Assassins - Used to be highly unpopular due to all the Narutards and such making them, but now they are highly powerful, still more PvP oriented but seriously good when used right. (Can we get something more than that A/W BoS build tho?)
Rits - Allways welcome in my experience, although most people saw them as just another monk (Quite fun to annoy people by putting up offensive spirits and watch them rage quit on you because you aren't what "THEY" want in a Rt)
Paragons - Used to be good, but then Anet nerfed the hell out of them. Now they are TERRIBLE.
Dervishes - Were allways good. Just too many of them. AoG provided much needed easy access enchant hatred to deal with the prot fests that drag matches out longer than needed. Nothing to complain about here.
The problem with these classes is they are just outside the Holy Trinity that is the Core Classes (Minus Mesmer). If you aren't a class that is easy to understand, people just reject you because they can't be bothered trying to figure you out. Anyone can be highly effective at one of the new classes, but the majority of leaders don't want to wait around to see it.
