Remove from the game plx.

I (and others) seem to have a lot of fun playing the paragon. But unfortunately the class suffers haters from both pvp and pve for opposite reasons.

Assassin....now ignore the name of my ranger >_>

The class is fun and all and is basically like an uber swordsmanship war with lotsa condition and hex spammablity. But theyre pretty much the Rogue of GW when it comes to places like RA and hero battles and some HA. Just basically a character to be rolled to be cheap against any caster without uber self heals or armor buffs. My war and ranger can shrug off sins without really thinking about it but since i dont like warriors overly much and i only play ranger (although its my favorite) every now and again, im basically stuck playing squishee....and zomg a sin.....wait maybe he'll have a good build for on...nope just another tiger sin *sigh*. i dont mind the occasional test assassin build thats completely un expected like the signet spike was for all of 30 minutes. or even running 1 sin with fevered dreams and uber condition spams and another with temple strike in AB thats at least taking builds and making them useful as well as making them take some skill. but my god if i hafta see shadow prison+tiger stance one more time imma start brinign sig of clumsiness as a staple.

least fav..

tight pick between ele and derv

ele because there isnt a lick of talent in playing one. pick the skill you feel is prettiest, FIRE. blind bots, warders, and geotanks make me so sick its like watching 1000 boa sins run naked through a hall with frenzy on. >.>

dervs... simply put, i believe they are the single worst implemented class in the game. why waste time putting on garbage spells, that in high level pvp, end up HURTING you in the end, just so you can do some mediocre damage, with little to no spiking, and just to say your auto attack with a 33% IAS is on the same level as a hammer? junk, utter junk. i'll take on a million healing hands wammo noobs before i EVER let another brick like that class on my team for anything. even the "good" players half of the time are running earth prayers and healing like there's no tomorrow.

play reapers sweep or the avatar of melandru cookie cutters, and maybe i'll look twice at you.. maybe. otherwise, wait till the warrior's done with your monk, cause he'll be after you next.

*wipes forehead* sorry, can anyone tell i hate dervs?

warrior/mes/para/rit ftw!

Paragon. I Gave up on it really quick.

l Batman l · May 24, 2007, 02:38 AM // 02:38

Ritualist closely followed by Paragon.

Neither of them take much skill to use effectively in most cases.

Superdarth · May 24, 2007, 06:06 AM // 06:06

Paragon.

Just what is a player paragon supposed to do outside a player group?Buff the NPC's while they fight and he holds back?

Close second is monk. Not because the class is so bad but because people give them little to no appreciation while expecting them to keep the party alive, they are ignored. But id also like to say that monks can be real arseholes themselves, for example when they think they are to important to pay to enter FoW like the rest of us, or when they whine and threathen to leave when things arnt going there way.

Nope..dont like either of them, no sir i dont. Would love a paragon in my group tho but the solo abilities seem lousy.

Cebe · May 24, 2007, 08:57 AM // 08:57

I don't get all the Paragon hate tbh. I enjoyed playing my paragon in PvE (I prefer ranged characters / casters anyway), but then I tried playing with a Stunning Strike build in AB. Stunning Strike is fantastic...bye bye caster!

My vote was warrior. I'm not that fond of Melee characters as it is but warriors, or more specifically, WAMMOS drive me freakin' insane!

Orinn · May 24, 2007, 09:00 AM // 09:00

Monk: I hate focusing all my attention on the party and none on what we're fighting. It's far from boring, but it's something I mostly don't enjoy doing.

fenix · May 24, 2007, 09:02 AM // 09:02

Every class introduced after Prophecies. But mainly Ritualist. They need deleting, as they are COMPLETELY STUPID. Because of the way Rits work, someone who is a 'good' Rit, will be terrible at everything else, but someone who is good at any other caster, is automatically an excellent Rit. Delete them please Anet.

Surena · May 24, 2007, 09:21 AM // 09:21

You know, when a ranged character like the ranger himself had to equip a hammer to become deadlier, something with his skills was wrong. By introducing the Parafag the room for more imbalances widened while we should have been given proper bowskill balances and no second ranged class with too much of an AL.

pamelf · May 24, 2007, 09:22 AM // 09:22

Assassin and Warrior are equal in my opinion. I don't like the chained skills with the Assassin because I feel that it severely limits what I can do, or what combinations I can try out since I always have to link three different types.

Warrior is purely asthetic. Both the male and the female warriors are simply ugly characters with ugly armours...

KazeMitsui · May 24, 2007, 09:23 AM // 09:23

rits cause all they do is spirit spam and then spam weapon of remedy

the_jos · May 24, 2007, 10:06 AM // 10:06

I've voted for Rt, but that's only because I could only vote for one

I have deleted my Warrior a long time ago, he could have been my vote.
But then, I see some uses I did not see at that time
I could have voted Sin, but I remember how powerfull they can be against casters in a good team.
I could have voted P or perhaps D, but I have not played them long enough to be really sure about it.

The reason I voted for Rt:
It's the profession I still have a character for and don't play anymore.
This could change, probably for P or D.

Firstly, my 2 cents on Paragon: Usefulness wise, a lot of people need to get over the constant nerfs to the class. Example: Stand Your Ground lasting 40 seconds and affecting all allies for 10 energy on an x/P was simply the most imbalanced skill I can think of. As it stands, they are still at least a B-Tier class in terms of raw potential. Are they fun though? That's open to interpretation and how you want to use them. As with any class, you can make it a lot more fun by making it into something it's not. So my Para is a Sword Paragon and he's huge fun to play. But I hate the armours, I really do...

And my thoughts on Assassins... Scythes + Critical Strikes = Win. Simple equation, try it for yourself

My words to everyone who singled out elementalists... Fire is only 1/4 of an elementalist's repertoire. Pretty much everyone who singled out the ele, cited 'pump out meteor shower/fire magic repeatedly, boring and way too easy...' You know, Eles have come a long way since prophecies and are far more versatile than they used to be. And as for our outfits, well, we don't all look like hookers tyvm

Theres a few candidates for my least favorite.

Ranger: I love my Ranger, I love the design of the class, the feel and the way they play. But the unfortunate fact is that outside of PvP spike teams, they are outgunned by just about every other class in the game. What saves them is their excellent lockdown game and the fact that they are actually enjoyable.

Mesmer: Powerful? Yes. Caster and Melee Lock? Yes. Heavy damage skills and spammable damage? Yes. Fun? Not really... Basically, I just don't like the feel of the class, even though it is one of the most versatile caster classes out there. I'm not huge on the high and mighty look either.

And the winner is...

Ritualist: Slow. I started casting a spirit chain and fell asleep on the job. I made my Rt a Rt/P with all P skills. That is all.

This had become clawofcrimson personal thread to defend the panziee skirt wearing paragons....

1)Paragons
2)Rit's
3)Sin's

WinterSnowblind · May 24, 2007, 11:54 AM // 11:54

I voted Paragon. Very dull class, not interesting to look at or play as.

I was also tempted to say Assassin. I don't actually mind the class, but I dislike all their faces/hairstyles and none of their weapons nor armour looks particulary good either. Hopefully that's fixed with Eye of the North.

Akuma · May 24, 2007, 12:14 PM // 12:14

Ritualist.

Whatever cow that made that class should be reported to ArenaNet and sacked promptly.

Raven Darkbringer · May 24, 2007, 02:10 PM // 14:10

Rit by FAR, but only spirit rits. Mesmers are awesome in that they can completely shut down characters.

Caleb Kane · May 24, 2007, 02:57 PM // 14:57

I voted Dervish.

Avatar of Melandru basically makes the game no fun.

TwinRaven · May 24, 2007, 04:55 PM // 16:55

From the department of redundancy department? Maybe not....compare this poll to the favorites poll....hmmm...ok, who's been voting more? The folks who are positive and like saying what they like....or the gripers who want to say what they don't?
