The question is actually a bit longer and there's a reason for it besides just to start a discussion.

If you've played multiple character classes fully through the end of the game (doesn't matter which, NF, Prophs, EoTN, Factions) which character class appeared to be the most effective for PvE and which was your favorite? Which character class was your least favorite and seemed to be the least effective for you? Which character class seemed to be the most versatile.

I'm close to completing Prophecies with an Ele nuker and kinda playing around with what I what to take through next and would love to hear experiences with different classes. I also have NF and Factions installed. I'm about 3/4 of the way through NF with another Ele nuker. I seem to be stuck on fire nuking eles so would like to try something different.

Most effective and fun for me was the Warrior, as it has been it nearly every RPG. My favorite is always the "up there in yo face" class, and the Warrior fits the bill perfectly. Plus, heavier armor is always awesome.

Least effective and fun for me was the Elementalist. Never been a fan of casting spells, only in a few select games.

I use to love my necro, but I ended up trading him in for a Para

Para>PvE

Shinjinbukai · May 12, 2008, 04:13 PM // 16:13

my favorite would have to be Monk, they are the most versitile class in the game imo. My second favorite is dervish, such a fun class!!!! I love the feel of wielding a scythe and hacking my opponents to bits.
in order for me
1) Monk
2) Dervish
3) Necromancer
4) Paragon
5) Ranger
6) Elementalist
7) Warrior
8) Ritualist
9) Assasin
10) Mesmer

Agreed, Necros are probably the best all around PvE class.

Oy, next to Imbagons that is.

N1ghtstalker · May 12, 2008, 04:13 PM // 16:13

my ele
she's my youngest char but has the most exp and most money spent on it

GenericWasDanny · May 12, 2008, 04:13 PM // 16:13

my favourite for me was taking my ritualist through factions (my rit is also the character i have spent the most time and money on) but its a bit of a merge class, and not very easy to get into a party unless you heal, which i dont specialise in >.<

my most useful class for me was my SS necro, or my ele nuker..

i love the paragon too

wow, in the time it took me to post that, 5 people replied O.o

Fire The Nutter · May 12, 2008, 04:16 PM // 16:16

I made an Ele first of all but stopped around post searing, not much further, then made my Ranger.

Struggled to start with but once I found my feet I went on to complete all campaigns and id now say hes my primary.

That said ive now gone back and made
Warrior
Monk
Ritualist
Necro
Paragon
Loving the Warrior now, Ele im loving too and the paragon, all for different reasons. Each class has its own abilities its just a case of getting used to how to play that class as Ele had me stumped for a long time but im now v.happy with it too

Earth · May 12, 2008, 04:17 PM // 16:17

The most fun for me was a ritualist. I loved them. I've also played a monk and a sin through factions, but meh... Not as much fun as a rit <3

Btw, you do know you can switch campaigns with your ele, right? It seems kinda pointless to have 2 ele nukers.

miskav · May 12, 2008, 04:18 PM // 16:18

Monk, most definatly =)

I like all classes.

Shame ArenaNet only wants us to make one character.

Bryant Again · May 12, 2008, 04:21 PM // 16:21

I have fun with all of my characters (have one of each minus Assassin and Mesmer).

My warrior is my "main". I've beat all the campaigns with him plus started vanquishing and farming a bit.

Other than him, the other characters get played when the mood strikes. Most recently I've been playing my monk to see how a back liner character works (and to test a few things). He's lvl 7 and about to beat prophecies using just henchmen.

I think he meant Anet implemented titles and character based grinding, and it kinda "encouraged" concentrating on 1 character. (Unless one don't bother about the titles or extra benefits from the grinds)

On topic, I love my warrior. Next would probably be my Ele and ranger.

natural_Causes · May 12, 2008, 04:26 PM // 16:26

Definatly <3 my Necro, then my monk

Exactly, but I was unaware that you "had" to grind.
