Default Most Fast Paced Profession

Which one is the fastest paced? Like, which one requires the best reflexes, the best awareness, fastest attacks, fastest speeds, more agile, and anything else that you can think of.

Also, if these could be rated in terms of 1-10, (1 being bad, 10 being excellent) that would perfect.

Best situational awareness has to monk line i think. Generic monk builds are not tough to run, but the more intricate builds require serious attention.

As far as just fast passed aggression? maybe sin or warrior.

PvP mesmers seem to have their hands full as well. I never really got the hang of mesmer skill management.

Rangers. Its more than melee and such, it requires mathematics, calculation of the arrow, flight time, how far away, where it hits, who, ect.

They also have many stances, traps, pets, and combinations to help them out.

It's the Jack of All Trades.

If you are rolling the mobs, then warriors. If you are getting rolled, then monks.

since this is the pve section, i'll have to say necro, mostly because they have the most variety of builds of any class. wars don't have to worrie bout bypassing smart defenses like kiting or blocking as much, and rangers really don't have to really worrie bout interrupting skills since daze is more potent/prevalent. monk is generally the easiest, because there is so much damage mitigation from the frontline/midline that monks are almost unnecessary in a lot of cases.

if it was for pvp, i'd have to say ranger.

monk would probably require the most attention in PvE HM with a balanced team, none of that sabway and discordway stuff. next is probably mesmer and then the ranger.

Rangers and mesmers because they are the best professions for interrupting.

Sins because they shadowstep around the battlefield and kill things quickly.

Monks because they have to pay attention to everyone's health and catch spikes.

Not to forget if arrow is made of wood, bone or steel, wind speed and direction, rain, tidal force, your foes direction and movement speed, armor, if you want foe to die fast or slow due to bleeding.

Rangers are also masters shooting spinning arrows so they hit foes no matter how many allies blocking your path, it takes skill to make such calculations.

This.

Warriors are more fast paced but don't really require reflexes they do have fastest attacks and they are supposed to run through things and are constantly moving from target to target wrecking shop.

But monks need to know everything that is going on so you need better reflexes.

Agility is based on the own persons movements not the character.

all professions have the same basic speed. you'll never have a character that's naturally faster just because of its profession.

with that said, some professions tend to be "busier" than the rest.

If you are running AP caller on a N/A with MoP bombing going on, you're going to see a LOT of numbers, loads of enemies dropping (or atleast appearing to drop) fast. This makes it feel like you are blowing stuff up...if that's the feeling you are going for, then I'd say Necro.

If not, Crit Scythe sin, WE Axe or Scythe warrs also blow stuff up hard & fast.

Monks dont really have that adrenal rush based gameplay... (unless you get your rocks off from spike catching...your mileage may vary).

An MS/DB Assassin is the most fast-paced.

Dash in, start spamming fast attacks for massive AoE damage, dash to next target, repeat, everything is quickly dead. Onwards to next group.

In terms of intensity and concentration required, heal/support Ritualist and of course the Monk.

most fast paced i have to say paragon really,you keep witching targets calling and spaming shouts,chants and atacks like mad and since your team is very well protected you blow things really fast.In terms of reflexes i think its between and inrerupt ranger ,mesmer,or a monk but since you dont use intrerupts that much in hm pve i have to say that the monk requires you to be the most concentrated and to have good reflexes
