Stop your love for melee chars deceiving you. It is the Necromancers that win the battle, weaken and kill the enemy, protect their own party. Human Warriors and Rangers are just smarter minions for them!

That new Paragon minion is very useful, too!

This is a pretty useless thread to be honest

For PVE, probably mesmer or paragon.

For PVP, I can't really say. I see a mix of a lot of the classes. The least used classes were mostly used by people who knew how to use their class properly.

Forums, on a whole, are pretty useless.

On topic, I'd say it's a tie between the Paragon and Mesmer. Probably moreso the Paragon since the Mesmer is available in all three campaigns.

Pvp: RA/TA: Para, probably followed by rit or mes.
Pvp: HA: I don't HA anymore, but if I had to take a guess, probably rit or nec.
Pvp: Gvg: Sins, necs, and dervs. Unless, of course, you're Japanese >_>

im sry but, Para might be least played in random arenas, but a paragon is fully capable of keeping a whole team in there alive, as well as 2 paragons are capable of keeping 5 dumb warriors and a ranger alive even until hall of heroes

and in PVE paragons rule, they turn everythin to godmode

just make a P/W, get them a good motivation build, SOR, and healing chants, and get save yourselves and there is nothing to fear, and BOOM almost no damage since save yourselves gives 100 armor wich means 80% damage reduction, for a couple seconds, perfect to reduce an spike, and save yourselves, does almost the same, except its 30-35%

I love my mesmer to bits, shes the prettiest thing ever xD but meh...just doesn't seem to be the funnest profession to play in my opinion, I'm a pve junkie and I get bored fairly quickly with it though I wish it wasn't like that.
So, with tonnes regret I'd probably say mesmer.

Though I've never quite been able to get into playing an assassin, as someone else said, maybe its cos I find them sorta ugleh =s

doudou_steve · Jan 08, 2008, 02:05 AM // 02:05

For both pve and pvp i would say .....Mesmer

Yea of course they're good but people just don't need them, in HA i see more people taking para than mesmers, its just now everything is made to counter mesmers hexes(monk for example). And like said someone in this post, ranger can interrupt better, necro are now deadlier etc.......Its not useless but i think the developper in gw2 should not put mesmer in the core classes. I think peeps are saying *well uhh normal mesmer are more pvp than pve* just to find a purpose of their existence

Perkunas · Jan 08, 2008, 02:07 AM // 02:07

I started with Prophesies over 2 years ago. In pre-searing and early in post, I saw every class. The further into the map I got, the less I saw Mesmers and Monks. I believe at the time, all classes were strong enough to deal with the mobs in the early stages of the game. After say Lion's Arch, people wanted Healers/Protectors and damage dealers. The Smiting Monks, perhaps 50% up to that point, and the Mesmers that didn't learn support skills, went by the wayside. Those that were adaptable, made the changes and moved on through the map, becoming good to excellent. Most of the newer players I see, are looking for damage dealing. Go to pre-searing now, still see all classes, but the main ones entering the academy are Warriors, Rangers, Monks, and Ele's. The others seem to be 'perma pre'.

As far as Factions and Nightfall toons go, I see them many all over Prophesies.

AB - too busy fighting to see what class I am up against and can't see beyond my party window to see our allies.

Then you're doing it wrong

For most useless class in PvE, I'ld have to go with mesmer. Not that its a bad class, but compy's don't really care if they get interrupted 3 times in a row, whereas a human might get frustrated and begin to play poorly or even ragequit, so the main power of the mesmer is nonexistant.

Maybe we mesmers should gather in a large group one day and talk about everyone else.
If we are supposed mysterious lets do it in large numbers and in one town.

Unpopular classes ?
Well in pve its assassin and mesmer
The first has a bad rep or rather everyone has seen them played very badly and few seen them played well.
Mesmers well they are always the last choice for parties often because several other characters will have mesmer secondary.

Have to say Mesmers are a challenge at times, its not really a solo or farming class, they are team players and if played well can be pretty devistating.

Trouble is the team they are with has to know what they do and let them do it, in that way they are similar to a protection monk or paragon.

They may not appear to be doing much but the fact they just stopped half the oppositions spells in the last fight means they did their bit.

The problem is that they're not useful in a tank and spank strategy which is why everyone things Warriors/Eles/Monks > PvE

darkdreamr · Jan 08, 2008, 06:39 AM // 06:39

Mesmer, especially considering it's a core class. My mission in this game is to prove to people how amazing mesmers can be in pve and pvp. People always have plenty of arguments against them but if you've grouped with a really good mesmer you know what I'm talking about.

for all you mesmers out there represent!

Arath.inc · Jan 08, 2008, 06:54 AM // 06:54

Paragon's are quite rare. Atleast i rarely see them. And assassin's aint so much seen either. Thats mostly cause they are more of a PvP proffession than a PvE proffession.

I think that mesmer are kind of hard to play in PvE cause they have spells that mostly aims to do a shutdown on the enemies. And for PvE, then mostly this aint so good, perhaps some but it's best to have more dmg orianted spells.

(Edit: I'm not saying that they are a bad proffession. What i'm saying is how i see them)

maraxusofk · Jan 08, 2008, 07:26 AM // 07:26

iono i love my paragon in pve save urself on a para owns.

i say i see much less sins, mesmers, and rits in pve.

for pvp, i would think it depends on the place. theres a ton of sins in hb and ra. necros are popular in ta/ha spiritway. if i have to pick a class, i would say dervish jsut b/c outside of them spiking, u see them serve very few positions, and there are more war spikers than derv spikers.

arcanemacabre · Jan 08, 2008, 07:37 AM // 07:37

I think Rits are probably the least popular. In fact, I would almost put money on it.
