Good monks. They can usually save their butt.

hehe happens to me sooo many times in AB

annoying to fight.. mesmers.. they screw with your mindddd

or when i'm monking, a sin that uses beguiling haze or shroud of silence or temple strike when i'm monking.. i see that hit me and i turn tail and runrunrun, seeing as how there is no one around to save me in AB unless i'm extramly lucky and another monk takes pity on me. all other sin builds are pretty easy to resist aslong as i don't do something stupid.

Oh yeah I forgot, I hate dervishes in AB. Mystic regen and all the avatars ftl. And E/D's are just as bad because of all the enchants combined with mystic regen.

for me as a Rit, it's rangers arrg before I can throw any spells I'm either poisoned, crippled, dazed or interrupted <_< and when I don't have a spirit nearby to use mend body/soul.
Sins are 'ha-ha' if I somewhat see them coming. Weapon of Shadow...

For me, it's mesmers. I play a mesmer myself, and dealing with the other classes tends to be side-splittingly laughably easy. But mesmer vs mesmer... That's an ugly situation. Thank the gods that this is a team based game

most other classes are fairly balanced but i hate dervs just so icky the only one that can hold a candle are the straight scythe/earth prayer ones that deal damage

No one makes more of these threads than you eh..

anyways, monk or mesmer, assassins are easy enough to beat, just throw a stance on before they start their combo and laugh while they chain 3 other skills that do nothing :P

Mesmers in PvP, with Ritualists as a close second.

Rangers in PvE.

Probably snare Elementalists because they seem to always have one or two Assassin buddies (This is in AB, so more often than not they're from the same guild) that like to gang up on me. Usually, when I see a Water Hex I hope it's just a random Water Elementalist and not a guild waiting to pounce!

I'd have to go with a mesmer. More specifically anti-caster mesmer. Sometimes I get lucky and the person sucks at using their interrupts, but I've played against some really good ones. Nothing more annoying than getting Mind Burn interrupted = exhaustion with no damage output Kudos to all you mesmers that are good at what ya do.

As a Monk, Mesmers are naturally my least favorite profession to go against. Rangers can be pretty nasty as well

Hmm... This is difficult to sum up in a single generalisation. I find certain professions among certain foes worse. I don't like shiro'ken monks in general, and their eles can be nasty (depending on team). But other monks are often a breeze.

If I had to make a broad-sweeping generalisation - I dislike rangers the most.

In pvp it really depends on the skill of the player, but generally monks and mesmers, though rangers can be a pain too.

It depends, if im on a character that mostly attacks then air eles, if im on a spell caster then rangers or mesmers.

Monks, simply because if you have a build thats not meant to do overwhelming damage or shut down, you're pretty much gunna waste your time.

Warriors. I always get panicky when a warrior starts unrelentingly pounding on me. Dervish and assassins, not really.

Eles can be a pain with their high-powered spells constantly slamming you.

Mesmers annoy me (although my fav prof) cause they're either draining your energy to death or casting backfire or empathy on you so you're rendered useless unless you remove it.

Rits can be hell (especially factions rit bosses) cause they'll use spirits to heal themselves or they'll constantly rez teammates with flesh of my flesh.

The most annoying to play against in PvP are dervishes that think they are gods (which almost all do), Earth tank Eles, dolyak sig HH HB riposte Wammos (Ive seen some with WoH too), and interupt spamming multistance rangers.

The "IM GOD FEAR ME!" dervs are just annoying not too hard to kill cause they just finish throwing up their enchants by the time the battle is half over and they do stupid things like try to solo alot of people. "You shall eat my scythe, GO GO GO GADGET GOD FORM"

Same with the wammos, and earth tank eles. I just leave em alone cause they dont do enough dmg to shake a stick at. These people are usually the ones with the dumb comments in AB like "HAHAHAHA 6 on 1 and it still took forever for you to kill me, NOOBS" wow congrats you can take alot of damage and do absolutely nothing in way of helping the rest of your team.

The interupt spamming multistance rangers dont worry me too much cause theres not much they can do against my warrior (wow you interupted NOTHING) or monk(guardian FTW) they are just plain annoying. conditions rangers apply dont bother me cause I usually plague touch em off if I have no monk(in AB), unless its a GOOD cripshot/pindown ranger. not the BA rangers that most of em run cause thats the only thing half the rangers know how to do if they actually use a bow.

The Thumpers, Packhunters, touchers, and dagger wielding rangers are just gimmics, cheap gimmics, pretty annoying to come across as well, not a huge threat just annoying cause most of them think they are amazing cause they can use a build they didnt think of and be somewhat good at it when a brain dead vegetable in the hospital with a twitch could play one if you set his hand on a keyboard.

I also hate playing against any pure anti melee builds if I dont have a monk in AB. I "love" the necros that camp on me when Im on my war, with Insidious parasite, Spitefull Spirit and Empathy, I just /taunt them as an ele or someone else kills them.

Asscasters are a pain in the ass as well, not a whole lot you can do when your on your ass half the time.

Thats all that comes to mind in PvP. I know its not a short list but all these are just rather annoying, not too difficult in anyway just annoying. I dont like people that dont play the profession with the weapon its supposed to be played with it just annoys me.

In PvE it would be boss monks if my group doenst have much of anything in way of interupts and there's other monks in the baddy group.

Rit bosses seem to be big damage dealers too.

I don't like having to go up against Mesmers and Eles. Or competent Sins. Everyone just expects sins to suck, so when they don't you feel all embarrassed that you actually lost to one. :P

But yeah, Mesmers that can strip away my enchants/deny my energy/slow me down/interrupt my damage control are probably my least favorite. XD

I laughed. XD This is also why I try to take quick-cast enchants and keep an eye on my HP when I play a derv. And personally, Balth is wildly overrated.

Hey, that's me! <|:D

EDIT: Anti-Attacker Necros. After that first hex hits, I'll look for them and try to interrupt the rest, but otherwise, there isn't much I can do. Most of the time in ABs, I don't have trouble with any other profession.

When on my assassin, I hate fighting...

Prot Monks: Because they find it funny that I can't instagib them when they're fully protted.

Necro NPCs in AB: Curse them... that's all I can say

And that's all...

I love fighting melees that don't actually pay attention to what they're doing.
