This is probably too late but anyway, just in case you're still reading :P
The whole "may/may not make it to GW2" thing makes no sense... it's your character name that will be transferred, not necessarily his/her profession.

Ritualist - I would agree that it is THE most flexible profession (Rangers are only good at AoE damage and Interrupting, Rits have a lot more useful builds: MM, AoE damage, single-target damage, various utility stuff, healer, damage tank). Cantha characters are also the most expensive to make.

Elementalist - They can also solo farm (I'd say easier than Ritualists). They are very effective at what they do but, imo, they get boring because they're too simple to play. They usually have an easy time getting in a pug, just like Necromancers and Monks.

Ranger - If you get the Rainbow Phoenix (or any pet that you really like), you have a good variety of builds that can use him/her... so I guess that might be why you said it's "fun". I disagree that it's less popular... a lot of people LOVE to play Barrage/pet Rangers.

Paragon - This is my #1 profession and I'd say the best prof for Ursan builds. So while you're generally right that it lacks variety, if you get into Ursan you'll find a lot of good builds that are fun to play: P/Me (damage-reducing and long lasting stances), P/Mo (for putting 2 bonds on your Monk and hard rezz), P/R (Quickening Zephir and Brambles OR Edge of Extinction and pet). The God Mode build can also help you get into PuG groups.

Paragon or Ranger FTW

My favorites are:

Rit
Para
Necro

My necro is my primary, but I love the rit and Para and play them the most.

I already know that statistically the Paragon is superior to all other classes due to balance issues. I'm asking opinions on which character to focus on, not "i herd pve wus ez, hur hur" bullshit. If you can't read my original post then don't post.

its really that difficult to just play the one you like the most?

Paragons are probably the best class for synergizing with heroes.
USE THEM!

There is just soooo much they can do!
For example:
Setting up an SF team with "They're on fire!"
Or if you melee heavy, anthem of weakness is always a good choice.
You can even BIP and charge your party's adrenaline!

And don't forget that spears are one of the best weapons in the game

They are a great choice even without the overrated PvE skills.

But I still think warriors are unstoppable beast because of their insane armor combined with Elemental Resistance.That and they have some of the best DPS in the game!
