Guild Wars 2

This might not be the correct forum to post this in, so if so please move the the appropriate one.

Anyway I am having an issue of which of my characters will be my “main”, or my go to character I can rely on to have fun and for any situation. I am dead set on choosing my Thief, Warrior, or my currently leveling Guardian. I am mainly PvE with a little WvW thrown in. I played GW1 for a long time and still found myself missing out because I kept switching characters and remaking them for different scenarios and I really want to focus mainly on just one class.

I am currently working on either Sunrise for my War/Guard or Bolt for my Thief and seeing how this is currently taking em a few months, I am almost done with either of the two and just need to decide ultimately. I consider myself decent on each class with still many things to learn. I am sometimes blown away at peoples abilities to play some of these classes and I wanna be that good with a single class, but I want to focus on that class and spend most of my time learning and getting the best gear for that one character.

So my ranting is over and I am just looking for peoples opinions/experiences with each of these classes ( Thief/War/Guard ). Hearing other people talk about them really helps me decide and would appreciate to hear all the pros/cons people see in these classes.
Also, feel free to express why you choose any other profession as your main and why.

For me it was just a matter of which one I enjoyed playing most.

I made 4 characters on launch day (ranger, thief, elementalist and engineer) and added a guardian shortly afterwards. I started off playing them all roughly equally but never set myself any rules. I’d just decide who seemed the most fun that day.

After a while my ranger was the obvious favourite. She hit level 40 before any of the others got above 20. So it made sense for her to be the one who got first priority for gear and things, which is all a main character is to me.

I’ve got the same problem as you but on a smaller scale with ascended jewelry (doing dailies is tedious ok).

You’ll never be completely happy after getting your legendary (whichever you choose) because you’ll see an amazing player of another class and be like ‘wow I wish I could do that’.

With that being said the skill cap on thief is the highest. However the most useful is the guardian but they are really easy to play.

I have both a Thief and a Guardian at level 80.
I really wanted the Guardian to be my main guy, because I’ve always liked the holy warrior type of class. But in Guild Wars 2 the class just bores me. It just feels slow, and not much fun to play as.
On the other hand, Thief is now one of my favourite classes. I’ve never been a fan of the sneaky kind of character, but the Thief’s gameplay is just so much fun, I love doing dungeons with my Thief.=P I guess it all comes down to what you want from a class. Personally I love mobility and fast paced gameplay, rather than just standing there and mashing enemies with my greatsword.
