Can't think of any specific class (except for touch rangers... )...
But the thing that irks me the most is the *players* who seem to get personally offended when I kick their ass/screw their combo, and spend the rest of the match stalking me (mostly 'sins, funnily enough - I'm a serial B-Surge, and most sins are 123456 retards... good combo, easy faction - for me )

Shadow Prison Assasins and Wammo's.

The assassins because they just love to kill the lone caster, I always see them chasing me when I play mesmer or necro just so they can get a kill off. I especially hate it when the same one continously goes for me. It is a great satisfaction to bring ineptitude into AB. They are easy to beat with on of the old aura of displacement assassins though I love to beat them with the old school build.

Wammo's or pretty much every kind of warrior. They just chase you to the ends of the map thinking that they can kill you and just waste your time. Crip/poison and run, and then 20 seconds later I see them steaming ahead to try and kill me again. They are an annoyance that is dealt with in time.

For me, touchers are easy to handle -- if you can time interrupting shot right, you can debilitate them severely. Time it again right, and they're boned. I don't know how many touchers I've murdered by interrupting one of their touch skills, and kiting them to their death.

Gotta be those touchies. Damn near impossible to kill if you arent prepared (i.e. no snare), but its so annoying how pathetic they are. Back at the height of their popularity I was on Saltspray Beach and the Kurzicks had 6 touchies. gee frickin gee.

Asassins dont usally bug me, cus I almost always bring a blind skill to counter Assasins/Rangers/Wammos/Dervs/Paragons.

Whenever I AB, I always play my burning arrow ranger... it's so much freakin' fun! Spread degen with poison and burning. Interrupt those pesky ele's that bring spells that take 3 secs to cast. And my favorite of all has to be taking on the sins and wars 1 on 1. It's hilarious to watch a sin or war die because they continually attack you when whirling defense is up.

Rangers are so effective because they have the ability to bring effective offense, defense, healing and running skills all on one bar. That's something that any other profession has a tough time duplicating.

I'd have to say assassins. When I see one, and fight them 1 on 1, I ususally win. But when they jump you while your in the middle of a fight, or running away from a big group, it's just plain annoying.

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.

Really annoying

There is no such thing as an annoying AB profession. If something is annoying that simply means you didn't bother to bring enough counters to it, and it's not the "annnoying profession's" fault that you didn't.

I only play assassin or Dervish basically and so
Eles are very annoying, well only Eles with blind, anything else isn't anything to worry about

Mesmers are even more annoying than eles.

Monks are not annoying, unless there smite monks, cus then they could do like 100 damage to you before they die.

Anyways I choose ele simply because they can carry aoe blind.

Definetly the Mesmer, everyone likes to attack. I always play mesmer with ineptitude, clumsiness, sig of clumsiness, images of remorse and a few other skills. Basically when anything feels they need to jump in my face I will kill them on the spot. Caster arent always easy but every NPC wands and attacks so thats damage there and you occasionally have human casters that will wand which creates a ton of damage. Assassin maybe bothers me the most when ineptitude recharges otherwise I feel like king of the battlefield

I have to say that Monks are the most annoying AB prof. They don't really pose as a threat, but they are a royal pain when they start getting in the way of your kills.

I think the question of why eles are attacking Rangers was asked because, when it comes to elemental damage, rangers have 100 Armor. That's right, and extra 30 armor whenever dealing with ele dmg - and thats not even factoring in any insignias. So sure, rangers can be a pest to eles, but that's more of a reason for eles to AVOID rangers. Better to sick a warrior or assassin on them. Or better still, a mesmer.

I don't find any profession a pain yet, sometimes getting killed is a good way for me to get out of a hell zone lol

Playing a fast cast air mesmer at the mo most annoying thing is getting up enchants and then being killed just as you get them up, this isnt anyones fault though I just time them wrong sometimes,

obviously some builds can rip through mine but why would i find them annoying? I enjoy playing this build and love going solo up against the odd warrior and assassin that thinks it can take me out coz im on my own, a lot of the time i can go up against elementalists and get close calls, but if they win its fun, AB is the one aspect of this game where i actually don't mind dying, now dying in in HM when vanquishing thats annoying, especially when you are on the last few kills.

I find AB relaxing and a good get away from the rest of GW which is far more competative, unfortunatly though with the new rewards for it I'm not as likely to play it, as there is little reward for losing anymore

Touch rangers bother me more than any other build. I have yet to come across a build that is good for universal use, but also capable of warding off a molester(Touch ranger).

Agreed with the above. I end up running past these guys especially the ones who think AB is a tanking area. Got no problem with mesmers good to see some of them in action


PS: I also evade riposte tanks that think AB is a 1vs1 warrior area.

That goes for any profession at all really.

Hmmm..that's a tough one.

Well I don't AB any more but I still play in FA. My mesmer lives there. Anyway I would have to say the number one most annoying build for me is the touch ranger. I have been able to take them out, but other times it seems like the "god mode" of guild wars. Funny thing is I never saw one until an issue of "The Scribe" mentioned this. Then I saw them everywhere. Anyway sometimes they get me, but if they are attacking somebody else, I can usualy take em out.

Second would be E/D builds. It seems like no matter how much degen you give them they just won't die. Luckly i've found a few other builds to counter it.

Last one I think is some sort of Sin build. I think it's "Shadow Mantle" or something like that. I used to make sins run for the hills, but now some of them just come at me out of the shadows and i'm dead before I can react. At the same time though I kind of respect sins that can do this because they are such a hated profesion. I even gave a few props the other day in FA after they took me out a few times.

I would say monks, but a few nights ago I played in a match against 5 monks, 2 sins, and 1 necro. It was during that match I figured out mesmers are good at taking monks out, and if not that, then putting enough pressure on them to let the rest of your team kill the other guys.

I don't see why mesmers are so underated, I think they are great in pvp.

Most annoying would have to be gank sins, normal sins aren't a problem especially if I'm playing on my necro, but the ones that randomly gank you are annoying as hell.

And this one's not so annoying and kind of rare to come by in AB, Hexers (Mes, Necros, etc.) that know what they are doing. It's not that often that you encounter them but they are annoying.

And anything that puts you in a snare I can handle being crippled (just use Mending Touch) but the snare hexes are an annoyance.

Ritualists who use shadowsong. Since I usually play combat professions (or a hexer), shadowsong annoys me to no end. Can't even kill it cuz I'm blind!

Mesmers, as such, I ALWAYS play one in AB.

Thus, the only thing I fear as a mesmer in AB is a ranger who knows how to use interupts.

I play as a Water Ele or Mesmer or Necro in AB most of the time!

I'd say I hate MM the most in AB!

A lot of people mention sin and mesmers... well, I only hate sin if they use teleport hex, or else I can stop them easy with Water Elementalist or Mesmer with Inpeititude. And as for Mesmers... yes they are a threat, but if they are snared + stuck inside my Maelstrom... or they can't shut down my build, they're just like rest of the casters.

As for MM... it's hard to reach them with 10 Minions around... especially if I don't have any degen skills and they're using Aura of Lich + Taste of death to reduce dmg and instantly gain health.

It would have to be a water ele

Touchers are annoying but u can get away from them easily, water ele's however put snares on me over and over again and i get mobbed by all the luxons.... apart from that i generally find AB easy due to the luxons mobbing while we just cap points...

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

Fire ele's and degen necro/mesmers annoy me the most. Everything else is childs play

The only assassin that can take me down is the build that dazes u when the shadow step.

Terra Tanks are a fave of mine, Chillblains + Plague Touch = dead terra tank... hehehehe

As you may have guessed, I play an SS/IP necro...

Either someone who runs a pointless tank build, with the purpose of having 10 wammos follow them trying to kill them with their amazing 0 dmg hits.

Also, after you kill someone 1v1, and you have ~20% health left, the noobs who run up to you and kill you with power attack then laugh and call you a noob.

No professions are 'annoying' to me as such, I just hate people who run vendettas in AB. By that, I mean, you own them once, and they come after you for the entire match. Seriously, you got killed once, deal with it? It's all about capping, not trying to kill the same individuals over and over again...

Playing a touch bomber necro mostly in AB, the things that frequently spell my demise are interrupts, enchantment stripping and crippling. That means rangers and mesmers. Assassins are pests but I can usually outdamage them. I love being able to destroy armour-reliant builds, i.e. dervishes, warriors and sometimes elementalists.

Allied monks, 3 real reasons:

1. By the end of an Ab match odds are your team is scattered
2. It tends to make the players on your team careless - "o we have a monk ill drop my healing skill"
3. I play [skill]Spoil Victor[/skill]

Seriouslly though SV mops up most gimmiky builds in Ab....cept perhaps Touch rangers thats more of stalemate, I love SV on assassins, by the time tey've hit their 2nd skill they whack shadow refuge and whimper away
