That's the other thing ...

In WoW I only played 1 major char (2000hrs) which was an assassin/rogue. I enjoyed it immensely, but I also saw where it came horribly short.

The Gladiators look rather formidable, but I'm not such a huge fan of the "domkrag" plate wearing, bullies with big hammers.

In Guild wars my 2 main characters are: Ranger & Fire Elementalist ... so sorcerer won't be foreign to me. Although right now I'm considering either Assassin or Ranger.

I think Assassin would suit the storyline somewhat better.
