Generally stays the same for both PvP and PvE (and I have played all of these in both situations, all skills unlocked of course).

I can't say much for ele or warrior as I haven't had the patience to take one to end game content yet. Mabye I'll wipe the mesmer and try an ele. Or maybe I'll just have to buy another copy of Prophecies and two copies of Factions.

Edit - Honey, I need my credit card back. It's my turn to spend some of my money!

If I had my way, if it were practical, I'd have a mesmer and three empty slots on this account.

I like playing support characters too, especially rangers and monks. Being a monk is fun when you learn to weed out the insults and face the fact that you can't keep every FDS-wielding suicide candidate alive. Rangers are pretty versatile and have during the past few months gotten the respect they deserve.

I like my mesmer too, but she's only at Northern Shiverpeaks now, so it's pretty hard to find a group, since all the missions and quests can be simply done with brute force. When playing with henchies I find being a mesmer is a bit boring.

Wow, considering the amount of whining to no-one liking mesmers... there's a lot of people here who's favourite character is a mesmer.

For fun:
Mesmer
Ranger (Beast master)

For work: uhh.. what did you guys mean by 'work'?

For Farming:
Mesmer
Warrior
Monk

For stress relieve:
Warrior to hit things with

For pvp: I don't pvp.. much.. but, I'll play any caster as long as it means I get to screw someone over.. ok, that would be mesmer or necro.

come to think of it I really like my SS necro too. He's a damage dealing machine. I did the math on it earlier for another thread and I never realized how much damage SS can do over the course of it's duration.

Who's whining? There's a big difference between commentary and complaint. It's true that it's hard to get into a party as a mesmer, and I doubt it's the fault of the people who post on these forums, as most here aren't ignorant of the abilities of mesmers, especially those of us who love playing Mesmers!

Because I usually don't have much time to play, I only have 2 characters that I actually have to level 20: an ele and a monk. I love playing defense/support, so monk has to be my favorite so far, with warder ele coming close behind. I think I'm gonna love the ritualist, playing restoration magic and buffing my fellow players with weapon spells. It's like a supporter's dream come true!

I find this list hard, seeing that Necro takes up a high spot (SS Necro) and a very low spot (MM Necro). But tank is my favorite to play and Monk less favorite. Ele is nice, haven't played Mesmer and ranger (will get those when factions hit).

With time I like more and more professions. However, my starting necro remains my favorite character by a very large degree. However, anything with a lot of utility is fun. Lately I have gotten addicted to the rush of playing infuser in HoH. The common appearance of spike teams and the reflex position makes it a lot more fun then I expected.

When not at Aziure's Wizard Tower you can find my in Belgium

My main char is also still my favorite: E/Mo

Esp when you go UW with a necro and do the stuff a monk does ;p its awesome (don't ever say Eles can't farm)

And solo some foes gives ya really some satis"faction", esp when you have started this game with that char and remember the days you where pawned by charr and grawls

I enjoy playing my Mesmer most.

I would then have to say my Necro (no MM please, makes me tired just clicking on skills to keep those dammned minions alive)

Then Ranger.

Then warrior, use him now mostly for Ettins

Then Monk, farming mostly and use her only with friends and the guild for healing. No pugs here.

I really like playing an Interrupt Ranger in both PvE and PvP. Pissing off casters can be fun!

For farming it is W/X or 55 Monk, depending on what needs farmed.

Of course I can dual-wield. Granted, I can only dual-wield Daggers like any other assassin but it's still dual-wield. Two swords would indeed be overpowered.

I either prefer solo'ing (100% on my own, no henchies) or Healing. For Healing, it's always Monk, for solo'ing, it's whatever is effective

Playing Mesmer is the most challenging experience in both PvE and PvP. If you don't know what you are doing, you will be useless and/or die quickly. All other professions at least can cause something even the player has no idea what to do.

So I prefer Mesmer.
