynamic, lotsa aoe tagging/damage, tons of build variety, good single target control, group utility.

You don’t like thief but you describe it to a tee? There is a difference between a lvl 10 try-it-out thief and a lvl 80 d/d stealth thief, or with pistols or whatever.
You leveled a warrior first, so most people that start with warrior (or early on) go to guard next.
