My favorite to play as is warrior. Just like to be able to run in there and hack'n'slash. Second favorite is Monk. Like to heal too.

They can actually be pretty awesome tanks if they know how to. Sadly, most don't know how to.

Is that a good or a bad thing?

Just because they keep me alive doesn't mean they're a favourite by a long shot.

Dervish hands down. I love the profession. Lots of juggling of enchants and high damage skills. Makes me feel like I'm actually doing something.

I hate naruto but i love the assassin in gw for two reasons. The style of play while looking awesome activating skills. And just the aura of teleporting, killing, and getting the job done the fastest. Not that its in my own nature of conducting myself... or something... :P

It was really close between monk and ranger. I really have a LOT of fun when I play Ranger and every time I play it it's a rewarding experience. This is not always true of when I monk.

However, when playing monk becomes rewarding, it is extremely rewarding. Voted Monk. Plus, everyone knows me by my monking over my rangering.

Nah if everything goes right, then heals are rarely ever needed but when it goes wrong that's when you know if you have a good monk or a bad one. In PvE I get bored if everything goes too well and the party rarely needs heals but when there's a wrong pull or an accidental aggro then it's fun time for me. PvP I'm usually being targeted so I stay busy, so no complaints there!

So think of your monks! Take dmg! Bring frenzy! (this rule does not apply to pvp)

Busy monk = happy monk (well for me anyways)

You're telling people to suck at the game, on purpose.

No, she's pointing out the difference between good monks and bad ones. Good monks can conserve energy well and know when to heal and when not to, and generally can keep the party up through pretty much anything. The frenzy bit was an exaggeration, which you should've realized. (Although, I have brought it into RoT without a cancel stance before, and not died a single time, with a certain monk's support <3). With the right monks in your backline, you can pull bigger mobs and clear areas much faster, compared to mediocre/poor ones who need pauses every few seconds for regen. To those good monks, it's more fun when they're actively healing large spikes or damage spread across the party, and boring when hardly anyone's taking damage.

Actually, i love when all goes well because then i can just kick back in my chair and listen to music while i leech drops and run around in circles, It's like they farm for me . But sometimes being busy is fun, Just not always for me since I'm so lazy.

She said it's fun when she has to heal a lot.
She said when things go smoothly, she doesn't need to heal a lot, hence it's not fun.

Is there some sort of sarcasm I'm not detecting? Sarcasm is impossible to spot out on the Guru.

Add: Yeah I'm seeing this at a completely different angle. Game over, man.

Err... no? I also play monk, albeit less frequently than warrior or ranger. Yes, it's boring when there's no healing to be done. A monk who isn't healing is nothing more than a leech. It'd be the same as playing a warrior with no enemies to kill. Wouldn't that be easy, yet boring? More fun when there's more to do. I enjoy the fast pace of a frantic battle with large numbers of enemies, and despise mobs with few, easily killed monsters. It's the same for her on monk, she likes to heal and hates boring fights in which nobody takes damage, 'cause she has nothing to do.

Worded confusingly 'cause it's like 2 am, but I hope you grasp the concept now.

Warrior is my favourite, as it's my main character. My other most used character is my Elementalist, so Warrior then Ele are my favourite, and then probably Paragon or Dervish or something.

Monk, Necro or Ele. Any of these three professions are equal to me, and you're almost always guaranteed a team!

My favorite depends on my mood.

My War was my first character(2 years old tomorrow!) and it's still fun to get out front and chop away.

My healer's responsible for about 500 of the 1350 hours I've played. Before heroes I'd regularly have a join invite before I was even fully loaded into a mission town.

Ele is what I've been playing the last few weeks. She was semi-retired, but I've discovered the joys of leading a 3-searing flame-ele team. It's a Huge cannon, but tricky; you have to set the baddies up like bowling pins to get the biggest bang. Mobs scattered amongst you mean a quick retreat or quick death.

Ranger and necro are both flexible and fun, but they're my 2nd-tier guys.
I dabbled with the rest, but they haven't really held my interest.

The Ritualist of course!

- Heals better than a Monk (Restoration)
- Deals as much damage as an Ele (Channeling)
- Protects the party (Communing)
- Can be used as a minion master (Spawning)
- Farms (VwK)

Next comes the Ranger, also due to its versatility

Monks are the best, hands down. Their healing and protection, of course, is unmatched, and they are the most desirable class in the game. What's not to love?

Easy question, Mesmer!
I think its one of the most unique class around...unlike warrior which is very dull and can be seen in EVERY rpg. But than again rpg needs a melee brute! ^^

Warrior for me, I like the idea of being a sword wielding knight.

Ranger, would come a close second, since its a nice change from being a warrior and can be alot of fun. Also ranger is very verstaile.

The top 4 voted here (Warrior, Ranger, Monk, Elementalist) are pretty much the top 4 you'll see universally for ANY RPG game with those roles.

Warrior, Ranger, Monk, Wizard were the most popular classes when Everquest came out.

EDIT: And by Monk I mean Cleric (Monk was an actual melee class that wasn't widely played at first but did become extremely popular later on).

Anywhere but Guild Wars now, sadly.

It's a shame, this game had so much potential, but is ruined due to stale gameplay and lame updates

Warrior, without a doubt.
Being a Tyrian Hand Axe weilding maniac in Black Elite Charr Hide armor never gets old!

Oh and my second favorite?
Paragon :O

Domination mesmer, especially with power block and diversion on his bar is my favorite thing to play. I also enjoy playing water elementalist. Generally someone, who's messing up with opposite team efficiency.

I think i may have answered before but I like Eles because of their variety. Setting things on fire is always fun too ;p

Dervish is my least favorite. Rather boring imo. Just a mix of existing stuff and some fancy Forms.

Funny that all 4 non-core professions are the bottom 4 here and in the least favourite thread, they are top 4. GW was much better with core professions only.
