In every MMORPG there is a class/proffesion/job you seem to play better than others, some you can't do for some unknown reason. I just thought it would be intersting to see what the majority of people here play best. Now first off I don't want to here "I PWN HARD WITH ALL BUILDS, I'M UBER l337" Save the MMORPG lingo. Two, be honest

For me I personaly play my Rangers well. Even my current build dispite popular belief on the build section here works well for me. I also enjoy Necromancers. I most be the vampire aura and look they have and the ability to play MM is just exciting to me. My mom has even yelled at me for the "Dark, evil, cold hearted, and morbid" things I say in-game and out-game LOL I like playing Monks aswell. My R/Mo was even comminted that I should try considering we were doing last mision and I rezzed the enitre party like over 50times lol. BTW we finally died when a group of imp tricked me. (cheaters

)

I can't seem to play Warriors at all. It' bugs me badly

Considering I love melee comabt and had a Warrior with a katana but I jut couldn't pull it off. I tried builds posted here and my own just no luck. Elementalist I don't care for either. But I want to try a E/Ne slow/degen build.

What about you?

My internet connection is always at least 1 second behind, so I'll work best as healer. I can't target monsters, since they are never where I see them.
Healer works best for me, because that way I live long enough to make a difference.
Ritualist is cool too, since all I have to do is stay out of the circle and spam spirits

I enjoy all my chars, this is a tough call

I play best as
Mo/Rt (Healer) & Ne/Mo (MM)
I would say it is a 2 way tie

I can't seemed to play Assassin at all. Well I can just don't like it later on. Sad part is I waited and bought Factions just to make one! Lol

I may have to try Ritualist and Mesmer. Have a bad feeling about the mesmers, but the Ritualist I think I can pull. Only time will tell.

meh...I started as a Warrior, but that didn't turn out so good. It turns out playing a war, however easy it is in PvE, is hard in Pvp.

Im still working on targeting and other basic stuff.

So I'd have to say a monk. Specifically a boonprot..Kinda sucks because Im not even good at it. :/

I dont enjoy pvp so i cant comment on that..
For me, it really comes down to what im doing, and whats needed

Farming: my war
Helping guildmates out: usually monk and necro
UW runs: My ranger
and my last two classes are there for my enjoyment:rit and mes

but going back to the OPs post..

I prolly play my Necro and mesmer the best.. at least they are the most fun ones to play, and make the most sense to me

PvP definatly a warrior more specifically wielding a big nast axe and generally things which are designed to deal direct damage.
PvE well I only have a ritualist and warrior and probably play the ritualist best since I dislike and am not very good at tanking.

I truly believe it's the character that I've been playing recently. When I had to dust off my warrior and my necro for the Dragon Festival, it was basically like relearning how to play them.

At the top of the list I would have to say Monk, I like to fool around with builds here and try and use differnt elites (even if they seem to .... ). Necro is also one of my favorites but it would have to be second to monk, then maybe a ranger. I like playing caster characters but GW seemed to kill the caster to me. I tried playing an elementalist but you either go max damage in one area or go a very horrible mix build with two areas and don't have enough energy and I just couldn't understand or play very well at this.

I know I said my best classes are casters, but they're more versatile than a all out ele, I just can't make a "mage/sorcerer" good enough for people.

I started GW as a warrior, and its a really good character (eventually changed from W/E to W/Mo). But i have to say that my favorite character is my ranger. I can do everything with ranger, like b/p, UW trapping, all that good stuff. I will say one other thing though: I can't do anything worthwhile with mesmers or necromancers.

A monk is the one I play best...heal/prot

Every few days I try to switch things up and play different classes - I really love my mesmer and necro too...

I prefer to play a tanking squishy with PRE armour, or a Warrior casting heals. Oh sorry, thats most other players.

Damage dealing Warrior, or Healing monk. Currently i'm wiping up the floor with a ranger. So I guess add Ranger to those. All three are about equal, and I'm 99% of the time the last person standing. (why does the tanking squishy, who dies first and racks up 60 DP in about 45 seconds, feel the need to dictate to me to rez them first, when they don't have any form of a rez, "because they know what they are doing, and I'm a n00b"?)

My worst is Ele, and mezzer. Mezzers rock hard, for all those "not in the know", I just don't so well with them.

I'm usually best in a support role, so monk and ritualist are my two best professions. I think I'd make a good mesmer too, but I never made one.

After that, I like playing my ele.

My Necro and Warrior pull up the rear. I pretty much just use the warrior for farming, and I didn't use my necro for months, but I'm just getting back to using her since she was the only one who hadn't even visited Cantha yet.

For me there's only one profession above all others: Monk. For some unknown reason I really enjoy and excel at playing a healer or protector when in a team.

I have tried every profession multiple times:

Warrior - ok... but I don't really like to play them
Ranger - not me... no, I get too sentimental with my pet dying

Elementalist - nope... I tend to die before I can cast a spell
Assassin - same problem as with warriors
Ritualist - no... I could maybe play rit, but I still like monks the best
Mesmer - no, no and no... mesmer is so much not me. I cannot play a mesmer at all.
Monk - here's the winner! Out of my 18 chars, only 6 are primary monks

And the rest are just secondary monks who can actually function as a full-time healer or at least a healer-aid.

i've played all classes, but the ones that im WORST at are monk and mesmer. im guessing that the reason im so terrible is because you have to have fast reflexes to interupt and heal.

I can't say I "pwn" with it, but I certainly enjoy playing a warrior. There's this orgasmic feeling of raging at a softies face with frenzy and shreading them apart. This type of hard pressure is difficult to mimic with other classes aside from assassin that I don't like to play..

Other than that, Crip Shot rangers was fun back in the day and I had tons of fun with it. Crip and run, crip and run. People don't see how manipulating opposition mobility is a important factor in gvg.

Sooo fun.

I play best:

monk
ranger
warrior

I don't play my mesmer very well. I didn't spend enough time on her, and I probably choose the wrong spells.

Never tried necro. I wouldn't say I'm a bad ele (not sure how that is possible), but I don't enjoy it. My ele is still in Ascalon.

I do best on my E/Mo honestly.
My W/Mo would be 2nd (but it's an easy build to do for PvE).
I'm thinking about a R/E in Prophecies... I can see some good synergies.

by far my best is an Ele. He was my first char, and i've logged 4 times as many hours on him as any other character. I can play a warrior if needed, but unless i have to, i don't. I have a very rusty monk scheduled for deletion. I tried the other professions and really couldn't get into them. Ele seems to be my calling.

Ranger - What I enjoy the most... been playing it from the beginning.
Warrior - For that "warsy" medieval feel.
Monk - For a change of pace.

Finally getting around to necro... currently working on learning to MM.
