Trouble choosing profession
depends on what your playstyle is and what game mode

One of the easiest ways to try out each profession is by going into the PvP lobby where everything is unlocked for you (mostly). I think PvP maybe be gated until like lvl 10 now or something…I can’t remember, but that would be the fastest way to try them at max.
but I will do my best to give you a general overview.
Warrior: Straightforward and mobile, warriors offer flexibility with strength.
Guadian: Essentially a magical warrior, guadians have numerous defensive and offensive skills avaliable, however their cooldowns are known to be somewhat higher.
Ranger: Adaptive and versitile, rangers can adjust to nearly any situation and counter it.
Thief: Extreamly mobile and slippery, theives can hit hard and escape on a whim.
Engineer: engineers can have access to a plethora of unique skills at any given time, making them somewhat complex, but very deadly.
Necromancer: With a focus on enemy dampening rather than team support, necromancers provide a backwards version of team support while remaining very hard to kill
Mesmer: Masters of trickery, mesmers manipulate their targets, themselves, and their allies with a host of fantastic utility to gain the advantage.
Elementalist: Much like the engineer, elementalists have access to many skills all at once, allowing them to bring an kitten nal of skills wherever they go. Elementalists are often viewed as “the jack of all trades” prodession.
Hope that gave you a general understanding. I highly suggest trying the classes before making any judgments about them.
Best of luck!
