since the release of nightfall and the introduction of dervish, paragon and all the new skills, i was wondering what everyones favorite and least favorite professions are.
my favorites would have to be mesmer and assassin. mesmer for their their way of "messing" with what others do and assassins for their sheer speed and power.
my least favorite is probably paragon because in my opinion, they are just an unneeded class that doesnt serve too much of a purpose.
i dont want this post to be flamed, im just curious as to what the guild wars community thinks of some of their favorite and least favorite classes and why.

My two most favourite are the mesmer and ritualist.
They happen to be two of the least popular too.
Which is fine by me!
Next I would say ranger and then necromancer.
My two least favourite are dervish and paragon, because I haven't played them much yet!
Except for the super Me/D "mystic healer build II" arredondo posted a while ago. It is very powerful, but can be super hard to manage!
I guess I love them all when I try them.

my favorite profession would probably be ranger, simply because i love ranged attacks. In every mmorpg i love sitting back and doing damage .
my least favorite profession would probably be ritualist, i dont like how reliable they are on spirits for some builds.

Necromancer (always!) and rangers too.
Don't like the melee professions, but that's just my playing style.

Necro, monk, and paragon (in that order), but soon to change as I'm really having fun with the paragon. I've gained a new appreciation for mesmer, which is just as well considering I'm surrounded by them in my guild/alliance. They're very persuasive.
My least favourites are the dervish and warrior. Melee classes give me tunnel vision, and I'm just not the "charge into the fray" kind of gal.

Least Favorite: Nec (Mainly consists tab-hex-tab-hex or raising minions - yawn)

Favorite: Mesmer - no question. There are so many ways to ruin your foes day it's not even funny! (Oh yeah, it is! 
) After that, Ranger & Warrior.
Least favorite (That I've played -I'm not gonna comment on professions I don't know about.): Elementalist. Just not my cup of tea. I'm just happy there are people out there who do like playing them!

introducing a strong class with no general counters, only narrow hard counters, wonderful.

Favorite: Ranger and Paragon, I prefer classes using range physical attacks.
Least: Probably Ritualist (not so much), at some point it gets boring using spirits most of the time.

My favorites are easily the Factions professions. The Assassin is still the highest damage class in the game (which I like) and the Ritualist is still the most... well... odd class in the game. (which I also like for some reason)
My least favorite class is the monk. Monks are too dang good at healing so my rit rarely gets priority in HA groups. To counter the uberness of the monk in PvE mobs do ridiculous amounts of damage. I sometimes wish it was possible to go through the end-game zones without at least two, if not three monks in your group

Favorite: Elementalist, followed closely by Ritualist
Least Favorite: Paragon and Mesmer
Not a fan of Paragon because I'm not too big a fan of playing pure support. Mesmer I just can't really play.

Favourite: Monk / Mesmer - support roles are cool.
Least Favourite: Warrior / Ranger - I used to like Ranger but recently all I seem to be asked to do is barrage spam.
Can't comment on Assassin / Paragon / Dervish though as I haven't done much with them yet....
