I think you mean, Assassin= BRAVE AND BIG DOMAGE

However, first and ever since my neglected love child ... my Ritualist.
Why? Because they looked so good dang hawt with their tattoos and stuff.

Like to play her in PvP but Rit in PvE, not thanks not for me anymore.

You know, I don't think I meant that. Seeing as how Assassins take damage like a baby does when you drop it down stairs. That and that fact that Warrior damage has always been the highest without skills. Also, can your Assassin provide any bonus for the party other than spamming Moebius like a tard? I believe not.

Pretty sure SY spam on assassin is pretty good.

My first character was a Ranger. Because I liked the whole concept - having a pet, traps, ranged attacks, etc.

My Favorite Character is my Mesmer. She's just so much fun to play! Besides, that "Me/*" in the LFG message works rather well as a bad PUG repellant.

Nothing beats a D-Slash warrior though. They can get SY off more and do moar domage.

Why are people even defending sins we all know that the muscular warriors would snap a sin in half like a twig. No argument.

Overextending into their backline by default, with paper armor like a monk just to get a 600+ damage combo off ... now THATS what I call brave and big domage. And I have seen many Sin's in Frenzy

now tell me again that a 126 armor shield wielder is brave ...

Bought the game for the ranger's Beast Mastery and spirits.
The same day I moved onto the necro.
Raising stiffies was just too good to pass. Then got bored of that and moved onto curses which then led into falling in love with the mesmers. These guys have probably the most fun skills in the game.
Then Factions came out and the casting animations, armors and spirits that actually worked the way I thought nature rituals did - made me fall in love with these guys.
So up to GWEN I was constantly switching back and forth between these guys (well mostly mesmer and rit - since I had fallen out of love with the necro because god mode bores me) - and then came the PvE skills. Which meant that I only had 4 slots left and the ritualist fills them better then the mesmer. Combine that with the insane armors and we have a winner!

But now I moved on to raising skeletons. Can't wait to reach lvl12 for mages!

Because a 126 armor shield wielder won't die if you overextend.

I started out as an ele.

It was my first of these "fantasy" games, so blatantly i had to have fireballs.

Kawil · Jul 27, 2008, 07:42 AM // 07:42

Mine would have to be Necro. I have an interest in Mayan gods and death, so Necs really fit in with that. I love spreading hexes around. [parasitic bond] is my friend, lol.

Pleikki · Jul 27, 2008, 08:35 AM // 08:35

I allways wanted someting challenging, so i tried make characters hard to play, after that i've looked how some characters looked, and then choosed the one that i think would be coolest to play, few characters maked only for farming or whatever and now all of em have gotten deleted.

Kikuta · Jul 27, 2008, 09:37 AM // 09:37

Warrior, just because I love being a D-Slash lulzmobile.

Runner up is my Necro. MM's and SS nukers are fun.

Pre-Factions:

Warrior:I like hitting things.

Monk:The GW heal/support class seemed pretty integral to 99% of the game hence I wanted to learn how to play one, more so for future reference and the philosophy of knowing one's enemy and also knowing my team mates capacity.

Since Factions release:

Sin as my primary.

The concept of the Sin class grabbed me instantly.I love glass cannons and the margin for error being much smaller than I had experienced thus far really put the nail in the coffin of my Warrior who would easily survive most encounters even if I made fatal errors in build mechanics or skill usage.

I love the fact Sins are far less forgiving in this respect which keeps me on my toes and makes the game far more exciting for me to play.

The fact that if I make mistake I usually die as opposed to take a bit off my red bar obviously took time to adjust to, imo a large reason they were so disliked on release, but after a few weeks it was exactly this burst-spike glass cannon mechanic that made the game totally fresh and exciting for me.

I've never looked back since and although I dust off my Warrior every now and then it's not long before I'm hankering for something a bit more risky and challenging.

I also like playing the underdog in nearly all situations including RPG's as I find it vastly more rewarding to accomplish goals.

Aera Lure · Jul 27, 2008, 01:25 PM // 13:25

Mine's my monk. I've always enjoyed taking a support role and excelling at it to the benefit of the party, being as helpful as I can. For me its always been the team co-op aspect of the game that is most appealing. Even in a PvP environment, its the team play of your team vs that of another team's synergy that I focus on, rather than outright competitiveness player vs player. Be it a PvE PUG or a guild group, or PvP the little that I have, its always in this role that I find the most enjoyment. Its why I am very down on heroes, the demise of the PUG and issues like that.

Ranger
I fell in love with the class from day 1. The first thing I liked was beast mastery , but soon Expertise caught my eye , not because of the reduction of the energy cost of some skills , but because of the stances , I made many other characters in the meantime , but since I captured Barrage I never played any other class again in PvE. Plus there isn't anything sweeter than Dis-shoting something .

Zebideedee · Jul 27, 2008, 01:47 PM // 13:47

My first char was a Warrior but tbh I didn't have that much fun with it and hated how most of the armour looked so I deleted that char and made a Necro and haven't looked back since

I also have a Derv and a Monk now which I like but my Necro is definetly my fav

lolno, sins don't use adrenal for anything other that spamming SY, unlike the war whose entire bar relies on it.

and do moar domage.

lolno, MS/DB does more single target damage easily(85+ DPS), and when you take into consideration the AoE damage, its not even a contest.

because sins look cooler, and always will :3

EinherjarMx · Jul 27, 2008, 04:17 PM // 16:17

because fem eles are hot

Nessar · Jul 27, 2008, 04:27 PM // 16:27

My fav and main prof is ele. I just love how much damage they do and are somewhat versatile. They are really fun and easy to play, seeing as how you an push a few buttons and blow everything up in seconds. I also really love their armor, which is why I made an ele in the first place. But tbh, I really liked fire magic and wanted to play around with that when I first got gw.

Now I rarely play my ele, but if I want to roll through an area, she's always the first one I'll choose ^^

A second close is Derv or Monk, I love healing people and doing ridiculous OP dmg that pisses people off c:

Buster · Jul 27, 2008, 04:55 PM // 16:55

My favorite is necromancer because it is a very versitile class. I can choose either death,blood and curses and still be a strong asset to the group.

1. They are fun to play.
2. Grenth is by far the best God in the game.
3. Spiteful Spirit ftw!
