Ritualist FTW! Great style and fantastic gameplay. I love the outside-the-box design of the skills and builds. The most stylish characters are Rits; there's just something about those headwraps...

The only complaint I have about them is the /dance is very meh. Except for males.

Second favorite would have to be Paragon. Unlike most others, I don't think Imbagon is a dirty word and think that Paras are a blast to play. I like the armors too, but only for females; they are very good for combining, which I love doing.

My favorite would definitely have to be my Ranger, no question about it. Quite versatile, extremely survivable, and just downright fun to play. Nothing beats Dazing and then degen-ing target spellcasters to death. The amount of conditional pressure they can put on an enemy team makes them a key in PvP, too. Expertise also has to be one of the best primaries in the game, in my opinion.

Paragon for sure! A great paragon player can make a bad team look good. In a 8 man party they have the best e-management in the game. They can also do the following things.

1. Make a Monks job even more boring.
2. Increase the DPS of the entire party and allies.
3. Unstirpable damage reduction/blocking.
4. Increase the movement of ALL members.
5. In some cases you only need to take 1 monk in a 8 man party.
6. Can inflict daze better then any class.
7. 2nd best armor in the game.

All these things can be done at the SAME time!

Paragons ROCK!!!!

I vote Necromancer. Armor bypassing damage is HUGE in HM and against highly armored foes. Soul Reaping is absolutely insane energy management too, allowing you play with nearly any secondary class. They just look wicked too.

Funny you should say that...over the weekend I was playing Dragon Arena with my Ritualist, and in the arena area there were a bunch of people dancing around sans armor. I decided "hey, why not, it's amusing"...seriously? Female naked Ritualist dance? A stripper pole would not be out of place at all. I cracked the hell up.

ExoO · Jul 08, 2009, 05:14 PM // 17:14

I don't know what my favorite class is !! I cant stick to one character .... but monk would be good, because they can run a lot...by that I mean EotN mostly, and are kinda wanted to heal.

Mesmer. Wait can we swear here? Guess I'll censor it to be safe lol. I love ----ing with people. POWER BLOCK.

Ritualist too because they are so versatile, and I really like placing spirits.

I am very sure I'd like Paragon a lot too but till they get a PvP update I haven't tried them since I don't want to be stuck playing 1 build all the time.

tacodome · Jul 08, 2009, 08:26 PM // 20:26

Monk for a few reasons....
1) active rather than passive gameplay - requires constant focus (in harder areas at least) - more fun.
2) is very rewarding - a good monk is appreciated
3) fits my personality
4) generally easy to find a PUG.
5) by paying attention to everybody on the field, I get to learn a lot more about the game than when I'm playing other professions

Stills · Jul 08, 2009, 08:54 PM // 20:54

hmm... 10 chars, play them all really. concept wise it would be a tie between Rt and Derv.
Dervish: scythe... haha that's all you needed to say for me. avatars are really fun to play with (transform into balthazar you say? O.o yes please!). but when it comes down to it, */D owns D/* any day, which is kind of disappointing in game. still though, made my derv, ran him through all campaigns, fow armor, everything. now he sits in the backseat asking "are we there yet?" all the time. NO not until they buff you! a scythe wielding holy warrior needs to be better than what they have him as atm. imo

Rit: pve update made my rit a blast to play with. me 2 hero rits and a necro = amazing versatility in hm pve with tons of damage. concept-wise, being able to summon spirits/increase weapon effects/spike damage/and be able to run Rt/* with pretty good efficiency is my thing. elite kurz armor is [email protected] as well ^_^

The Black Mumba · Jul 08, 2009, 10:53 PM // 22:53

I like every core profession, but i vote for necro, warriors and rangers: the most versatile classes are the best.

The Scorpion Knight · Jul 09, 2009, 02:30 AM // 02:30

Warrior, enjoy the swords and shields, with the up close action. kind of like a Knight.

HawkofStorms · Jul 09, 2009, 02:58 AM // 02:58

Ele. Plenty of energy to be able to spec into anything. Can run all sorts of gimmicks and support builds. KDs, blindness, etc
Love it.

Mad Lord of Milk · Jul 09, 2009, 05:25 AM // 05:25

Warrior

Smash-face-with-hammer

YunSooJin · Jul 09, 2009, 05:27 AM // 05:27

It gets me going when I rush into a large group of HM monsters with my warrior and I don't die. I even wet myself a little. God I'm so good at this game.

Darth The Xx · Jul 09, 2009, 10:46 AM // 10:46

Kinda sad how nobody seems to like monk. But by far my most favourite class is MONK!!! nothing quite compares to keeping your whole team alive and knowing the other dude is raging behind his keyboard because he can't kill anything.

draxynnic · Jul 09, 2009, 10:49 AM // 10:49

Mesmer. It's a style of magic I tend to gravitate towards whenever it's available, and I tend to lean towards disruption over big damage even when playing other professions - although getting big damage as well as disruption is even better!

After disruption, I tend to gravitate towards melee-magic combinations - there's something about diving into the middle of a bunch of mobs and then blasting them all.

alternatively - the best profession is the wammo < not technically a profession but judging by its usage numbers in RA i'm sure it is a profession these days

Laraja · Jul 09, 2009, 05:27 PM // 17:27

Ranger. Trapping ftw. Plus they're interrupting-poison-bleeding-crippling-ganking-sniping-annoying pain in the asses. I used to love eles, but rangers are less conspicuous and way way more annoying.

They're summed up in this quote: It's the enemy you underestimate who kills you.

Show Some Skin · Jul 09, 2009, 05:37 PM // 17:37

My favorite would be Mesmer, i play em both pvp and pve

Gigashadow · Jul 09, 2009, 06:52 PM // 18:52

Probably split equally between Mesmer (I love blue Magic decks) and Warrior (for when I feel like smashing things myself, rather than just enabling others to do so).
