Hey. I would like to know with wich profession is possible to beat the game realy fast. Like all three campaings and eotn. Actualy this could be the question about the easyest profession, but I made it fastest.. And yeah, it would be nice, that hardmode is also not so difficult. Ok, suggestions?
Thank you.

Mesmer... mostly cause you will rarely get accepted in PUGs and easiest and fastest way to do it is with H/H, not counting players you already know of course :-)

Explain this really fast

All primaries to complete ..missing out side quests

simple answer really.

WHY the really fast as curious as...Do you not wish to play the game as it should be played?

The game is ment to be enjoyable if you wish to skip as much of it as possible
why do you play it?

Assassin. MS/DB everything and you will be done in no time. Consider warrior and elementalist too.

The profession does not matter to much. Just don't start in Prophecies. Start in Factions play till Kaineng, get your three Necros. 3 Necros > PvE. That's it.

Regardless of OP's reasons for wanting to finish real fast, I would say a Para would pretty much blaze through the 3 campaigns and EotN with no problem with a high enough kurzick title.

But I still stand by my opinion that getting a friend to help or just doing H/H is the faster that getting into a PUG. W/R with Power Shot ftw!

P.S. Oh, people started seriously answering this thread... Brb, just need some popcorn.

I would say elementalist if you want to play the game straight through like it was intended. There is usually room for two or perhaps even 3 nukers in a party because they are a great main damage source.

On the other hand, I recommend dervish, assassin, or even w/mo if you only have prophecies, if you want to be able to run yourself through the game.

And for farming the monk is the best.

I just want to make myself title character. I have finished game with two of my chars, so I know the story. And what I ment is only primary quests and missions.

Highlander, seeing as he's playing a bit shorter then you he probably is just bored (like most) of doing the same thing over and over and just wants to get trough it to the enjoyable parts.

As for easy vs fast, thats a different thing. Easy is making an imbagon and using sabway h/h. Just keep SY up and watch things drop.
Fast is all about composition. Due to a lot of walking in this game, bringing speed buffs like charge/fall back will speed up the game a lot. This benefits w/p, p/w or /p or /w characters. Rest just depends on your damage source preference; high single target damage (bosses, harder foes) or aoe damage (groups, large groups, bad pulls)

Since your planning to do titles,paragon if you plan to have no people helping,ele or necro if you will have people along for the harder parts.

Fastest whilst still be easy would be warrior IMO - consider a Necro MM if you want to pawn PVE and have an easy time of it (almost all areas), but they won't be as fast due to the trouble in controlling aggro - Paragon is a cakewalk too if you have the right build.

All professions are valid - but for what you want I'd do warrior.

i agree that h/h is the fastest with any profession really, but there are some mission that you would probably rather have a team (eternal grove, but i've done it h/h just easier with team imo) so i'd say elementalist or monk because you can easily get a group

fastest profession is paragon. chain charge and fall back with 3 of your highest damage heroes. oh and dont take a MM because they slow you down (unless you are having problems surviving which you shouldnt in NM)

paragon. having an imbagon means you get to take at least 6 full-offensive team members. that's fast.

If this game is like WoW where majority of play is done 1v1 style, then it'd be easy to say which profession is the fastest. However, GW is very much a team game. Since how fast you complete an area depends on your team's build compatibility, the builds of the enemies you'll be facing (though in majority of the areas, enemies have brain dead builds that you can just plow through with whatever...), the armor level of the enemies you'll be facing, etc. that you can't really say which profession is the fastest.

Order of PvE Domination goes:

Assassin > Necromancer (no. 1 & no. 2 are debateable ) > Mesmer > Warrior -> everything else

Seriously, MS>DB spam is the king of physicals and Necro spamming curses + Discord or SS is the king of casters.

SS is better than all three (It's in a more accessable skill line for a start), why would you want something casting some stupid power buffed skill on you when you can knock it down and maybe the entire mob too and maintain the knockdown? Oh, and they aren't maintainable except for Empathy.

Not sure it been said already,

But fastest to lvl 20 == all.

Get to lvl 10, then go boxing in EotN...

Well that's funny because each and every weapon swap I've executed has been successful as long as I'm not pressing Escape or clicking the ground at the wrong time. And trust me, considering I get happy with Cripshot weaponswapping happens a lot.

this thread is absolutely pointless.
the time it takes to complete the campaigns depends almost entirely on the player, not the profession. I don't really see why any profession would be inherently faster, especially since you'll have 8-person teams.
besides, if you're only interested in beating the campaigns...why are you playing? obviously you're not the kind of person that's beaten everything like 12 times...so sit back and enjoy the game, and choose a class that you like.
besides, things'll seem to go faster if you do them with a class you find interesting to play.
