If you've played more than 1 PvE character/class, which was your favorite?

As a couple have already said - Necro is the most versatile class and a blast to play.... Minion Bomber FTW!!!!!!!!
I personally love my Warrior, not as versatile but extremely effective and enjoyable.
I don't care for Monk, but I've never been very fond of healing classes in any game....

personal preference

1 Warrior
2 Necro
3 Mesmer
4 Elementalist
5 Assassin
6 Ranger
7 Paragon
8 Dervish
9 Ritualist
10 Monk

I've extensively played 5 classes, with all 10 professions represented in either a primary or secondary.

Here's my take on them:

1. Ritualist/Elementalist. My ritualist is by far my favorite class. Not only is she the most versatile (e.g. she can go full offense, full healing, passive offense, etc.), she's also the one character that can solo almost everything in the game without heroes or henchmen. Too bad she likely won't reincarnate in GW2.

2. Necromancer/Mesmer. My necro is by far my most powerful character, with the ability to steamroll most PvE areas without much effort.

3. Warrior/Monk. My whammo is the character I spoil the most, as he's my "first born" and simply has the best toys. He also is my party guy, attending all special events.

4. Ranger/Paragon. Incredibly good for a versatility standpoint, although his "hit and run" style kind of gets old after a while. A nice change of pace character.

5. Dervish/Assassin. The current character I'm playing with, and one of the most frustrating to master. Plowing headfirst into mobs and destroying them with powerful AoE and Scythe attacks (especially when I shadow step into them...that's fun) is fun initially, but kind of frustrating later in the game. I guess I just need to practice more with her before she'll move up the chain.

necro

ele
necro
warrior

in that order

For me it's the PvE Ritualist. It is such a versatile class. Depending on the mood I'm in and what build I feel like playing, I can be a healer, a buffer, a spirit spammer, a front-line attacker, or other roles. I like the Necromancer and Paragon too, so I usually let my Heroes take those roles.

Ranger definitely the most fun to play. I played one exclusively the first year of the game and had a blast. Made a mesmer and ritualist the next year and they are both amazing, but the ranger was the best.

Thanks for all the responses. Especially to Jetdoc, that was the type of response I was hoping to hear. Details without too much details. I have my Melonni hero set up as a D/A with shadow step. If I were to play that class it's probably what I'd do.

I did try a Rit/Me in Factions, but got frustrated with it, probably because I just needed to be patient and learn to play that class. I'm so tuned into the fire nuking ele that it's the default easy route for me. I know the build, I know the energy management, that's why I ended up with two. I loaded NF and because I play eles it was the easiest character class for me to breeze through the game with.

I did try a ranger, and I like her because she can use a longbow to shoot out of her aggro bubble to pull very specific groups. That's pretty friggin' handy.

I also tried a Necro and although extremely cool in the highest way, to be effective you really have to PAY ATTENTION, whereas with my ele I can be lazy. Just make sure I back up if I look like I'm going to get mobbed, watch my energy and nuke the crap out of things.

As for warriors, I'm so used to playing an ele that I get nervous if I have to stand next to something and fight it face to face. LOL. Same with Dervish. It's weird, and it's just a game so I have to get over it.

My necro replaced my warrior as main char. But I had to wait till Factions, I love the pig tail hairstyle of my necro.

Monk! I love the power of healing and keeping the party alive and the challenge of having to be on your toes at all times.

Monk is my favorite, Warrior is a close second but you can't deny that monks seem to be the most versatile class in the game.

monk atm.

but it was paragon for a little while

and before that and probolly will be. Warrior.

Preference list (although this changes daily lol)

1. Ranger or Monk
2. Para or Ele
3. Warrior or Mesmer (but Mesmer goes from top of the list to bottom, daily :P)
4. Dervish
5. Sin

I have all of those.

I usually prefer caster classes, so I would rank my favorites as such:

1) Ele
2) Monk
3) Ranger
4) Ritualist
5) Necro
6) Mesmer
7) Warrior
8) Paragon
9) Assassin
10) Dervish

To br fair, I just bought a 10th character slot to start a derv, so I don't have much experience there.

My favorite character is my ritualist. I love her. I found that for effectiveness, I do better on my monk. I just get grim satisfaction out of monking.

The Ranger class will always be my personal favorite.
That's why I made a Bow Rit.
The most fun I have ever had in GW!

Derv...

[skill]Avatar of Lyssa[/skill] + [skill]Aura of Holy Might[/skill] + [skill]Judge's Insight[/skill] (on hero) + [skill]Strength of Honor[/skill] (again on hero) + fighting undead = BIG DAMAGE

Throw in [skill]Heart of Fury[/skill] for good measure

Ranger.
[distracting shot] is why.

*hugs his monk*

2nd place in my heart goes to my ranger :3

Favorite- Assassin.
Not the best, but definitely the most fun for me.

Warrior is my favorite PvE class, other than dealing nice damage and buffing your party with armor bonuses (I used to carry Watch Yourself but it when to hell so now I use SY). I beat Proph such a long time ago that I never got to use SY and D-slash to power it and perma-kd but still warrior was an awesome profession.

Second would be ele, but I have found that in some places they are very inneficient.

Necromancer was by far the least enjoyable profession for me. Other than running around with a MM or use an SS necro (or other curses builds) really I didn't get to do much. TBH in PvE I like seeing big numbers.. this is ironic because I love playing necro in PvP.

I prefer me warrior/ele. I love that i can tank and cast, doing double damage. Least fave: mesmer..they suck as primary...ok as a secondary
