I searched for a thread but didn't find one, so I apologize if it skipped over me.

Self-explanatory, when you're doing AB, PVP, PVE, whatever, what is your least favorite profession(s) to go up against?

Mine is the assassin. They're not bad in PVE except when they use Shadow Form but in PVP/AB, they're the ones that always bring me down. lol

Interrupts FTL.

monk, because I don't know how to use it.

*hides in the stair well* i read the title wrong sorry,

so here's the edit: for PVE is Elementalist in HM ice imps especially *shudders*

PvP well, i think it would have to be mesmer... they are extremely irritating, and I can almost see them grin, i swear everytime they successfully interrupt you.

but its a 50/50 chance that you meet a good mesmer,

cos sometime I can kill them too.

When you have Corrupt Enchant,Gaze of Contempt,Rend Enchant, & Rip Enchant all in a single bar and a person can still continue to throw chant after chant up just to use mystic regen... somethings wrong. You'll still find countless people here that will say theres nothing wrong with that skill though. Balance is a joke...You can tell Izzy doesnt AB & thats a real problem.
Hex degen is all but ruined with this many chants being thrown around. Has been for a long time... at least an assassin can roll over you in 3 seconds.

In PvE I'd probably say Necromancers that waste corspes so my MM can't make minions out of them, but really, nothing troubles me much in PvE.

In PvP, definately Mesmers. They were designed to be an annoyance

Profession in general? Assassin. When they can drop a war in 6 seconds or less something is wrong.

Otherwise: all of them. They each have their specific strengths that can prove extremely useful in given situations. Ele: high source of dmg, snares, and crazy armor bonuses (Earth magic); Mesmer: insanely fast interrupt spells when comboed with Fast Casting; Monk: that's obvious enough; etc...

I have to say rangers in PVP. Reason is because of their stances andthey just run away and start poisoning you and blinding you and interupting your self heals.. its so annoying.

For PVE... I'd have to say ele bosses 'cause they can dish out some serious dps and leave a party dead in no time flat if you aren't ready for it. (example being SF bosses)

Necros and mesmers.

Alternatively, I love facing most warriors, eles, sins, rits, and paragons on my ranger. Fun times.

Rangers. Not any kind of rangers, but the kind that spam interrupts and get lucky when they hit a key skill. Those ones can go die in a fire.

Confirm. They can die in a car fire. They are bad enough to lose games for you if they are on your team in RA/TA, but lucky enough to screw you over when you have a good team by spamterrupting a key skill.

I hate fighting wrestlers.
They always gotta back up and do the run at you while hunched thing.
And they do it one hundred freaking times to drag the fight out.
Just hit me with the chair already.

That is officially the most annoying creature out there.
[skill]Lightning Reflexes[/skill] on calling-torment ranger in a melee heavy team and all the "Wilds" are recharging.
Grrr!

(But then again - it's not like it makes these baddies impossible or anything. I just waste 10 seconds that I could spend looking at my characters haircut or armour!)

PvP: Good rangers, no doubt. They take ages to kill and their interrupts are deadly.

PvE: Mesmer mobs

As a monk, I don't like playing against Rangers. Apply poison makes my entire party bar green, I don't like that, then they interrupt me and poison me, how annoying is that! Mesmers are fun to play against, because if I can respond well against hexes, makes it challenging.

When I play ele, pretty much every profession is hard to deal with unless I'm playing a blind bot, but not counting that, warriors because they don't go down very easy and they hit me hard.

Probably a necro packing anti-melee skills

Favorites to be against are:
MM when i'm my spike Sin (shadow step into mob, kill MM, run away and watch the chaos as the minions mob the dead MM's allies)
Sins when i'm my warrior, they just can't beat me

Usually they're not so much of a problem as you can keep on the move in AB. I just hate it when one has shit spirits all over a shrine

That's why Holy Spear is my favorite GWEN skill of all.

Back on topic, nothing worse to face than a good ranger. You will know when you face a truly good one, because your whole team feels the effects. Degen + critical interrupts (i.e., TABbing for key skills and not just spamming Savage and Dshot on one target) is hard to fight against on any level.

4 healing monks vs 4 healing monks in RA is "Doh!" and "Leave!" "No you leave!!" until hell freezes over.

Good thing it only happens once every year.
