Heh, this thread is kinda funny. I don't see how anyone can truly claim to be or claim to have found "thee best" player at something. Far too many people play, and you don't know 99% of em.

But then there is GvG and PvP--which we can all watch the best teams play one another. However, you guys are forgetting a key element to why we get to watch these teams. It's because they work well as one. Sure everyone in the team must be good, but it is truly the organization and the ability to play together that is making them look good.

So, we can use the observer mode, but the question of which player is good is hardly determinable. That monk may look spiffy because he is keeping everyone alive, left and right, and handling a lot of pressure. But maybe they're not fighting against pressue. Maybe the monk is doing a horrible job (as in he should be keeping the team's health up more frequently). That sounds weird, but any good monk should understand the idea there. Perhaps the monk is healing well because he is in a pressure build, and doesn't have many people on him. Heh, I know some of you guys probably watch a lot of battles, but it is silly to say you understood everything that was going on in that battle. You can only view 1 player at a time. There are whole other teams contributing to the ease and/or difficulty of the battle. We all understand some concept of what the teams as a whole are doing. Let's be real though, you don't know when most of the players are using which skills/spells and when.

Final note: Many masters of the game stick to PvE.
When dealing with henchmen and henchmen alone, essentially all other team illusions are eliminated. Do not think I am saying PvE'rs belong somewhere in a "The Best" list or thread :P. We certainly can't compare the differences between computer enemies/allies AI vs. human intelligence either. Just throwing some points out there.

Mastering mob AI and patterns is entirely different from mastering any given class.

The title rather misleading though since most of those posted are generally refering to PvPers, it should rather be: The Best Player at each Profession in PvP?

Altough giving lists of your favo's is fun and interesting, it would be more interesting to give an argument with each of your picks explaining what you think is so great on this particular player?

Else this can become rapidly a popularity contest.

Seems that all the best players have been picked from top GvG guilds, but i saw Last Pride and WM in HA a couple of nights ago and they were pretty awful, they play GvG all day so naturally they will know their builds, but out of their safety zone they seem rather feeble.

I dont really think your gonna find who the best of each profession is with this, but i saw Achilles Gun interrupt another warriors shock with his own shock in the last 3 seconds of a HoH match which kept his ghostly capping and took the match, that was pretty awesome but i think the best people at each profession are the ones that invent the new builds, rather than use other peoples.

i hate how people say Eun Jung because he is probably the only mesmer they have ever heard of since his guild won the championship. News flash, meaning you won doesnt mean you are the best it could mean you are lucky, and as one person mentioned before there is probably no one best player because there are so many. You can be good at what you do with a mesmer but you are never the best all around.

The sheer style of the cola shield + fellblade on Last of Master... added to the incredible warrior playing and the no res, no cancel stance for frenzy makes LoM my favorite char to watch on observer

So, how many great PvP players named in this thread aren't from top 15 guilds? People post the people they've seen in Observe Mode, but I've seen players far more impressive, but because noone gets to see them in Observe Mode, doesn't mean they don't excist.
And PvE players can be great too. Interupting a 3/4 or 1/2 seconds cast is just as impressive in PvE as it is in PvP. Even though the pressure is nearly gone in PvE (since losing doesn't matter much, and because you've got alot of time to think most of the time), it's still the same game.

Best Mesmer? Duh, just look at my name. "Omnipotent"?

As far as intelligent people who actually know a thing or two, I usually go with Avarre to back me up on topics. Even though we have differences of opinion on certain skills.

In a game this big, this seems like an obscenely silly thread. It seems like this is a "i've seen this person" thread, like associating yourself with them will make you more special. Thats just my two cents though.

Some people are just naturally better at playing a class than other people. hence why most people know who Last of Master and Bloodlight Eyes are. They stand out in observer mode because they are just that good.

No, people who are in the observer mode have nothing to do with individual talent. Its all about how well your guild performs as a team. There could be much better people in much lower ranked guilds who just arent seen because of that fact.

This thread is kinda cool but instead of 'best', I like to think of 'favourite'... I know we want our favourite players to be the best, but it depends how you measure it

Warrior: Racthoh, 10million exp+ is waaaay too much! I've seen a bunch of his guides and he's one of the great PvE masters out ther right now... maybe even the PvE master
Ranger: Gaile Gray is the most famous ranger I know, and she's cute
Elementalist: Um... Queen Christie for looking cool in the screenshot forum!
Mesmer: Avarre for being kick-ass and making mesmers heard! The great unwashed will never learn that mesmers are awesome at PvE too - you can't educate pork
Necromancer: I like Kcp, for his great guides and promoting necromancers in general
Monk: Him.

Have fun out there!
