I would say ritualist but between Item spells, weapon spells and binding rituals, I know it can be a different language for most people. I'd go with paragon.

For they are Teh Spamfest of Shouts!!1!

Personally, Paragon is a definite go. Not even taking into consideration that Imbagon is arguably the best build in the game, They are VERY straightforward and easy to play, provide very good party buffs and have a DPS that rivals warriors.

Oh, and ridiculous energy management, perminant IAS and ranged, which means you don't be taking much damage at all.

Necro makes PvE ezmode. At lower levels elementalists and warriors (unless you're set up for tanking) might seem like better damage dealers, but once you're fighting lvl 28 mobs in hardmode, necros outclass anything.

It depends on what you want to do in the game. Solo Stuff-Necro,Monk,Rit, Ele. If you want to go Party-Paragon,Nuker Ele, Warrior Tanker etc..., If you want to be the Ursan-Ele,Necro,Paragon. We cant tell you what you want to be. It pick you want be confrontable with is best thing you can do. If you cant make your mind. Might I sugguest doing Zashien Challenges with different professions to get a feel which one you like the best. Once pick the one you like delete the PvP ones and make a PvE character profession you liked in the Zashien Challenge.

Ele's and Necro's are the most fun to play and really least complicated. Mesmers, rangers, assassins on the other hand are a complete phail imho.

I'd never really play one of them though I have one of each as a mule they do make great mules for storage.

Any character will do , just get EoTN rank up your Norn title track, and you can UB all areas in every chapter, it even saves wear on your keyboard as you only need use 1234.

Paragon

12chars

I would say a Curse Necromancer spamming SS and Enfeebling Blood, Reckless Haste and Mark of Pain is not that difficult but very effective.

I have to agree on this.

In most of the PvE environment, all classes are acceptable. Just play a class that you will enjoy. All classes aren't easy or hard to play, they're just got different rolls to which can contribute the team most.

blurmedia · May 08, 2008, 09:09 AM // 09:09

Warrior or Paragon are the best buttonmashing classes, hands down.

Tatile · May 08, 2008, 09:11 AM // 09:11

Just try out each of the professions you don't already have in a place like Cantha or Elona (storage for gold and drops, you see).

I'd say Warrior or Necro personally, as they are fun, fairly simple and can do large amounts of damage (differently, mind you). Female Warriors are fun to play dress-up with as well (end shameless plug).

However, make a Rit.
Just do it and see how much fun they are, plus the casting animations are great.

Luminarus · May 08, 2008, 09:14 AM // 09:14

Hardest is definately mesmer, and monk (bar HP spam that is used with ursan). Ranger can be similarly difficult, or challenging depending on you're build.

Assassin can be a challenge to use in PVP well, but in PVe its generally quite useless, or using a brainless 12 spam build.

Easy characters...
Ele target mob and spam
Warrior - C+Space
Necro - AE SS Spam
Rit - Dunno wats not nerfed
Paragon - C/Space and use skills on recharge
Derv - C - Space

On last thing worth noting, is its easy to be a good para/ele etc, but its hard to be a great one.

take_me · May 08, 2008, 09:55 AM // 09:55

I would be easier if you told us which classes you already play.

Make an Elementalist if you don't have one^^

Arduin · May 08, 2008, 10:00 AM // 10:00

Choose a class, play it for a few hours, if you like it, continue playing, if you don't like it, make another character....

Why don't you just try it for yourself?

Really, warrior isn't complicated and can be played even if you are not paying attention to your game (at least at the early stage of the game.)

not that simple for pve dude, and have you ever even played warrior in high-end pvp? postioning and all that makes it very complicated.

captain_carter · May 08, 2008, 10:14 AM // 10:14

I'm not seeing much love for dervishes here, I count 1 mention so far.

I am going to say dervish, I think they are fun to play, not too difficult and have some interesting skills.

Yes more than flare and stone dagger spam /roll eyes

miskav · May 08, 2008, 10:55 AM // 10:55

Ele is most likely the easiest.
Warrior is considered the easiest by most, but if you want to play a war WELL, then you'll have to put in quite abit of effort (Watch over your team, tank certain mobs, kill certain mobs, interupt, etc etc)
Same goes for ranger.

Elia · May 08, 2008, 11:12 AM // 11:12

I don't think every class are easy, there will be some situation where you will have to pay attention at many things, especially in HM if you play PvE.

The warrior, I can read here that warrior isn't complicated, easy etc, but most of the time when I ask a warrior to use a proper build for the mission/vanquish we are gonna do, and to be a good tank, it's not that easy for him.

Mesmer isn't hard to play, imho it's a very fun class, it remind me ranger for his multi purpose skills (anti melee, degeneration, interrupt, etc). You can almost take control of your opponent.

It really depends if you like offensive class or defensive, ritualist is one of the strongest if you often play with a melee character in your party, got strong heal, insane firepower, undispellable buffs, and stylish summoning movement

You said you want to create a new character, but which characters you already have?
