I don't like the warrior class.

I'm going to stay away from the rit argument, I'm getting into groups and I'm just as useful as anyone else in my team, so y'all can think what you like.

Ranger class is the most favourite so far... or should I say, least unfavoured? I bet ranger fans are dancing right now^^

Shadowfox1125 · Apr 27, 2007, 04:42 AM // 04:42

+1 for Dervish..

I like how Paragons have the most votes.. I bet most of those people didn't get very far with their Paras. :P

Rit for me. I dislike the whole idea of damage and healing spirits. They also need to add removal for weapon spells

People who don't like playing casters have 5 professions to choose from, people who don't like playing ranged characters have 7 professions to choose from and people who don't like playing melee characters only have 3 professions to choose from. I'm surprised monk isn't higher up on the list. Sure, everyone loves having monks on their team, but it seems like there aren't that many people who like playing monks, they appear to be rarer than any core profession except mesmers.

The reason sins are so Glass shotgun as 1 put it because some of these people focus on such high damage output they dont put anything for defense other then feigned neutrality.
In deadly arts sin have debuff skills,shutdown skills, snares, SHameful fear I cant really catagorize...
Damage for running, anti-kit I guess. Ever lasting degen if condition meets (enduring toxin)

Anyways this shouldn't be a sin advetisement thread so I'll just stick to saying those who bash sins just aren't good at it.

Anyways Monk is really f'ed up, double monks seem good in hench groups but in Pugs Double Rits seem better Alternating to keep up the protection spirits while healing

Great defense? On Assassins? Sure, [wiki]Critical Defenses[/wiki] and [wiki]Flashing Blades[/wiki] are great against physical attacks, but they only have three skills which protect against nuking, [wiki]Dark Escape[/wiki] and [wiki]Feigned Neutrality[/wiki], which only work if they don't attack, and [wiki]Shadow Form[/wiki], which nearly kills them when it ends. I'll probably switch my assassin's secondary to mesmer for the elemental mantras and [wiki]Elemental Resistance[/wiki] for Eye of the North if they don't gain any elemental defense skills.

Yea i love my paragon he is awesome, level 20 and in gate of desolation, i use him for alot of things so don't think he isnt used for anything if he wanst, how would i get that far. He is used for motivation and for supporting the team, also some other useful things.

erkun · Apr 27, 2007, 11:47 PM // 23:47

PVE-wise, I don't like the assassin. Especially those sins who always rush in before the real tanks do. Such a waste of energy just trying to heal them.

I tried all classes in PVP, and they're all OK.

Jennie · Apr 28, 2007, 12:13 AM // 00:13

Assassins just dont do it for me. Its my least fav. I've tried to play but I just cant get into it.

I'm also not overly fond of Dervish either.

Mm, while that may be true, especially seeing as assassins have even less armour when you think about how their normal armour works with regards to protecting against physical and elemental damage, you have to remember that assassins don't stand there and get blown up. Against physical users? Good defences. Against elemental users? We've already established that assassins are squishy squashers. They do it faster than anything else, generally.

Evilsod · Apr 28, 2007, 01:13 PM // 13:13

Paragons are boring as hell. If you play Spear para, you C-Space your enemies to death at range, which is more boring than Warriors who get the bonus of at least having stupidly powerful builds to make things fun. Playing a support para... you spent the entire time casting Anthem of Flame to maintain your echo's.

And yes, i have a Paragon who has completed all 3 campaigns.

I actually quite like Dervish's. Mainly because the Scythe is so overpowered it's ridiculous. Avatar of Lysaa + Dunkoro smiting me up is nothing short of brilliant

If you don't believe me OgGjkyqDLPM3m7AWALuLvx3gCA. Get Dunkoro to use Strength of Honour and Judges Insight. Go to Abaddons Mouth and just go nuts ^^ Only profession i've cleared the entire starting section with almost before the Chimera wore off in 1 maddened rampage. So much fun

Spazzer · Apr 28, 2007, 03:25 PM // 15:25

My favorite replies in this thread are the people who say that warrior is easy to learn but they can't do any damage with them. Pure gold.

My vote went to the Assassin simply for the teleport skills. Arenanet took a nice and structured front, middle, and backline playstyle and raped it all to hell when they gave melee characters the ability to bypass defenses and hit the backline directly.

ensoriki · Apr 28, 2007, 04:55 PM // 16:55

Spazzar dislikes sin because of 1 of their positive aspects 0_o....

Votes still on Necro for being nothing but a corpse raping Bootleg mesmer.

SuperDave · Apr 29, 2007, 04:13 AM // 04:13

It's a bit of a tossup between the Paragon and Dervish. I dislike the Dervish the most. Reason: So many dervishes with the words "death" "grim" "reaper" etc in the name. I had a dervish, she had 15k armor, I dyed it black... I then realized how lame/corny that was. I then also realized how many dervishes dyed their armor black. She got deleted (this was after I finished NF with her). I didn't enyou playing the class at all.

The paragon animation where you do [skill]anthem of flame[/skill] looks cool. That's the only reason the Dervish got my vote, but yea..."cheerleader" got it right on the button

Komes I · Apr 29, 2007, 09:19 AM // 09:19

I just can't stand Dervishes... i hate being in group with one.... and most of the noobs play dervishes the wrong way so that makes me hate them even more...

Evilsod · Apr 29, 2007, 11:38 AM // 11:38

Rangers ftw it seems

Stranger The Ranger · Apr 29, 2007, 11:45 AM // 11:45

Monks... Too much responsibility... And I can't play 'em :P
Healing just isnt my thing =)

The general Assassin hate is there for 2 reasons :<
1. People can't play em
2. Or people get pwned my them

madman24749 · Apr 29, 2007, 11:59 AM // 11:59

And my vote goes to eles . . .
Seriously I know they are necessary and all but I find playing them extremely boring, their builds are always so straightforward and dont involve any conditions at all, just simple non stop damage
My second vote would go to paragon, they arent as usefull and fun as I thought they would be

MONKS FTW!

Ember010 · Apr 29, 2007, 12:59 PM // 12:59

Hmmm...Assassin for me lads. And btw, dervish being least fave? Corny? err no.
Dervish is my main character, love the profession, no black armour at all actually. I'm usually a caster, and i played ele for months before nightfall came out. Dervish is the only playable melee class (bar ranger) for me.

Assassin, don't like them. Don't have any particular reason either, but i think its the zap in zap out side of them. Hit a few times then run away sortof tactic that most assassins tend to use. Its put me off them bigtime.

Dj Tano · Apr 29, 2007, 01:06 PM // 13:06

I dont understand the whole Para hate, its a great class to play, its not imba, and its fun.

I voted dervish, the whole enchantments, conditions and heals make it way too imba!

Saraphim · Apr 29, 2007, 01:24 PM // 13:24

Least favourite for me to play: Ritualist, but then to be fair I never gave it much of a chance. All of the classes are useful to some degree though.
