Gotta go with Palawa Joko, as well. I also cannot think of anything negative about him. Just a great, all-around villain, even if our characters don't currently think of him that way. That just shows his cunning; keep your friends close and your enemies closer, they say.

I think lots of people like Palawa Joko.
He's actually the kind of bad guy you want to hang out with.
I bet he knows lots of drinking games.

lol I don't see why Palawa Joko is the antagonist of GW, I mean u actually helped him in NF. Though he's only a minor antagonist GW2.

In the lore, he's a major antagonist (see: BMP), and as you noted, he will be in GW2 as quite the villain. The fact that our characters collaborate with him to get to a greater evil doesn't make him any less an antagonist, and it certainly doesn't make him a hero/protagonist.

The stone summit chief Dagnar Stonepate

Pros:

-Evil
-Drake rider
-Nice voice
-He looks soo cool
-he's way coller than jalis

Cons: He killed mister *i aggro everyone in nolani* alias Rurik

I remember my little 12 years old sister when she was playing with my account, she was the 1st to do borlis pass and when rurik was *trapped* (i was behind of my sister)) i heard her saying: comon RURIK MOVE! MOVE PLZ MOOOOVE! DO SOMETHING! (i think she loved rurik) then when we heard the *bam* she shout AHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! RURIK CANNOT DIE! She wanted to do thk at my place too, guess to get revenge on her beloved. Wow after her shout i think i got deaf for 10 sec.

For me it would have to be Hierophant Burntsoul, that Charr would sacrifice as many of his own as possible just to kill his opponents, that's really admirable

Pros
Vicious
Near-insane
Nice hat
Won't stop at anything to kill heretics.

Cons
None

But it makes the lore for GW2 shitty.

Palawa Joko fought against Turai Ossa.

Turai Ossa is the Ghostly Hero.

The Ghostly Hero d-shotted my Heal Party several times in HA today.

Palawa Joko is a protagonist.

They should have Palawa Joko as an alternative to the ghostly hero.
Although I bet everyone would choose him for his awesomeness.

Palawa Joko, for this alone:

"You miserable hunks of desiccated flesh! I leave you alone for a few hundred years and you let everything go to hell! Now that I'm back, things are going to be different."
"No, No, No! Mummified flesh on the left! Dried bones on the right! No, your other right! You worthless bits of animated anatomy!"

Mallyx the Unyielding.

- Has a freaking huge house
- Has the most face-owning skills
- Whe you enter his domain, there's this huuuuuuge room, and all the white light shining, and there he sits on his throne... Then you come in, he goes oogabooga, rushes towards you and bashes you. With his bare knuckles. Epic.

His problem? He's an ape.

Lich, basically for the same reasons everyone else has said:
- manipulative
- he looks cool (in an evil way)

I like how amusing Joko is. I haven't gotten to Abbadon yet (technical difficulties used to prevent my play of NF)

In factions, Shiro was a disappointment. I loved his homicidal portrayal in the trailer to Factions. The in-game cinematics portrayed him largely as compulsive (in killing the fortune teller), schizophrenic (in killing the emperor), and nefariously busy in the afterlife. Basically not enough time was spent showing him as evil and currupt to the point of betrayal; he was simply confused and manipulated. The way events played out during the game he never struck me as particularly threatening.

I always found Verata's story to be very intriguing. Not to mention he has some really cool Death skills named after him.

He's quite the noob in person however.

There also is the garlic giving necromancer from the Krytan wintersday quest who seems to enjoy killing random people for no reason with minions that are so overpowered any admin would ban her.

Now she's pure evil.

The Hunger

Pros

He likes eyes as a snack.
He puts them itty bitty humans in their place, and is sly in his words (i.e. "and then we will renegotiate" meaning "and then we'll eat you")

Cons

Stupid. Takes on a party of 8 with only a single monk as backup - idiot.
Needs braces for that underbite.

Varesh

Pros: Cunning, conniving, backstabbing; but also has a lot of protagonist qualities that she uses to cover up her evilness

Cons: Turned totally incompetent when she let us escape from the Battle of Gandara

His problem:

* Kill someone important
* His face is not very good looking

You have earned +10 points. The lich also isn't evil, because I wanted to kill Rurik seconds after he opened his mouth.

Rotscale says hi

The fact that I've wanted his bow since I heard about greens on my first ever character (ranger ofc) made me want to kill this baddie so bad. I remember the first time I killed him, with the help of some experienced friends, We finally managed after a long half our of persistent damage. I've kept his bow since then, and it's still my favorite in PvE. Never had a chance to beat him again until I finally got my monk up to speed to run the farm build for it. He's still my favorite boss. Besides, for the sake of the lore, he guards the crypt that held the staff the Lich was after, which is cool.

2nd runner-up has to be the Iron Man in the heart of Sorrow's Furnace, that guy was just badass.

I'd like to say the Lich - or at least, my very first vision of the Lich.

Quite a bit before I bought GW - and *way* before I started working at the LAN center I tried it out at - I was reading the manuscripts and saw that last awesome line: Some say the Undead hordes are led by a Lich of some power" or some such. In my mind I just imagined going way deep underground, facing massive hordes of undead, and seeing the Lich and going "oh shit".

Sadly, though, that was far from how the final fight went : ( So I'm gonna have tie it between Kanaxai and Urgoz. Both are pretty awesome concepts. I just really like how both of them are quite central to the corruption that both of the factions have had to go through. Kanaxai looks hella sweet, though.

I gotta disagree, you're missing the MAIN bad ass,

- If it wasn't for him, Shiro, Varesh nor the Lich would be the way they are

- Owns an entire realm
- Best Dancer Ever

His Problems:
- He trys to take over wait no... have his realm "eat" tyria

- One of his minions is harder to kill, pretty weak for a god
- He gets replaced by a paragon <---- The Ultimate Shame

Mallyx:

Qualities:
- he disorientates people, especially first timers
- so he likes to toss your body around, because you're just a little toy for him to play with

His problems:
- most of the time he has a bad temper
- he likes playing sadistic games, probably out of frustration which brings me to the next point:
- he's still looking for a female gorilla to mate.

The Vizier:

His qualities:
- The only one doing something that is not painfully obvious from the very beginning of the game. Don't lie, you got fooled too.
- He has a cool accent.
- Casts Chimera of Intensity
- His accent is quite cool.
- Summons boats.
- He speaks with a cool accent.
- Knows how to use the Scepter of Orr.
- Oh, and his accent is really cool.

His problem:
- He thinks he is the bad guy, but he is actually just a very smart puppet like Shiro.
- He waited to long to send Rurik against us, so we have to wait too much to get Hundred Swords in Prophecies.

The Mursaat and my favorite protagonists are the Seers. Both are just so mysterious and I'd like to know more about them and where they come from.
