Which class do most people spend all of their time/money playing? I'm wondering mostly because I plan on making a new farming character (I have a 55 monk and Elementalist) and I know I won't play an assassin, which means I'm leaning towards warrior, but I don't really enjoy playing through campaigns with a character that everyone and their mom plays as well.

So I'm sort of wondering which character people have the most of, but more specifically, which character do people tend to use the most?

So, why don't you ask the question you really are asking? Which is, "which character class is least played, because I think I might want to do that?"

Well, if that is your real question, I would say Mesmer. The farming is more limited (not impossible), but rarely gets used. I have a Mesmer and I keep getting kicked out of DTSC's because people aren't used to seeing mesmers smite.

If farming is more your thing, and would like to use something that is not used as frequently, try a Rit. Although, I would guess you see more of those now with the recent buffs.

If I'm answering your original question, I would have to say Monk, War, and Sin. You say you already have a Monk, and won't play a sin, so Warrior. But, as you said, "everyone and their mother plays one (although probably not frequently)."

How about you play what you enjoy. If you pick something that other people like but you don't then you will end up screwed.

My necro was my first character, but my Warrior is my main and I play him the most.

I'd say I probably play (Warrior > Mesmer > Necro) more than any other classes I have.

monk or warrior probably

I play my rit the most, though my monk (who has leg. skill hunter) has the most xp with my oldest character--ele, the 2nd most xp.
I also play my 3 mesmers a lot, as well as my other rit.

least played, mm and warrior. (I dont have a sin and my dervish is a survivor waiting for some less lagg)

Mad Woody · Aug 10, 2009, 09:37 PM // 21:37

monk or warrior probably - the most common

I myself just adore my rit

1. Warrior = Monk = Necromancer

2. Elementalist = Mesmer

3. Assassin = Ritualist = Dervish

4. Paragon

Would be my guess at the most popular "title" or "mained" characters. Warrior, Monk, and Ele are probably easiest for grouping, with Necro in the mix. Most versatile? Necro, Ele, and Sin. I'd pick one of those last 3 as a title character, just because you're not stuck with one or two builds for the entire duration of your playing.

Most people have either a monk or a warrior (or both). If you're looking for a profession that is least played then mesmer would be a great option.

Mesmer was my first, but it's also my least played. 'Mains' sort of change with time. In the beginning everyone and his dog seemed to be playing Warrior, and there were hardly any monks. These days I find it the other way around. 'Mains' change with what people need for certain builds, and to complete certain areas as quickly as possible.

Pleikki · Aug 11, 2009, 08:35 AM // 08:35

i play nec most, then monk then war. meh just pick someting you enjoy playing

snaek · Aug 11, 2009, 02:42 PM // 14:42

mesmer is definitely the least played class (coming from someone who pugs a lot). followed closely by paragon. however, i've been playing my monk a lot simply because its usually always needed in a pug so its easy to find a group.

tbh though, making your decision based on popularity is a bad move. mostly because they are unpopular for a reason--they're underpowered and/or boring to play.

play mesmer. just becuase they are hotties.

Quaker · Aug 11, 2009, 03:30 PM // 15:30

These days, if I'm just plain questing or helping someone, I play my Mesmer or Ranger.
Next tier, for farming or Z-quests, I play my Monks (1 male, 1 female) , Assassin (perma), and Rit.
My Warrior, Ele, and Necro are mostly used for Z-quests.
My Dervish and Paragon have become storage mules (although the Derv is used for some Z-quests). My female Ranger always was a mule.

Of course, this is all subject to change without notice or reason.

monk or warrior are most common, then ele

IronSheik · Aug 11, 2009, 06:57 PM // 18:57

Warrior is played the most, coming from a big Pugger.

Ghost Dog · Aug 11, 2009, 07:17 PM // 19:17

Considering the sad trend of gamers these days is the cheapest easiest route I would assume it's sins these days.

I would have to say ele cause you can learn the game better and having a popular charcter isnt bad that just means you will find a group faster if you are a mesmer will be alot harder for you to find groups and what not. not the easiest thing to play either espeically if you are new mesmer is mostly a pvp charcter...

A mesmer is my main and I never have a problem getting into groups.

Mesmers aren't mostly a for PvP and how does elementalist allow you to learn the game better?
