/agree.

I hate it when people do this it's like they think all of a sudden they got better skills and can take you on over and over again and they won't die. I had this happen where I killed the same guy going after me about 5 times in a row and then I let him kill me once, lets just say he had some very nice comments to come along with my (staged) death.

You can kill them 5 times but when they finally get that one kill on you they think they are the best player ever. It's funny and quite sad how stupid and egocentric people are in a game.

Funny story, got a terra tank in my group for an AB once and he was standing on the res shrine just tanking damage from like 2 sins and a war... I hit one of the sins with SS and the war with IP and all 3 dropped... How people don't stop attacking when they see the SS curse on them is beyond me...

I must admit that this annoys me too. Yesterday I killed a Sin who then made a vendetta out of it. I killed him three more times, by which time I was bored with that game, so instead of killing him a 5th time I decided to run away and do some capping. He chased me halfway round the map calling me a nice selection of names, so I lead him to our Elementalist shrine and he was fool enough to follow :-))

It's not a specific class I dislike but I dislike those people who play solo-farmbuilds and can't kill a thing. It's just annoying.

QFT. PvE is that way, guys -->

I don't think there's a truly annoying profession in AB; just irritating builds. The aforementioned touchers, though none of the builds I play tend to have a problem with them (ranger, water ele, air ele with Gale, ZB monk), and possibly sins because it seems like they're played a lot by people who are only really good at pressing 12345 real fast (that's not to say I haven't encountered excellent, smart sins in ABs; they are out there).

But yeah. Builds annoy. Professions don't

Touchers. I can't mystic regen quick enough to heal against it, so I usually cast a running skill and move away. Just hoping I'm not getting crippled.

Sins, way too many of them. At least you get to savage their chain if you play ranger.

I would have to say mesmers are as annoying as they get, although sometimes rits are up there haha.

An example of an horribly annoying build, it draws too much attention from people who just cant ignore them. Often therefor i play enchant hate with my necro, i just love to bring these guys down, Dervishes go down too nicely, except vow of silence D's, but i met only one once

I find the most annoying is the Touch Ranger. I'm a Mesmer myself, and like someone said in the early pages, if you're an Assassin and you see a Mesmer running toward you, run away

Either the Assassin kills himself while doing me no harm, or he realizes halfway through his chain that he's killing himself and then he will start running away. Sometimes it's too late, sometimes he can save himself.

I'm looking at the all-too-predictable touch rangers ("Oooh now he's gonna charge right up into my blackout...now he'll run away, and then come back for more of the exact same thing...") and the clone-copy ZB monks ("Hey, this monk is exactly like the last seven monks I had to fight!").

Does that include the IW mesmer running towards the necromancer equipped with Corrupt Enchantment?

Most annoying profession?

Anyone playing who quits mid match cause they cant hack losing, mean really why play in the first place you cant win them all.

I usually keep going because by the time SS has killed me, I've usually killed at least the person who put it on me

As for annoying builds, mesmers or hex necros are sometimes a problem but since I'm often in an organised team with guildies the monk takes care of that.

One that I like to play to see how many people I can make rage quit is a thunderclap/shocking bow build. Can keep going for quite a while with 100+ energy, and it's especially good at mopping up mobs :P

this is where the subtle differnces between [skill]Spoil Victor[/skill] and [skill]Spiteful Spirit[/skill] come into play, 99% of the GW population know what SS is, SV is slightly less well known and has the advantage that alot people seem to think, oh hes almost dead, ill fight though it ^^

Well, I don't know about you guys, But I usually bring a build that can counter most things, so assasins and such aren't much of a problem. I'd say touchies are most annoying, not because they are good, but they are annoying when i get them on my team. Waste of a damn slot.
