Your preferred fighting style

So we have a wide variety of professions, each with their own unique way to fight. So I was wondering what everyone's favorite was. Like, up close and personal (tank/sin) or ranged (ranger/paragon)? Or even just wanding things.

I prefer to be at the backlines, and be able to pull foes with a longbow. I've never been big on being the one who's up in the front taking all the damage and being the first to die like warriors seem to do when I play them. Spellcasting is okay but I still like my bow.

In PVP I don't mind using domination and fire magic but sometimes I'll go toucher. But usually I'm in the abck. lol

I like the support characters, except monk-.- because people blame everything on you

But yeah Rits, and paragons are fun to play

Stay away, see the scheme of the battle...

... and nuke where it would make more harm!

Mwa-ha-ha-ha!


In RA, I love to make 'lure' casters.
I make the build so the character looks 'tasty', then, when the enmy aproaches, they find that I have knockdowns, snares and AoE unblockabe skills, XD.

I loved my E/A Dont Get Close build fo a long time.
I think it got buffed with the last updates since last year.

For PvP I love playing backline ranger and midline/backline elementalist

In PvE.. well nuking so...

The main I going with for GWEN and the Hall of Monuments is a Derv. Otherwise I've got a fair mix, except 'Sins. I just cannot play them.

I like interrupting with my sin's bow, mesmer's spells, and warrior KD. Best thing ever.

I'm a monk, so if I'ma fightin, I'ma smitin.

I simply dont play all my other character classes all that much anymore. I dont enjoy them as much as I do my monk, and my monk has all the focus in the realm of titles, things placed in HoM, armor sets. She uses all the space in storage and my other characters haul her stuff around. Suppose that contributes to it as much as anything else.

I personally prefer to be run everywhere in the game. When I'm in the mood for it I usually play warrior.

I like curse necromancers with their mass hexes/conditions. Sheer power and being nasty towards the enemy. (PvE only)

But I also like Axe Warriors, Cyclone Axe style + Deep Wound. Maybe it is less about fighting style but about the warrior spirit and their shiny toys.


While I appreciate the power of other classes, I somehow do not appreciate them as much.

Depends.

Either let them have it (the [skill]Meteor Shower[/skill] that is) after analyzing the situation, or deliver [skill]inferno[/skill] and the like at their frond door.

In PvE I sometimes toss 'em to the ground with some [skill]unsteady ground[/skill], blind 'em, and stone them to death

I just wand things. Saves time with skills and is an excellent energy management strategy.

Customized I trust

I like midline or hit and run stuff - hence why I gravitate towards Mesmers and Assassins. I quite like playing a Monk when I'm not in the mood to annoy other people. But that doesn't happen very often.

i stay in the back and let henchman do the work

I find myself best with Rangers (mid-man), specifically variants of the BA build in PvP. Its just so resilient and can dish out so much pain at the same time, I really have trouble finding a build thats quite as balanced as it. Same goes for PvE, Splint Barraging is hella fun.

Whats most satisfying for me though, is large damage spiking. So naturally I love playing Sin spikes, and I always wanted to try the DS/FGJ/Great Dwarf Weapon Warrior Build in PvE, just never have.

I much prefer melee. Mainly I like to play my assassin. The capability of constantly putting out high damage is just so amazing to me. But I play my DSlash warrior more often for KoBD titles.

Ranged characters used ot be fun to me, but I don't get enough action out of them.

I used to like playing ele and rit, but now I never touch my caster characters. I just don't like standing back and being one of the squishy guys in the team. I much prefer the excitement and rush of being up front.

Let's face it, if you need the extra 20% you FAIL at GW.

At least two monks
At least two warriors

Everything else can be random.

I walk up to people yell in all chat before they notice me *(Character name) whaks you with the stick of lies and you automatically die* some of them are too busy wondering what I'm talking about while I kill them, others are laughing...and the utter noobs sit there believing they have just died while their team yells at them, "It's a joke you idiot!!!"

It depends. In PvE I play almost all melee characters, although I did make an elementalist a few days ago. In PvP I like playing Ranger the best, but haven't played much past that.
