Guild Wars 2

So which classes would you rather play the base without the elite? And which classes would you rather prefer the elite?

For example, I think I will play Chronomancer a bit more than mesmer, Reaper over necromancer, daredevil over thief, scrapper once engineer.

However, I prefer Ranger over druid , warrior over beserker. Revenant over Herald, I play very little warrior or elementalist so no preferences there.

The only two that make me say, I have to spec this, are Chrono and Druid.

I will spec Daredevil without staff.

And Herald is probably the best elite spec, but they did that intentionally.
