Mine is the assassin, they get in your face like a fly on a cool fall day. I always make sure to carry throw dirt to get them off of me.

I believe I play the most annoying class... the mesmer.

Note to assassins... if you see a mesmer running towards you... run away.

For me, it would have to be elementalists. Not because they bother me in particular (although I don't know why in the hell they aim for RANGERS first...), but because they can own the npc's at shrines with very little effort.

But why in the hell are elementalists always aiming for me when I usually play on a ranger in AB?

Assassins are easy to deal with a defensive skill, stance, or an interrupt.

Would have to be assassins for me, but mostly because everyone and their dog is playing one or a secondary sin...just gets boring.

Rangers, especially touchers...They just hit and run and I hate having to chase them around.

Not to mention their constant condition spamming and trapping of shrines.


On the other hand, I love assassins that teleport to me...I snare them and smash them...that is fun.

Touch rangers, I hate them so much. E/D's were so easy, gaze of contempt or daze, touch rangers require more and im always in a heated battle with 2-3 others when they rush up and start vampin me so I just cant sustain myself. And my heals dont save me.

Sins, blah! I tap healing hands let them pannel beat me back to full hp....thanks. then i mend touch myself and slash them to pieces.

Well, simple, rangers are ultra-strong tanks to elementalists. You piss the ranger off, they're gonna pay attention to you, with the daze, the interrupts, the conditions. As an elementalist, a better target is an assassin, monk, or mesmer.

I agree with sins. Conditions, kd, snares are annoying. Touch rangers come in second. A good blinding will take care of sins though.

lol i like touchers they funny
They attack me i cripple them then step back and watch them get owned by the ranged players

Sin's i don't like they always think they can beat me one on one and while killing them is fun it's irritating they think they are better than warriors
I have been killed by ONE sin in one-on-one in AB

If I don't see a sin coming and can't blind him in time, he can kill me in like, 3 seconds. However for the most part I can usually deal with them. Necros can be really annoying, they're the only class that I have a hard time dealing with, they keep making minions and stealing health from them when they're about to die.

Mesmer + Snare (I like Eth. Burden) + Conjure Phantasm + Conjure Nightmare = Dead Touchie.

Snare em and degen em. If they can't touch you, they wither and die.

Tip for eles, or secondary eles, for getting rid of sins, Gale + blinding flash, problem solved, then, as the old AP tradition dictates, 'Nuke their faces off'.

The most annoying class for me, anyways, is a mesmer, as their hexes are the only thing that potentially kills the PvP Burning Arrow - Res + Pin Down, atleast in my experience using it. Necros can be annoying too.

I find mesmers to be the most annoying. Especally if they sneak up on you.

Sins are very easy to disrupt. Very.
For touch rangers that"s another matter, are they are resilient to everything.
However, their DPS is so low that you generally don't care if you have a monk on your team.
You can stand against 2 touchers with just ZB and signet of Devotion.

Touchers can be annoying. Minion Masters with back up can be tricky, as you'll start beating on them then their back up comes running in, tho that's not so much a class alone

Sin's can be tricky sometimes, depending on what I'm running

Earth Tanks, or Elementalists running mystic regen get annoying

Well, it's AB, so most of my time is spent capping. I don't usually run into other enemy players unless I'm hit with a mob. (In which case, it's not really an annoying profession, just a poorly organized team being annoying by mobbing when they should be capping in small groups.)

That said, on occassion I do have to fight other players. The most annoying of those are monks, usually, because sometimes I cap on my own and there's a monk standing there, kiting and healing the NPCs. Rits and trappers that poop their crap on NPC shrines before they leave are pretty annoying, too.

In overall combat, though, of course touchers are the most annoying. They're not really so deadly, you just can't counter them conventionally, and they feel the need to use running skills to chase you around, touching you while you're trying to get something done.

To me, anyone that comes into AB with a 1v1 build and isn't set up for capturing shrines is a waste of a player slot. I see people on occassion just immediately run off to look for and kill the one profession they're designed to kill. Real impressive, retard. Thankfully AB is a little higher up on the PvP scale than Aspenwood, which is full of that sort of thing.

This is true if your sin is completely retarted.... anyone that knows 1 milisecond of information about playing a sin would stop attacking

My Ritualist. She effectively heals allies, tanks and can take out a shrine (solo) in less than 5 seconds.

Warriors, assassins and dervishes don't like her very much. Elementalists are her bane, though ...;(

Touch rangers. It's like having a fly buzzing around your head incessently.

And good monks. The kind I have no hope of killing. The bad monks really amuse me though. If I can kill a monk without having any anti-monk skills... lol

But seriously I'm at rank 4 kurzik title and while I agree touchers are one of the most annoying classes I was always really annoyed by sins. That why I started playing one.

I at first was not fimilar with them and just played the Shadow Prison build. Now I play a seeping wounds shadow step varient and I have a blast. Sure it can be countered easily but it can cap, kill fast, move around, heal and effectively use signet of toxic shock, ya!.

However sins still sometimes piss me off so I recently switched my hex to siphon strength.

Since I always play a Tiger Sin in PvP these days (sorry guys), I've found it rather easy to down an MM. Simply aggro their minions, pull them a bit, SP and unleash your combo. I bring Disrupting Dagger in place of my sig, and use it at the end of my combo in case they try to bring out a heal. Easy win.

Just my $.2. Not a whole lot to talk about in the Guru, at the moment...

i'd go for assasin also, take your eye of them for a second and they will kill you with the same annoying combo.

Touch rangers are also tedious, but not in the same league as assasin danger wise.

I played E/D's a bit(loads) when NF came out, 'cos it made me feel like some kind of mursaat boss that never dies, but everyone asking me what build it was got annoying >_<.

and monks, the ones who spam zealous benediction and prot spirit killing my spikes >_<


but... assasins/playing using assasin skill lines for sure.
