rangers, pros are that they're pretty much perfect, cons are that they're so perfect you'll probably incapacitate both teams with ur pure awesomeness making most of your games very boringly easy. the life of a god is a ronery one

Assassin

lolganks are a big part of the game for me, and MS-DB rules PvE

Rangers and Warriors are close runners-up; R for being better at skirmishing, W for 3-second Bull's Strike

Warrior

Because out of every MMO I've ever played, Guild Wars is the only game that gets this class right. You read me, none of that sword and board, taunting and aggro crap. Get into the fray and kill stuff.

Pros: Easy to grasp, highest armor, very powerful in PvP if you're not an idiot.

Cons: Bad reputation, too many idiots, too many inefficient or underpowered elites. Too many generic skills, but I guess that comes with the profession.

I've tested both Assassins and Warriors, both having their respective "highest" damage builds. And both came out at about 61-65 DPS. Dervishes I dunno about though.

Ritualist, mesmer, necro.
Depending on my mood.

Laughing Bat · Oct 31, 2008, 08:33 PM // 20:33

Mesmer

Pros: Everything but armor.

Cons: Armor, there are only 2 good male mesmer armors in the whole game -_-

Shadowmere · Nov 01, 2008, 03:52 AM // 03:52

Necro

Pros: Amazing primary att. Awsome party buffs and support, curses = pure sexy win. And of course MINIONS. Who dosen't want a person around who can bring in 10 extra allies into battle? All that's not to mention they look awsome from the character creation screen on.

Cons: Not as powerful in pvp. Things that deal holy damage and have hex removal really put a wrench into my plans (hate the griffons in the shiverpeaks)

close second are Assassin and Ritualist (yes I <3 factions

)

mesmers offer (almost)no advantage as a primary profession in PvE. provide an example where casting a skill a little bit faster would actually be more useful than SR/Estorage. (echoing Mshower is not useful, fyi)

Aside from making the turtles easier to keep alive in gyala hatchery(although I'm sure there are better ways of doing it) nothing big springs to mind. Fast Casting is more of a convinence in pve then anything.

Playing a primairy mesmer in pve may not be optimal but its the most fun(for me) and pve isn't near hard enough to choose a less fun but more powerful pve class. I prefer it to SR/Estorage because e-managment is easy and cast times annoy me.

There's just something appealing about being able to deal damage, heal, buff, and run all with one character. Of course, I'm talking mainly about PvP, since you're most likely insane if you run any caster in PvE that isn't a Necro or Monk.

I suppose Paragaon comes in a close second, as, once again, they're quite versatile, bringing damage, buffs, healing, and more to the table. Oh, and unlike Rits, there's a reason to play them in PvE.

If I had to chose only 2 Characters to play, it would be either a Necromancer or Mesmer and a Ranger.
Ritualists are great fun and versatile, but their primary attribute is useless. So as N/Rt I can do everything a Ritu can and I actually get a benefit from my primary. Same goes for Me/Rt.
Both Necromancer and Mesmer can replace any other caster class and use their primary to great effect (in PvE at least).
For the same reason I'd take the Ranger as physical class: The Ranger can play as Warrior with cheap attack skills and the Ranger can throw spears just as good as the Paragon. Scythe and pet are also a nice combination.

Bottom line: Being a versatile class isn't really about what your class offers on its own. Since everyone can chose a secondary profession, it's more about how well your primary allows you to play any (secondary) style you want to.
