I said Rit with necro coming up a sure second, only not winning because there are necro builds except for the defensive blocks of shit that are hexers, just they arent being played right now.Rit is almost always a gay bitch bar.

Also, I love the idiots who say that monking is staring at red bars.

I despise assasins. They are an absolute trainwreck of a class that makes almost no positive contribution to the game. Their two unique features, Rigid attack chains and Shadowstepping, are reasons #1 and 2 that competitive play started to die once factions was released.

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

Its a pity I have only one vote. I would vote for all expansion professions. But when I have only one shot, I would choose paragon. Their passive, impossible to remove defense skills, huge AL, never-ending IAS, and huge ranged DPS are breaking the competitive side of the game.

I feel the same way about monk, its boring when your forced to stare at the health bars to be effective.

Monk shouldn't be the ultimate healer and thats it, if everyone else had to work together to help each other stay alive it would be more fun. For example, if a monk was running an energy-hog build or had to constantly heal to the point of needing a necro to bip them the whole time... thats team work. But the way it is now, you find the monk doing the job of ONLY healing, necro bip ONLY doing bip and maybe a hex or 2.. thats it for the supposed team work. It falls into roles, who's doing what exclusively and only every where all the time... snore

Generally more about how long you can endure fights rather than until your bored, ya know?

funny that all the expansion professions got the most votes.
also funny how most gimmicks include professions from the expansions.
i voted for Rit because they do lots of things, but aren't that great at any of them.

Assassin. I don't know why, but there's various reasons.

1) They STILL run like drunk gorillas.
2) Ever observe a HoH fight? Those female assassin battle grunts get REAL repetitive.
3) Most assassins I've run into are jerks/noobs/think they can tank.
4) Boring. Shadow step, lead, offhand, dual. Die. Beg for res. Repeat.

I'm so happy the rangers are the least hated!

They used to summon good until ANET killed Communing and Spawning Power.

Ritualists, dervishes, and EVEN warriors and assasins, all those other most hated profs are more fun... and useful....

People that voted Paragon because they are "useless" really need to go and seek medical advice.

hard to say. i've had fun playing all of them though i tend to gravitate to ranger, monk, rit and warrior.

paragon's kinda subtle, even though it's great (for a hero...).

well, usually...anything that's not ranger actually is my least favorite for one reason or another. i can never complain about ranger. we never have to say, "sorry," to each other. it's a good relationship.

pretty much anyone that says that a class is, "useless," or, "sucks," is someone that has no idea how to play that class. they all kick ass when used right (and i remember the time i was on my mesmer in a group with 3 assassins and no monks...the 1 rit in the group was channeling...and we got masters on that one factions mission where you pop the 4 portals in cantha...the one with the 4 shiro'ken bosses at the end...i forgot the name)

I voted Monk simply because they seem really lame like.... Hey look at me i'm a monk I stans back and let my friends do the fighting and heal them.... I know they are important but I just find healing people to be very boring I played a Monk for about 1 month worst month i've spent playing GW lol.

I'm surprised Dervish is so high up on the list, I thought it was an awesome class in so many regards; original concept, aoe centric, can be a very effective "active tank", soaking up damage with skills and not armor - almost like a mage tank.
I'm a nut for aoe since it's so incredibly satisfying to see all those numbers pop up on your screen when you run into a crowd and set off a chain.

Anyway, not meaning to stray off topic.

It's a tie between warrior and elementalist for me because they're just kinda.. basic. I voted ele since I don't get any satisfaction at all from just standing back and trying to dish out as much dps as possible to the correct target, give or take a blind here and a buff there. I found ele tank to be kinda fun, I guess.

As for the non-prophecies classes, definately paragon. Their armor looks uninteresting and not very varied between the different sets. Their playstyle seems a bit fuzzy, the only thing I've "nailed down" in regards to what they're supposed to do is stay close to the group to benefit from all the "within earshot" criteria. Direct damage paragons seem a bit eh, condition applying paragons seem a bit eh, tanking paragons seem a bit eh. All in all I just feel there are better options if you want to most of the things the paragon can do, except for the shouts and echoes. Their shout animation looks heaps awesome though.
Their lack of a quiver also looks exceptionally goofy, even more so than the ranger.

Warrior. Playing them is incredibly dull and they are the least versatile class... Derv has higher DPS as melee and I find sitting there watching stuff hit me to be incredibly pointless and a waste of a slot.

i disagree, even tho you have a fair point, im a big fan of hammer warriors, not so much sword and axe ones due to the fun of running around KD ing people and dealign insane damage eg 248 damage vs max armour eles in ab.
i dont really like dervishes,want to farm,use your ele,monk,necro,war,rit, want aoe damage try ele,barrage ranger etc, want quick kill mele sin, they are origional yes,but the fact the only char i dont have isa derv shows my discontempt for them. But having said that i have seen some quality derv players out there, probably because they get more fun out of them. my fave classes are ele rits and mesmers

voted dervish here. I have yet to run with one that can stay alive thru the first battle. I will not take one into my group any more, and if i get into a group that has 1, I leave. I would really like to meet just 1 person that can actually play the profession successfully.

Kinda hard to meet a good dervish when you keep leaving their groups.

as of today the 4 least liked classes are the 4 new ones and the core ones are the favorite.

I picked the assassin because I could never get into them.

Assassin represents what I hate most about lots of online games. OMG NINJA YAYA. Its really not my thing. Not to mention their armors.... Look at all my spikes and blades!

I dont really like any of the new classes. Paragon is interesting concept, but not really my thing.

Warrior being my favourite. I have and always will be the warrior type in every game I play.

For all those people who hate paragons, I would take a motivation/warrior paragon over any other character because the buffs they provide are better than ANY support class, and they relieve the monks significantly in battles.

Obviously, people who complain about paragons have:
1. Either not played them
2. Do not understand paragon skills

i think u should switch the names of those 2 so it sounds like this:

monk... putting up enchantments, smashing buttons, running back is just... not my thing... Any1 can do it... and with the shite armor its even more crap... 1 snare and: BOOM dead.

and for the people who say sins suc? its more than just jumping in and unleashing a combo... more like: watching your position, others, monsters their fighting against... what skills to activate when etc... HANDS UP FOR TEH SINS!

Warrior - just think of every wammo that used mending, didn't really do damage, and called you a noob because he died after overaggroing.
Paragon - Can't protect as well as a monk, can't attack at range like a ranger, can't tank like a warrior, can't dance like an ele.
Assassin - just think of every time you failed [Insert Canthan mission] because the lvl 17 self-styled super ninja over aggroed.

and the winner goes to.....



Warrior. Just because so many think they are the linchpin of a team, and overall the most versatile/contributing, when they are anything but.
