What is your favorite GW2 Profession so far?

I thought I would love the Ranger since it reminded me of the Huntard in WoW, however I rerolled and went Human Engineer and loving the profession. As stated in another post, I am only level 24 but enjoying my time so far in GW2 despite the bugs that were in it when I started the game on August 29th.

So what do you think about your profession of choice and why you like it?

I went Ranger with an Eng alt atm .. I normally play melee/tank classes in MMO's but something just didn't feel right to me about the Guardian/Warrior

So I went Ranger and am enjoying it

Of the four classes I've played to level 30: Ranger, Engineer, Warrior and Elementalist I have to say it's my Asura Warrior I've had the most fun playing.  I didn't think in a million years I'd dig playing a pint sized ball of fury with a great sword.

I do like the Ranger class as well. Funny how I thought that was going to be the profession I rolled to 80.

I may create the Charr Ranger like most and get rid of my Norn Ranger as my alt.

Bought 3 extra slots to play all profesions. I have all 8 on level 5. I decided on the Guardian as Main (now level 28) since I love the support playstile of shielding and buffing the melee zerg while my spirit sword is wacking at enemies.

From most to least comfortable to play with so far:

Guardian: I love the concept and how much this one can bring to group play (anti range-dd)

Engineer: great fun with the belt, will explore this one more

Elementalist: More fun than casters in other games due to element swap

Necromancer:  very timing dependant, hard to play, need to invest more time

Thief: he seems to lack the certain something

Ranger: the Pet management is a bit clumpsy, done better in other games

Warrior: same old same old, fun but not very fresh

Memer: dont really get it, feels a bit chaotic and unsatisfying

I came to this thread ready to vote for cooking.  *brainsploshun*

Elementalist, because it has the largest variety of skills per weapon set. I explore and take out 1-3 mobs with my two daggers and switch to staff for multi mob events.

Scalpless

So far, it's Mesmer. Necromancer has been fun, too, but I like how fast-paced and versatile Mesmers are.

Guardian.

Specced hard for survivability.  Somehow though, I still manage to be a beast.  Melee combat is fun.

Dodge roll out of constant effects, aegis things I know my life bar won't like, use my hammer's third hit to protect my way through the dinky damage, + constant retaliation.  Between the retaliation and my burning and the fact I'm doing a lot of melee (Which hits harder than ranged), I am actually using my durability and large life bar along with utility bar full of survival skills to make my dps high.

It's an interesting way to play!  I'm also getting pretty good with some monsters and how to fight toe to toe with them.  I was really annoyed when I was running the first dungeon and I actually died for the first time on a run, at the last boss.  It was almost a perfect run.

I swap up between that and being exceptionally good at rezzing.

I have maxed out +healing from traits, so I heal faster than usual, and my last utility (The other two are for aegises) is a forcefield + heal.  Plop that down, rez somebody, and with my trait, we both get regen, protection and regeneration out of the deal.  Pretty sweet.  It works great when I'm working with a thief and they put down a cloak first, so we're invisible the whole time.

Mostly using hammer and scepter/torch.  Greatswords are for hipsters. :x

Mesmer + greatsword = win :-D

Asura engineer but I still have to try most of the other classes,my highest alt is a lv 5 ranger.
