5.Two of the best blind and cripple condition spam skills?
6.And if that weren't enough, you can turn your derv into a mock-healer...look at water prayers

'nuff said
being biased and arrogant are two nasty things.

if this is totally opinion on personal play..

ele
derv
derv

every other class is fully capable of being a powerful team player or assisting link in some form of gameplay. eles are fine in pve as nukers, but rarely are seen as anything else, in pvp, you either ward, SS, or SF, and hope your healers rock.

dervs.. are terrible. worst class imo, terrible survivability, they can barely do damage for all the healing they have to do soon as they start getting hit, and are basically superficial Wammos... oh thats right wammos.. those annoying paladins with high healing and little damage??? yeah, thats what dervs are.. ESPECIALLY in pvp.. horrrrrible. i love killing them with a warrior and then dancing on them, and better yet, for those who play enchant ho with a derv, many necros carry defile and desecrate enchant now.. its almost a one hit kill on you lil paladins.

fav classes:

ranger : single best, most versitile class in the game imo
warrior: can solo almost anything, and better yet, still the kings of melee, if you can prove that wrong with numbers, go watch GvG/HA.. dervs arent there.. and when they are, they're dead
rit: amazing class.. hard to even begin here..

again, you must be playing some crazy build to only have 1-2 attack moves on a warrior. last time i checked, sins use skill CHAINS meaning the same chain over and over and over again, running away and hoping not to die between recharges (not saying sins arent good, i love them to death) and dervs... omg..

dervs use what? of COURSE victorious sweep.. maybe wild blow, twin moon, or chilling victory? wow.. they have so many great moves to interchange.. sigh.. try actually knowing what you're saying before posting

Eles-just aren't very fun.
Rangers-While I like how the class works, I find most of the players to be too arrogant for me to want to relate to them.
Warriors-I'll take a sin or derv over a warrior any day.

My least favourite classes as things currently stand are

Ritualist
Paragon
Mesmer

ALthough I appreciate the importance and abilities of these classes (especially that of the mesmer) I feel least comfortable playing with these classes.

1. Dervish - I just do not like having to cast enchantments to be effective, especially not with all the enchant removal in the game, and a warrior is much more versatile.

2. Assassin - Button mashing ftl, I like to have a sin in most of my teams, I just can't stand playing them, I find it boring.

3. Monk - I have nothing against monks, I just suck at playing them.

I think I lost a few brain cells reading that... lol obviously not seeing as last time i checked, only 5 attacks are unconditional without enchants, meaning, while you spam heal, other people are dying/killing. they put out a lucky hit of MAYBE 100 damage on a 60al target here and there, and thats if the damage isnt migitated even in the slightest way. sounds too cheesy, and way too much of a game of chance for my blood. warriors still do it best

Ok here goes nothing. I am not new to the guildwarsguru or anything, I just never sign in or post anything hehe.

Ok here goes nothing.

When I state a worse profession, sometimes I will mean I cannot controll it, needs more work, or I am just not comfortable with it. I am sure most of you guys have reasons for not liking professions.

Worst/Middle 1. Ok I started a paragon, loved it, it can do both forms, healing, with paragon skills and plain pokin' things with my stick hehe. But now it is onto the mainland and somehow I haven't played it much anymore, I somehow got a little bored of it, I can control the paragon, nice and easy, I am comfortable with it, Read above saying it is easy. I just don't play it wtf? I have had interest in other characters and I need more interest in this one I think.

Middle/First 2. Ritualist, this one is tied with the Paragon here, I don't know about this one, I have passed the game with this one and used it a fair bit, but maybe is it just me, or do I think there is a hard controlment on this one? I bet thats just me, but I seem to still have a fairly hard time with it. I enjoy it at time to time, but like the paragon, I am starting to loose interest here.

3. Dervish. Acctually this rises at the top of my bad list I gotta say. It is a powerful profession, perhaps even too powerful, the Avatars are Sick, what more do I want? I have no clue lol. But I do not WANT to mix with too many enchantments I think. And also maybe I don't want a powerful profession, I want a balanced profession if you know what I mean. What good is it if you can own everything at any time? Wouldn't it get boring? Isn't it annoying when you join a party when people kick you for someone with higher armour like a warrior? These questions and more go around me heaps and heaps of times.

Now my last bit is here. I am making an Assassin, I love the profession again, what character to delete? I have a paragon and a ritualist. What to do?
Which one to delete? I would love your thoughts guys if you can spare just a quick few seconds writing down your opinions, because this is an issue that also does resolve my hated professions.

Thanks.

3 favourite classes:

1. warrior- the easiest and funest to play...yet there is always a use for them everywhere...

2. paragon- I'm not sure why everyone hates these guys... oh yeah cuz they dont know the paragons strong points.... high dps damage from a distance on par with a sword warrior... damage augmenting for an entire team....and excellent protection/heals when there are multiple paragons in a group... the real reason why paragons are disliked... because of the lack of 'single paragon' effectiveness... (which I admit, needs to be buffed if they will ever get some attention in pve. ) however I seem to have no problem becoming a useful addition to the teams I'm in.(just cleared FOW last night with an expel hex para)

3. assasin- it must be the ninja in me . This class also needs more pve love however.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

LEAST favourite:

1. Mesmer. never made one... never want to...aside from there auristocratic personality... they are a boring dissapointment.

2. Ritualist. I dont know why... they just dont interest me.

3. Dervish. I would rather just run around and hit things with my warrior....then worrry about the enchants/forms... and such..

Dervish - they might hit hard, but they are slow, rely on enchants and just.. boring.

Assassin - reliance on chained attacks is a turn off

My least favorite to use:
1.) Monk - boring to heal deadbeats.
2.) Ranger - bored at shooting arrows.
3.) Warrior - Boring.

My least favorite class to invite to a team:
1.) Assassin - My favorite class, but most players bring out the noob in them.
2.) Dervish - No one knows who to play them these days.
3.) Monks - Heroes are smarter than real people, that's why.

The only class I just do not enjoy playing is Rit. Spirit Spamming is boring, so I tried Channeling, still boring, so I tried Restoration, and still boring. I love all my other chars, the only reason my Mesmer & Sin don't get played as much as everything else is because so many people still think they suck, but then what are some of the 1st classes they want dead?

With 1 being least favorite:

1. Warrior
2. Assassin
3. Tie btwn Dervish and Necro

Put plainly, I suck at melee classes. I have a horrible sense of direction and often get parties lost when I try to lead them through a mission as a tank. I am far less effective a damage dealer than I think warriors ought to be. I'm just not good at the class. I love playing with them, but I do not want to be one. At all.

Assassins are good, and even fun, for some very specific applications. Otherwise, I don't enjoy having them in a party, and I don't enjoy playing them very much. I spend way too much time running away and/or dying when I should be mowing down the enemy, or else I spend way too much time and energy trying to keep them alive when they haven't got the sense to get out of the frying pan!

Necro used to be my favorite character, but the Soul Reaping nerf just took all the fun out of it for me. I used to be a damage powerhouse with a curses build. Now, I'm lucky if I can fire off 4 spells in an average fight before my energy bar is too low to cast anything useful. Not very much fun anymore. Dervish ties for this spot because, well, I suck at melee characters. I spend way too much time casting spells and setting up enchants, and then... The battle's over just as I'm finally ready to charge in. Not very much fun.

I'm surprised so many people think playing a Rit is boring or useless. Rits are so versatile; I'm never bored playing one. Although I will grant you, it's not easy to play one *well*. The first Rit I created ended up a mule, but once I got to know the game better, I created another Rit, and I've never looked back.

Least Favorite characters:
Warrior (to long to build up adrenaline)
Mesmer (until u learn good skills or know how to control them BORING and their armor yuck >.>)
Paragon (wings r cool skills suck)

oh and for the ppl who don't lyk Dervish...there not bad characters u just need to find someone who know how to control them because a Dervish is either rlly good or rlly bad there is no inbetween.

Favorites:

1ervish--I'm a PvEer. Dervishes can handle just about anything for PvE. Enchants get troublesome, but they're still fun.
2:Ranger--Love trapping and B/Ping. A lot. Versatility points, anyone?
3:Assassin--Well, they just look cool and kill damn fast. I often end up having trouble completing attack chains because my enemies are already dead.

Least Favorite:
1:Paragon--They're too awkward. Just too awkward. I like either concentrating on dealing damage OR supporting. But you need adrenaline for everything, so you GOTTA do some damage.
2:Mesmer--Eh, always wanted to do one, but frankly, they're only good for PvP.
3:Ritualist--WEIRD. These guys never made any sense to me. I understand how their effects work, but I never figured out how to make a good build for one.

ok, here goes nothing: There are currently 10 professions in GuildWars, if i am not mistaken, so i will begin from most faved to least faved.

1.Warrior - Nice damage and condition slaming and even some good paladin builds can do high damage.
2.Ritualist - Spirit spam = FTW, i saw quite a few rit team builds that pwned HA and TA and RA and also rits are good pve farmers, survivors and nukers
3.Derivsh - People who blaim this profession for anything are just palin dumb or just so skilles they dont even know what riposte is. This guys have it all gr8 dmg, gr8er HP and nice condition spams + frequent damage type change.+godmodes are totaly killer, 2bad melandru got nerfed.
4.Elementalist - high damge output, with a good build even nice self healing, they are quite voulnurable thou, but if you blend in a heart of shadow its no more mister nice ele.
5.Assassin i guess - they pwn with scythes to do AoE critical and they have the potential for evading damage, projectiles, surprise atacks and are really nicely pwning because of gr8 dmg output. Every1 fears my assassin.
6.Paragon - equip shouts and stances and some other skills and you have a very versatile runner - this doesn't mean that just because of they're heavy armor they're running somewhere slower, they are at least as responsive as rangers, just you guys are to used to the hippie like profession.
7.Necromancer - was my favorite until jagged bones nurf, was my 2. favorite till my soul reaping nurf, its just sliding down i guess, i bet Anet thinks how should they nurf this innocent profession next, hummm, how about flesh golem nurf? they know how to spoil fun...
8.Monk - I hate this guys, i love em in the team, i like to play them a bit but since im not good at playing a god im just dissed all the time, i guess GOD doesn't like me much.
9.Mesmer - hexes and denial FTW? oh, right every prof now has hex removal, oh look, even mesmers have it since core, and look! we have focus swapping, bleh...
10.Ranger - Die, hippie, die - Eric Cratman <-> do i have to xplain my thoughts even more? i mean, lets tame an animal, man, animals are just like humans man, lets run 2gether, man... wooo troll unguent, (ever noticed the canabis simbol on the animation?)... we dont like anything so we'll just use bows and run out of harms way, allthou we have a nice armor level.... man...
and in real criticysm: low dmg output, low dmg input, wannabe condition spammer - not working if you have a P/Mo in the house - nice armor level but insufficien energy regen i just dont think that even they're aewsome kiting and cripling and dunno what the hell can cope for it... this proffession plinly sucks ass... - yes i have plaid it and yes it still sucks...

no, rly... warrior is still the best i just dont know a good build for pvp but im working on a cripslash right now....

c yaw all, die hippie rangers, die... <-imaninja

my favorites in no specific order
1. ritualist- love using him in all areas of PvP my first char that i really enjoyed playing more interesting to me than my original wammo
2. dervish- i dont see why they take so much hate yes their main flaw is from having alot of enchantments but i do not rely on enchantments to do damage as some say and almost laughed when somone said dervish and "tank" in the same sentence
3. necro before soul reap nerf-used to be fun to run different builds on necros because MM never apealed to me :\

least favourite
paragon-cant play them well although have nice chant animations
warrior- seems just way to run here kill that kill that absorb damage
mesmer- im just not very good at playing them in pve but whenever there is one i always pick them up for my group
