I've also been looking for a new main lately. I've been playing a lot of Bladesworn but haven't fully committed, as I am still not doing as well in open world as I would be with other classes, but it could be lack of familiarity with bladesworn that causes that. Overall, hovering thief, necro and warrior for what I wish to main, and I think I'll copy your approach and just dive in to one after I get a feeling for the new weapons they are getting next patch and play them for the duration of the path and re-evaluate how I feel after. Thanks for seeding this idea, and for the video :)
Ranger main - going Untamed for story & open world. Group content I'm always swooping between Mesmer / Thief / Ranger - I may add warrior into the mix and drop thief
I'm main necro and do everything with it, story,open world, strikes,fractals,wvw zer and roaming, and I think I will stick with it., Even tho I considered to drop it since the wvw nerf kinda hurts haha however, I better wait for the patch and see how it goes. Not mentioning the hype with the double swords on necro :D
Personally I'll try out guardian with pistols. Pistol builds are very rare, and to get one with dual pistols seems like fun, especially when numbers go fast.
I slightly disagree, but the disagreement is on the pistol builds being rare. Necro uses pistol on a few builds, thief uses it, engineer does as well. of those, thief and engi uses dual pistol for a couple of their builds as well. What makes them seem rare is how little classes actually can utilize pistol and what feels good on them :) Also I encourage to try guardian pistol out, it was surprisingly fun
Writing this quite a bit later, but it turns out pistols for Guardian are very fun, especially for willbender 😃 so that was a very good choice from you
As a new player mesmer main, core staff & scepter/torch or focus i feel so lost at lvl 80. I think chaos, illumination, Dulist/illusions. I wanted to be the best support coming from ffxiv. I dont feel like i do top chart dps/healing/tanking i just press a ton of buttons & a ton of things happen but dont really feel like im contributing as much to the other guys in fractals carrying me. Hope things get better with chrono rifle. I have an alt guardian but i do love the fast gameplay type of character's might go for ranger on 3rd toon.
As Anton said below, heal chrono is very good, it has lots of boons and heals and it is easier to play than the dps variant. So I suggest checking out some guides for chrono so you can spam the buttons in a specific order so that you get the most out of it 😁
I can't decide on a main. 😢

I am glad I was able to help 🙂

Thinking of switching to a charr scrapper/dragonhunter… but am torn between the first and making my 8th revenant as human
😅 choosing a main is very hard, for me is right up there with picking a name for the character

For mesmer support you should definitely try chrono.
