  I think I'll make a Sylvari Elementalist and an Asura Ranger. I was going to make both of them Sylvari but the way the Asura move is so fun to watch. They're also cute. >>

  I'm gonna make an Asura Elementalist, because I think the females are soooo cute. And yeah I love the way they walk too. I'm not sure about what else I want to make, to be honest.

  I was on the fence about making more than one character, but I guess taking the names isn't bad. Maybe I'll actually make a male character. I've never been a trap before. XD

  Male Human Warrior, I'm so unoriginal T.T
  
  Run around with my rifle >:D
  
  Also curious if anyone been playing during beta.
  Did they improve the warrior's banners? They seem really useless. Only banner that is actually usable is the elite banner
  Only played BW1 and BW2

  Finally preordered the game after deciding I'll probably be fine to play it this semester! Also decided I'm going to be a norn warrior!
  
  I'm so excited! A few people from the old Immortals guild are getting together and we're all going to probably play on the same server.

  I'm sorry to say that Warrior is the class I've paid literally no attention to, so I can't help you there. I will say that they've done huge overhauls to the majority of the skills, so you should check them again, for they might have changed.
  
  As for me, I'm still confounded over which race I want my first character to be. I've even resorted to using chance and letting fate sort it out, but I never like the answer I end up with. QQ.
  
  Also, I'm not even sure I'll have my internet back online by the time the servers are up, but even if I don't, I might find a way to play that day regardless.
  
  Woo Excited!

  Some of them aren't too great, but they're meant to be "set and forget" defensive buffs that are very persistent and able to be carried around. I had the best experience with Banner of Discipline, because crits are nice and the #2 skill when you're holding the banner gives everybody within range 8 seconds of Fury, with a 10 second cool down. So almost no downtime with that.

  For anyone that just pre-purchased/pre-ordered the game recently, here's my short guide on gathering crafting materials.
  
  Craft Material Guide
  
  During the headstart, tons of people will be rushing craft mats/ leveling their crafting so be sure to profit off it.
  
  [SPOILER="Spoiler"] The guide is still a work in progress (I gotta reword a couple things and edit some stuff). If you have any questions ask me here or on the blog. Next guide is on the specifics of crafting. [/SPOILER]
