Guild Wars 2

Mine would be Engineer/Mesmer, Warrior/Ele, Thief/Necro. In that order, necro close to getting to replace warrior’s spot on my favorite class list though.

Engineer: I like the high APM gameplay of engineer with kits and be able to provide team support through conditions/slight healing/cc and quite punishing if you don’t pay attention on whats going on since you usually only have 1 stunbreaker at best and only 1 condi removal.

Elementalist: quite same as with engineer but without kits obviously :P. Just sucks it’s not really viable in the current tpvp meta.

Mesmer: Shatter feels very tactical to play compared to most classes and is also really
punishing if you screw up but also very rewarding when you play it good and i just like the gameplay of mesmer alot with having preparing clones/phantasms before you can burst and stuff.

Warrior: I used to like it alot before healing signet change because it’s simplicity but yet effective if positioned/played well but also how punishing it was if you played bad. Not so fun anymore though since it’s way easy to play with the current meta builds and can afford to do so many mistakes.

Thief: only d/p as i like the way you can combo stuff and how strong it can feel when you play it right but also how fast you can die when you screw up.

Necro: i really like how the weapon skills synergize with each other as condition spec, it feels so fluid to play as long as you don’t use axe mh, dagger mh, focus/warhorn. It’s also quite fun to manipulate conditions through transfers!

Ele. Coz it’s underpowered.

Power Necro
attrition sustained burst-ish
melee-600-1200 range
plenty of soft/hard cc
rewarding to survive constant pressure hate

you guys are nerps. Those are all nerp builds. I play the 14/14/14/14/14 pistol/nothing.
You just need to wip your pistol out of your pants and start james bonding that kitten.

Such a brave fellow! I would never dare to do that!

thats cause you a nerp

Warrior and thief, because I like to hack n slash.

fav class: thief, because i like to sneak around, high mobility, high risk~
least fav would be ele, because of the whole I SUMMON THE WIND, I SUMMON THE FIRE OF BALTHAZAAARR

mesmers coz i’m too lazy. i let the phantasms and clones fight for me..lol.

I will put them in order from favorite to play to least favorite!

Elementalist
Mesmer
Engineer
Necromancer
Thief
Guardian
Warrior
Ranger

Warriors really iffy because I really like the old berserker 100 blades warriors and that would probably beat out necros with that spec but what warriors play today isn’t as fun.

I also enjoy playing power necro the most. I enjoy throwing down wells and the ability to go lich form in order to destroy their whole team. I tend to work well in any sized fights; anywhere from 1v1 to 5v5. The skills all feel very meaningful to use the whole time. Most of all I like the burst I can obtain (especially in lich form).

Greatsword Ranger – Reminds me of FF – & the animations are best in game imo

1. Engi/Ele
2. Mesmer/ranger
3. Guardian

Guard because someone has to do it. No, but seriously Guard has always been my favorite. Been playing it since launch and I love it. It’s just so well balanced, and a joy to play. Bunker, dps, or hybrid. They’re all viable, and play differently. Only thing missing is a good condition spec!

Ele/Thief, because they force you to be a better player and have enough risk reward to be satifying to play.

Yep I agree, played a Necro for most of my time since launch but having a blast recently with my Guardian. So many specs, so much fun ! I like trying and tweaking out builds just for the hell of it and see how well they all work, really made me a better player understanding the different roles. I find Guardian is also a high risk class, if you screw up on your cooldowns you can definitely get easily punished for it (well, if you’re not full bunker of course…)

Thief because I prefer a high-risk/high-reward playstyle and an S/D build because access to evasion > access to stealth

1. Guardian
2. Elementalist/Engineer
4. Mesmer
5. Thief
6. Necromancer
7. Warrior
8. Ranger

Guardian on numero uno as it is my main.
6,7 and 8 cause I can’t feel hipster with these classes anymore.
I don’t like pet mechanics, so Ranger is last.

Necro – Because im the best!
Engineer – Because i am a fanboy of VUH!
Mesmer – Those beautiful purple/pinkish butterflies!

Mesmer and thief.

Mesmer: Who doesn’t like doing 6K damage while sitting in stealth, stacking nasty conditions while confusing your opponent, or blowing people up with 3k shatters.

Thief: s/d is ridiculously fun and trolly. Shadow steps, shadow steps, and more shadow steps.

Eh, dunno if I’d consider s/d high risk….

lol s/d high risk? kitten the standards of the pvp population have really gone downhill

Theif/Ele because they’re both relatively underpowered. Well, theif is decent but a few other classes are op compared to theif.

In general, I just like picking the underdog and playing it well. It gives me a good challenge and it’s nice to gain respect from others when I successfully play a weaker class.

1. p/s condi engi
2-3-4: phanta mesmer, d/d thief, staff+scepter/dagger condi necro
5: ele (still in flux on fav build)
6-8: warrior-ranger-guardian (I only play these to know it for counter)

I usually play one toon a evening. I play 1-5 each week for 5 days, remaining 2 days I rotate 2 out of 3 from 6-8.

My current fav. is Warrior.

Previously it was Guardian.

And before that Ranger.

I expect to move classes again after the next big balance patch to whatever I think is most powerful/best.
