Necro. Least well-thought and well-made class in core game (proph), most common class in all sorts of gimmicks, in pve it has too small range of viable builds ...

As for Sins/Rits/Dervs/Paras ... sorry, I don't consider them character classes at all. They are more of like half-classes with half-viable builds which are either useless or completely gimmick ... not to mention they are boring as hell. They didn't bring anything to this game tbh.

Nessar · Jul 07, 2009, 08:02 PM // 20:02

Hm...I don't know. I like all the classes in their own way. If I had to pick a class, I'd go with para or rit.
Paragons just bore me to death tbh. It's a good concept but i prefer chucking spears on my ranger. Ritualists are kinda fun, but they never really clung to me. Which is why I play e/rt.

-Makai- · Jul 07, 2009, 08:05 PM // 20:05

On my side: Paragon. I just couldn't get into the profession for one reason or another, probably because I was so accustomed to single target buffs via the Ritualist.

Foes side: Big Dumb Male Warriors (BDMWs). Nothing stings worse than being killed by BDMW XxYoMammaxX...

Paragon. outside of the imbagon build there arent many builds that go well with them. the class is more of a secondary

Warriors are a DROLL to play. I've had 3 over my GW life, two of them made it to level20 before getting the axe, the 3rd is now a permanent lv 2 mule. Warriors = skill 1, skill 2, skill 3, BOOM ADRENALINE HIT. Big whoop, its buttom mashing in my experience and while there is some adrenaline management, its reduced to hitting all the other skills until x or y has enough adren to use. I often fell asleep when playing my war.

Paras are long ranged warriors. While I find them to be slightly less boring and more aesthetically pleasing than Big Dumb Male Warriors (thanks for the right description Sante), they aren't much different.

Assassins, mainly because of all the shadow form farmers.

Pinkest One · Jul 07, 2009, 08:57 PM // 20:57

Tied between Mesmer and Derv,
Mesmers can be awesome, and have some nice armor. I'm just too slow to interrupt.

Dervs for reasons already stated. Mine does make a nice armor hoe though.

Shadow Spirit · Jul 07, 2009, 09:06 PM // 21:06

I've tried several times to play a Paragon and just can't get into it. I know they're imba in PvE but I just get bored with the playstyle.

Plus they don't have any armors I like and I'm an armor fiend.

Can you expand on this, because I'm curious.

Necro has always seemed like the strongest primary profession, because of Soul Reaping. It allows for all sorts of builds: /Rit, /Monk, /Ele for example.

If anything, Necro is TOO good.

Bastian · Jul 07, 2009, 10:37 PM // 22:37

Well, I will come out and say that I hate elementalists. I have a character with every other class at level 20, but my ele just sits around at level 4. I just find it to be the ultimate in button smashing. Sure gale and water trident are fun, but let's face it - people want fire with meteor showers and all kinds of aoe button smashing fun...

so boring...

Esprit · Jul 07, 2009, 11:40 PM // 23:40

Tied between Dervish and Paragon. Dervish for most of the reasons stated by most others in this thread, like casting enchants for e-management. Paragons because you have to be up in the enemy's face to hit with a spear.

Bryant Again · Jul 07, 2009, 11:48 PM // 23:48

Dervishes and Paras. Very boring and bring little that's new to the table, both in terms of play and mechanics.

Mokeiro · Jul 07, 2009, 11:50 PM // 23:50

AssAsins. They ruined the game

In PVP they do more dmg, knockdowns and conditios that a warrior could ever dream, my war must recharge adren to cause conditions, and recharge adren again to knockdown, and it loses adren. A sin knockdown you with a single skill and apply bleed, poison, deep wound and cripple in 3 shots, don't forget the crits and double hits, just a bit overpowered.

In PVE they have monopolize the game with permaSF, not fun to play anymore.

Also shadowstep is the most broken idea in GW history.

Wish Swiftdeath · Jul 08, 2009, 12:10 AM // 00:10

Mesmers

I can't play them very well due to my ping and usually when I'm on a roll I get a glad/rank 10 mesmer that shits on me the whole game...

With necro a close 2nd (like them a bit better now that lingering is gone - durrr hitting every button on my bar and nothing goes up!!!)

Sins can be really easely countered though because they depend on chains if you take out the first or send attack they usually stuck.

But other than that I tend to hate warriors in pvp just because they are so many bad ones out there

glacialphoenix · Jul 08, 2009, 12:23 AM // 00:23

Warrior for me. I just don't take to it. I'm generally not a fan of melee classes.

I saw the picture, hey. Your Factions necro is my necro's brown twin! (Although my max armour set was Ascalon and not SJ. I got the same scar though!) And I made her that way for the exact same reason.

I have a slightly different problem. I like playing Cleric, so it usually goes to me without a fuss. The one time I didn't play a cleric (we were planning for a multiplayer BG2 game and I was the paladin), everyone sat around puzzled because - my god, she's not the cleric, wtf? Had another game a couple days back and my friend automatically asked me to heal him before realising I wasn't a cleric - but that was because the option wasn't available. (It wasn't D&D.)

laksa and curry · Jul 08, 2009, 01:12 AM // 01:12

My vote goes to the paragon class. Reason being imbagon is the only skill bar that get the nod of the head.

Willow O Whisper · Jul 08, 2009, 01:36 AM // 01:36

Rits..nice concept no doubt....but placing spirits and moving them around....i just can't stand it...
Btw im all in for the non anorexian female sin concept ^^. Those girls are waaay to skinny.

Least favorite to play? Melee classes. I'm a ranger by nature, I prefer to be the one who survives the wipe.

Lest favorite in general? Elementalists. All of them are either RTL or ZOMGKILLKILLBANGBANGFIRESTORMINTHEFOWTOSPLITTHOSEM OBSBOOM

I had a dumbass hit a mob in the FoW with Firestorm while we had TWO Splinter Barragers (Myself included, so I know dmg was high) firing. Needless to say, we had some butchered casters fairly quick.
