i find the results of this odd--a majority of the people that posted said that mesmer is in there top favorites, yet mesmer seems to be the least played profession.

what i like about the mes---if your set up as anti-melle, warriors, assassins, and rangers stand no chance against you. if your set up as anti-caster, elementalists, necros, monks and even other mesmers dont stand a chance against you.

Favorite Class:

Dervish. Playing this class is a balancing art. You constantly maintaining your enchantments and striking down foes while trying to keep yourself alive. Yes Dervish can take damage, but for every defensive option you have there is only a split second to recast an enchantment or choose to choose use a melee skill to deal damage. When I first started learning this class I would agonize my bar, trying to find a balance of staying alive and dealing pain. Dervish are a true skill required melee classes and can't tank with natural armor. Theres nothing like getting hit by a total rend and finding a recast of mirage cloak at the last second to save yourself from the eviscerate coming your way, then hitting vital boon and mystic sandstorm to deal damage and KO the warrior while you back out with aura of thorns to snare a nearby monk running away from your assassin. You need inhuman awarness of your surroundings to play a good derv.

Least Favorite Class:

None really... I like them all.

For their skills and the possibilities they allow, I can't pick a favorite out of them all. So, for secondaries, all of them!

For primary, I've played a fair amount with Ranger, Mesmer, Necro, and Monk so far. I enjoy them all, and I'll likely enjoy the others when I get around to starting them. Ranger was first and the title holder, so she gets the most experience. Still, I wouldn't say I like playing the Ranger more or less than I like playing the others.

Mesmer is extra special for having the biggest gap between (generally) expected and actual potential ... thanks to Dumbam.

(Though I still wonder why ... if he's the reason so many think mesmers are useless, how come more people don't think monks are useless thanks to Alesia???)

The only class I've tried as primary and not liked is the Assassin. I know! I agree! Done well they can be just wonderfully evil in all sorts of ways ... but the way they run ... oy! It drives me nuts to see that in the center of the screen all the time - I just can't get into playing it myself.

Favorites:
Monk (my first character, I will never forget the good ole' days)
Rit (So much gold to get 15k kurzick dyed white, ugh)
Necro (Just fun using various spells)
War (Me smash fun)
Ele (?.?.?) I've made 2 in PvE, just cant seem to find a reason not to delete..
Mes (pvp fun, drain enchant on wammos in ab, funner)
Dervish (fun, but getting bored with it, played it during both preview events too much I guess.)
Ranger (never really liked the class, I can't tell whether someone's wearing starter armor or FoW) Also made 2 in PvE - deleted fates.

Least favorites:
Paragon (not really sure why..)
Assassin (fun as secondary with almost anything, but primary..pve.. bah)

Actually, if you asked me half a year ago what my least favourite is, I would say elementalist. I made one in Prophecies and deleted it before Yak's Bend, made another in Factions and that got deleted too. They are just incredibly unfun to play and do pitiful damage for what is supposed to be the damage dealing class, and the AoE spells made everything flee. I also didn't like the primary attribute of Energy Storage, I don't like the idea of having a larger energy pool and then having to recharge for longer between battles, I prefer to have a smaller energy pool and bring good energy management.

However, this all changed now because Searing Flames is so nice. Powerful and fun to play, and Glowing Gaze is nice too, eles got it good in NF makes me wish I didn't delete mine.

Fave: Spear Paragons for PvE, Eles for PvP.

Least Fave: Dervish, Monk (wow!), Dervish, Dervish, Dervish.

I despise Dervishes very much. They're a total disgrace to the Guild Wars world.

Ele was my first and most beloved character.... and now I have the bonus ability to kill faster than ever with NF skillz

Least fav - tanks/sins.... I'm sure they can both be fun and I love seeing them played well, but they just don't do it for me.
