This guide does not cover every game mode in depth and does not contain a build. You will find below a brief summary of each of the 9 playable professions, with their pros and cons. This guide is there to help you in your choice. Choosing a profession that suits us is an important but sometimes difficult choice. Remember that in GW2 your role in a group is not determined by the chosen profession but by your play style. A very often asked question in the GW2 subreddit and the official forum (and in the game itself) is « What profession should I play? ».
