Guild Wars 2

What profession do you find yourself playing most of the time because it is the most fun to you?

You can find the poll here!

Engineer.

I find them all fun in their own way.

Elementalist – Open World PVE
Mesmer – World Boss farm (long distance DPS FTW)
Engineer – PVP (Not a turret build)
Necro – WvW (Staff/Wells AOE Bomb!)

Ranger

I can’t pick just one. Most fun? Mesmer, and that’s my go to for Fractals and dungeons now. Most played? Thief. I use him for Silverwastes and dailies, since he has the gold star and lots of mobility, not to mention stealth is awesome against the maze dogs.

Engineer all the way.

Where my Guardians at? Most fun class I’ve played, always useful, and gets noticeably better every time your skill improves.

Rangers should be far more popular.

The fact that they’re not says a lot about the poor state of them in this game, IMO.

Warrior = Most played profession.
Warrior = Most disliked profession.

I voted ranger.

my necro all day/night long:)

PvE:
Warrior = Least Played Profession
Ranger = Moderately Played Profession
Thief = Most Played Profession
Ele = Moderately Played Profession
Eng = Moderately Played Profession

PvP:
Warrior = Least Played Profession
Ranger = Moderately Played Profession
Thief = Most Played Profession
Ele = Least Played Profession
Eng = Most Played Profession

Enjoyment:
Thief

Right now it’s not representative of anything. 8 votes separate Ranger from Mesmer. Short of the distance between Mesmer and Elementalist, the distance between the one just above and just below each profession is only 4 votes at most.

This is still entirely anecdotal.

Do you not actually play the game? Rangers are everywhere. A fact that makes SPvP painful most of the time.

Engi, sometimes necro

Warrior for PvE
Guardian for Pvp

Necro.

I have World Completion on two Guardians, so I guess that’s a pretty good indicator for me that Guardian is excellent for solo/duo PvE play. They’re an excellent all-rounder.

I also have World Completion on my Staff Ele, I love the versatility of this weapon/class combo. My Asura Ele and Guard are my Main characters for the aforementioned reasons.

Adding to that, I PvP and WvW mainly on my necro(s), one of which has World Completion. Sure, necros aren’t the best in a dungeon, but a minion build is pretty good when it comes to solo play.

I’m also well on my way to getting World Completion on two of my Mesmers. They’re pretty handy to have around and also fun to play. The only thing that holds me back a little with them is the lack of reasonable speed boost.

Necromancer. My only character actually.

Engineer. /15char

Engineer is the most fun profession to play.

But I main an elementalist.

I don’t think I can actually vote on that lol.

My ele has the most hours because she’s my main, and thus has the most map open. I can’t necessarily say it’s because she’s more fun than any of the other classes. It depends on my mood and what I’m doing. I play mesmer, ranger, and necro quite frequently as well. =/

Thief.

Contrary to what pvp haters may say it takes a certain amount of skill. A lot more so than others like a warrior or guardian (didn’t say they don’t require skill… just not as much) An average guardian not playing his best in a dungeon will still probably be ok, a mediocre thief having a bad day is probably going to die a lot.

Mesmers are fun too

The profession I play most is guardian but not because it’s the most fun. I have all the traits unlocked for it, and have most of the world unlocked.

Truth is I find guardians hit or miss. Their damage is low, their health is low and they can’t solo in beserker gear due to low health and so it’s always a toss up of which of the low aspects do you want to buff up. The health or the damage? Cause you can’t have both, if you wanted both you should have been a warrior.

I voted thief.
But I enjoy all of them, I have 17 toons, so I rotate them out a bit.
My main is a human warrior, but I made a Norn Guard and Sylvari Ranger and Asura Mesmer on opening weekend. I like them all.
But if you asked about race:
1. Asura, especially in PvP
2.Norn
3. Sylvari
4. Human
5. Charr – I just don’t like the 4 legged running

I have a feeling the poll lets you revote, as there were more votes then views in forum =P.

I only do PVE and WvW, and I find myself usually falling back to Thief. It’s weird because I’ll always get angry about how squishy they are (like getting one-shot by WB attacks) and go and play my Warrior for a while, but inevitably I always go back to Thief.

Ranger since GW1. :P
