Okay, let's have some fun here. We all hear about how Warrior's are the dumbest profession... so what are the other stereotypes then? Keep them to the form of: (these are just for illustration purposes)

Warriors = Dumbest
Monks = Whiniest
Necros = Least likely to procreate with another human being
Eles = Most likely to be compensating for something
Rangers = most cowardly. "Look at me, I have 5 running stances"
Dervish = "I am invincible. Cower beneath as I hurl pebbles!"
Assassin = Thinks he/she could 1v1 an aircraft carrier
Rits = 1 trick spamming pony
Paragon = Was that guy in highschool who tried too hard to make friends and was never invited to the party... will likely grow up to be a mutiny victim
Mesmers = Elitist / Barry Manilow fan
...And so forth.

No flaming - we just want to have a little fun/humour here are our own expense.

Rits: Only useful as Spirit Spammers. Nukers > Channeling, Monks > Resto, Necro MMs > Minion Bombing *Finally decides to give up and make a Monk, where they release their hidden Rit frustrations by whining.*
Assassins: Rez please?
Monks: Do what I say, or I don't heal you. /ragequit *Goes back to 55 farming.*
Nukers (There are no other kinds of Ele, you understand): Meteor Swarm LOL!
Warriors: I don't have Mending, what do you think I am, a noob? I have HEALING SEED. /coughblushcough
Dervish: LFG anything! PLEASE! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, LFG! Oh, you already got 3 of us in your group, sorry to be a bother... ... ... LFG...
Necro: *MM for most of game.* SS or SV? SS... SV... OMG, I can't decide! /sob *Is invited to Gate of Madnesss anyways.*
Paragon: *Poor for most of game.* Secondary... secondary... OMG, I can't decide! /sob *Is never invited to anything.*
Rangers: STFU, I'm pulling already! GAWD! *Gets no love for rest of battle if successful, and is blamed/perma-ignored if he fails.*
Mesmer: Yes, I interrupt... /sigh *Uploads his non-IW templates.*

More humor, from the NPCs:
Shiro: lawl, I pwn all of you, regardless.
Lich: lawl, you will all die when I get my hands on- *Dies first.*
Abaddon: Lawl, I will pwn the 5 Godz! *Dies in 20 minutes or less.*
Gehraz: lawl, me > Melonni
Melonni: /cry /wrist

Warriors = Dodge Ram. Big and powerful. Falls apart in a year.
Monks = Toyota Prius. Helpful to our enviroment. Couldn't survive a light poll.
Necros = Porsche 911. Performs well. But never changes.
Eles = Hyundai Sonata. Good value. Everyone has one.
Rangers = Land Rover Range Rover. Resilient in the outdoors. But no one wants one.
Dervish = BMW M5. Plenty of gadgets. But you hardly use half of them.
Assassin = Honda Civic. All show. But no go.
Rits = Volvo V50. Resourceful. But unloved.
Paragon = Chevorlet Corvette Z06. Nice to have. But not for daily driving.
Mesmers = Cadillac CTS. Look at me styling. But few are bought.

Heh... some of these are pretty good

Okay... now for a corporate analogy. This one applies to heavy industry (mining, steel, cement, oil, etc) and probably elsewhere:

Warriors = Production. Big, fast, and dumb. Always looking for something bigger and badder. Commonly heard saying "I can tweak this valve with my hammer. THUMP!"
Monks = Maintenance. The fix-it people. They generally care only about themselves until something's died. You need to suck-up to these people to get what you need. Commonly heard saying "Hey, who hit this with a hammer?"
Necros = Marketing group. Pretty much set up with Warrior/Production hate. Anything they do will likely leave you cursed. Primary attribute is Sale Reaping
Rangers = Front-line Supervisors. Good at everything but excel at nothing.
Eles = Engineering. Converting raw materials and energy. Always want to have the biggest bang. Can specialize in Electrical/pneumatics, Mining/materials, combustion/chemistry, hydraulics, etc
Mesmers (Domination) = your boss'es boss'es boss. No matter what you do with this guy you're screwed
Mesmer (Illusion) = that guy your boss'es boss promoted. All show, no substance
Mesmer (Inspiration) = stupid noob. Inspiration doesn't exist in a corporate environment
Assassins = Management. They barge in, cause chaos, havoc, and disorder and then flee without accomplishing much
Rits = Quality Control. "We're here to annoy you".
Paragon = HR. Say a whole lot but do nothing value added.
Dervish = Accounting. You just can't get rid of these guys no matter how hard you try.

Warrior: I am the american Sedan. Big, Ugly, Powerful, and I get alot of unwanted attention.

Elementalist: I am the tank! FEAR ME! OH GOD, ENCHANT STRIP!

Mesmer: Energy Burn and Energy Surge are my only damage skills. I will spam them and do nothing.

Ranger: Lawl, I'm going to bring 5 stances and throw dirt. And barrage. Fear me.

Assassin: If you target me, chances are I die.

Monk: Im the only 100% needed class, so i'm going to order the group around.

Ritualist: I will spam spirits. Then I wont do anything for 40 seconds because I really can't.

Paragon: I was good, but then I got smacked by the nerf bat. Plz let me in your party?

Dervish: 5 enchants, 2 scythe attacks, and a rez. Whoo...

I, as an assassin, find it hard to get invited to most parties becuase you see idiots running around in missions spamming Shadow Form at the beginning of the fight and dying 13 seconds later.
It doesn't really bother me though, things get done faster If I just hero/hench it lol.

A typical RA scenario…


Team 1:
Monk: You guys better be able to kill stuff.
Ranger: Np, I’m gonna thump ‘em hard and keep ‘em on the ground.
Warrior: I have high DPS, decent spiking and great armour.
Assassin: I have insane spiking and mediocre DPS.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the river…

Team 2:
Rit: I will set up a bunch of spirits to blind those nasty warriors.
Necro: I’ll hex those suckers good.
Mesmer: Watch this. I gonna ineptitude his ass.
Ele: Oh yeah, well I’m gonna blinding surge his ass.


Back to Team 1:
Monk: I didn’t bring hex/condition removal. You guys suck, I’m outta here!
