Throwing up a poll for the heck of it and to get a rough idea what the mix of classes in our gang might be. I’m going with Martial Artist.

You might want to place Support as a separate category
I voted Warrior. I am specifically going Gunlancer. 
Also Gunlancer, so as to stay equally cool. 
Summoner 
someday…
Fuggin’ A, baby! 
Shadow hunter with Sorceress and Soulfist.
I would main a Sorceress but everyone and their grandmother will be playing one and i want to try something different first, although i may end up making her my main. Soulfist looks fun, but hard, so i’m going to try it and see how i do. Like with Mesmer in GW2, it might take me many months of playing other classes before i can handle Soulfist’s difficulty. Eventually, i may main a Summoner.
I’m happy i have names ready for all of them.
I will start with a warrior class then alt-itis will kick in and I have no idea.
Gunslinger and Artillerist, just not sure which one first.
Since the combat in this game is different the from the standard MMOs I’m used to, I’m going to need to try out a few different classes before deciding on my main. Summoner was top of my list, but now, I’m considering Sorceress, Gunslinger, & Deathblade for starters, then depending on my results, branch out to something else.
Soon to be a separate poll.
I’m leaning Paladin with a side of Artillery 
Gunslinger for PvP so I can pwn me some GenZ whippersnappers 
I barely touched beta and the only class I tried was the Berserker so that along with Paladin, Shadowhunter, Deathblade, Sorceress, Sharpshooter, and Gunslinger will be my day 1 toons.
I usually go the rogue class route, but I also enjoy supporting others. Highly considering Bard.
Going sorceress first and then probably a zerker and maybe one of the assassin classes after that. those are the 3 I have names for if they don’t get taken before I get the chance.
I’m going to play the Berserker at launch…
Oops. I meant to vote Assassin but voted Martial Artist… cuz … too much research breaks brain. 
Edit: Oooooh… fancy polls… i fixed it.
I am playing an Artillerist first. I may end up going support if we are short healers and such.
I honestly have no idea. I’ve played every class and what I’ll be looking for at first is a good solo build for leveling. Once I get comfy with the classes, I usually end up going either DPS or Heals.
