Warrior | Your sword and board master, the Warrior prefers to be in the thick of battle.

Ranger | The ranged specialist capable of splitting an ant in two from three hundred yards away.

Necromancer | Master of the undead and dark arts, you do not want to tick the Necromancer off.

Elementalist | The magical architect of fire, air, earth, and water.  Basically, a raging pyro with a few other tricks as well.  But come on… fire.

Guardian | This profession is hell-bent on protecting his mates, and he does it through causing pain to his enemies as well as warding his allies.

Thief | Fancy yourself a spry little pickpocket? Or do you just want to get all stabby on someone? This may be the class for you.

Engineer | Guns, traps, bombs… more guns. The engineer is all about the mechanics (literally) of battle.

Mesmer | A fan favorite, the Mesmer's skills involve the manipulation and destruction of its enemies' minds.  He will make you think you're on fire while you fight mirror images of him and watch him teleport across the battlefield in the blink of an eye.
