Hi.
I`d like to know your opinions about character classes.
Which of them give you most fun?
Which is most interesting?

Im not asking which class is strongest, best for farming or something like that. Everyone need to own many characters for different purposes, but also everyone have that one character which they play most, couse its fun, they dont ever get bored and which you can just stand in one place and /jump and its still fun ;p

So, which class you enjoy most?
thx ;]

@Edit.
I would appreciate if you write some more than "%profession%".
Please write what you love in ur char and why, otherwise mod will close his thread ;p

My favorite are the Necros. There's something very satisfying about raising an army of undead minions or sacrificing a bit of health to keep your team alive while maintaining enough energy to cast some minor damage-dealing spells.

If you learn to work with their skills they're excellent mid-line characters, and that's right where I like to be. Plus it's something different from the usual tank/mage/ranger/monk group of heroes.

So far my ranger has been my favorite and the most fun to play. I created her just to see what a ranger would be like, and I figured I'd end up deleting her, but she's my hands down favorite, especially when I play her as an interrupt ranger.

It so much fun when you have a good interrupt build and you get on this roll and you're interrupting the crap out of the enemy's monk or big AOE caster and you're just shutting everyone down and all the other enemies that count on their monk are dropping like flies. It's like, let it fly... interrupt. Let it fly... interrupt. Broad head arrow... interrupt. And it's more than button mashing, you have to assess what's ahead, pay attention, pick your target, watch its spell bar, have a good set of bows ready to switch at the blink of an eye and just time your interrupts.

I love my eles, and I adore my necro, but my ranger, wow. I'd love to learn AB on her, but don't know where to start.

IDK, maybe they want to make another character and thinking about the options so they're asking what other people find fun? **shrugs**

I love love love love LOVE my war, he's just GREAT all around, first char I ever made and i can't stop playin him, he's got 2 whole sections in my inv for just his armors, gotta love em all, and the sword/axe/hammer versatility is unmatched by any other profession. I can go heavy damage, KD maniac, condition spammer, basically anything I want.

Also for Faylnn, i love my ranger also and they are really great for ABing. Basiaclly you can switch from any of the bow mastery elites, and some people go incendiary, but just bring a crippling skill and something like natural stride and your set with w/e skill set you choose, although in AB id tend to shy away from BH arrow just bc of its recharge time, going with punishing or magebane, and more along those lines. Then i always bring apply poison bc i love to kite and poison foes while we are running around without our teams, makes em soooooo angry anyway rangers are great for ab so thats just the basics and you can mod your build however you like, lately I've been using barbed+poison sig+ crip shot for an unblockable condition spam.

So have fun and remember wars are the best WOOOt

1. Dervish

Melee/Caster hybrid (my fav used to be my ele), untouchable scythe damage, and avatars

2. Ele

used to be my main, normally I'm a caster in MMO's because I like backlining

3. Paragon

The concept of a midliner that provides largely unstrippable party-wide buffs that can also do decent damage is uber by nature.

4. Assassins
5. Rits
6. Rangers
7. Necro
8. Monk -watching little red bars go down and up is not gameplay
9. Mesmer
10. Warrior -hack slash, hack slash, ADRENALINE HACK does not make for an interesting time

Wars ....the most flexible _build wise_melee class ..
swords..axes..hammers..
adrenaline attacks ...energy spamming ...tanking ...

and the real reason i adore them is ...WE scythe ..HUGE damage without casting 5 enchants before every battle ..
used to love crit sin but ...critical eye-critical agility-way of the master-aura of holy might-critical defenses or way of perfection ..before EVERY battle wore me thin ..same goes for dervish ....

Paragons are PVE Gods I enjoyed getting survivor with them without even trying ..

Mesmer by far, you don't see the "debuffer" style caster in many games. Plus there is plenty to do if your bored with that, wanna do damage you can, wanna heal you can. Fast casting is wonderful(Its saved my ass plenty of times and its just damn convienent.) Plus its funny to make people think they are uber(anybody who plays a class with passive effects knows what I'm talking about)

monk by far.

why? Because they were the first healing profession to be implemented into this game, and still are the main healers today. Sure others can do it well, like Necromancers, Ritualists, but when many hear of the word "heal", they'll think of a monk.

Protection capabilities are awesome too, wide variety of choices, lots to do, can turn the tides of any battle.

They are almost always in party groups!

And if that is not enough, the smiting capabilities!!! Now, they are just pure awesome. You can make yourself a build in a couple of minutes and see the result of ownage. RoJ, SoJ, these skills are great. This damage is armor ignoring, not many other professions have more than a couple of armor ignoring damage skills! Double damage vs. undead too ftw. Smiters Boon tied with some ally targeting smiting skills = lots of healing, like 100 health per use, thats really good for something dealing lots of damage!

Classic farmers, one of the best professions for it. (55 monk, 600/smite etc.)

very good in pvp for obvious reasons.

I just know I made the right choice all those years ago.

Sins- independent class, aggressive temperament, challenging style of play

Necros- Superb anti-melee hexes, [lingering curse], evil persona about them

Dervish and Mesmer.

Dervish is just a very versatile, effective, and fun melee profession. The different enchantments can let you snare and spread conditions, or simply ramp up your damage (and they do tons by default with a scythe), or allow you to use some very potent self-heals, or a mix of those. And the avatar skills are awesome.

Mesmer is simply fun to play. Yeah, you do need to know how various enemies act in order to run it well in PvE, but seriously, I just have such a blast playing on mine. While hacking things to bits is always fun, there's just something about messing around with your enemies, interrupting their spells and skills, and covering them with hexes that cause them to kill themselves that's always entertaining.

Most definitely Monk. I like keeping people alive more than I like killing them, I guess. Guild Wars' also makes healing more tactical then other games, so there's a little more fun there than in most games.

After that? Paragon, Ranger, and Necromancer. Paragons because they add so much to a party, Ranger because you can be really, really annoying in Alliance Battles (and Aspenwood), and Necromancers are just cool.

Ritualist and Paragon. Ritualist has the capability to do anything really, and Paragons have all kinds of party support. and i like the way both classes look, though i wish theyd make a non-white paragon armor.

my fav class?

Necro ~ I absolutley love minions, and the other abilities they've got mean I'm rarley in a situation that I can't work well in. That and their style taps into my dark/gothic side

Assassin ~ After playing all the other physical classess I made a sin and never looked back, their ability to deal damage pve or pvp is simply unmatched. That and I've always been partial to ninjas >.>

Ritualist ~ My first class in the game, love em to death but latley they just haven't had the abilities to keep me coming back like the other 2. They are still hands down the coolest looking class in the game though.

warrior (except that WE shit, although i do play it because it's so stupidly good) because everything else is a bitch role to help the warriors kill shit and win the game. also they're fun to play because hitting people in melee range with an axe or hammer is just too satisfying and knockdowns are sweet and they're not a lame shitter class like assassins or dervishes.
ranger is pretty cool too because the split templates (the ones with nat stride and mending touch) are really fun. BA turrets were fun but stupidly overpowered i'm glad they're gone.

You will keep hearing favorites from every profession...your best bet would be to find what makes the game fun for you...because Its a fact that after you gain all the gold, weapons, armor, titles and ranks in PvP-PvE the only thing that will keep you playing is the class that you find entertaining...
