Guild Wars 2

What class do you like to fight the most?

For me, it is against another good thief, any spec. Nothing like a good game of cat and mouse. Usally who comes out of stealth first is at a disadvantage.

The other night, I fought this S/D thief (I was S/D, D/D spec). The fight lasted for a good 10 minute but I was constantly on my toes for the duration of the fight. We both used terrian and mobs to our advantage. These type of fights are the most fun for me. Also, it gives me a good indication of how I stand vs other thieves.

Another class I like to fight is D/D ele. I have to use every trick in the book to fight these guys but it is very rewarding when you come out on top (that’s if they want to fight and not run…).

I roll a D/P D/D thief and I usually go after nuke spec classes, such as staff ele or longbow ranger. They go down in 2-3 shots and killing them will help your group immensely, especially if you can take down a Mesmer before they lay down time warp.

Fighting Thieves is certainly the most thrilling.

I personally love going after the full gass-cannons the most although they are far less challenging to kill than some of the more durable builds. Those certainly put up the best fights.

All expect Pistol/Dagger. If I encounter one of those without my Sword + Dagger equipped I just walk away.

Eles can be fun to fight too and they often will. They’re probably the only class than has a similar sized ego to Thieves and think they can win everything. The nuisance with Eles is that they’ll just bugger off once things start going south and there’s not much that can stop them.

Most other classes are a lot less exciting to fight and either fight in a very predictable fashion or simply don’t die (Bunkers for example).

Favourite to least favourite:
Ranger – Easy target, seriously you can not lose against them as a thief.
Thief – Sorry to say this, but mostly crap players
Mesmer – Dueled so many, one trick pony
Warrior – I just love stealing on them, barely a threat, if constant blinded or mindgame’d
Necro – Usually easy targets, but can be quite annoying with their aoe blind elite, freeze fields & fear
Engie – IF they’re played well, they can be quite a challenge, also really annoying aoe daze toolkit elite, tons of conditions, invulnerable
Ele – Similiar to Thieves, but they can actually flee from u. I love fighting good ones, but really – so many just run away after engaging a fight with me.
Guardian: – a well played guardian is a thief’s worst nightmare, tanky class, tons of blocks, decent access to blind, good healing power

These are just from duelling, if I had to chose my favourite and least favourite target just from WvW it would be Thief & Tanky Ele’s.

Warriors in an open field are my favorite. Against a really good one it becomes a drawn out chess match with perfectly timed evades and counters to each others’ burst. One wrong move and someone dies. I try to minimize use of stealth as it usually causes them to run for the hills, which keeps things interesting.

I don’t really enjoy fighting other thieves as much, too much randomness. A random chance dodge here or there basically spoils the fight for one party or the other.

Favorite class to fight against is Thief its usually 9 time out of 10 some weapon set based on blowing all the damage cool downs to get a quick easy kill. Nothing brings me more pleasure in WvW than ruining a thief’s lust for the quick easy kill. Usually bad players.

I usually run P/D but sometimes other sets and the other day I was running D/P + S/D and I popped Black Powder and this thief just heartseeker like 5 times in a row and didn’t get the hint as to why he could hit me I couldn’t stop laughing.

There is something about people that run haste glass builds (all professions)that makes me want to kill them even more I go for a kill even more if I see them using haste not sure why maybe its just me. It just partially screams I am made of glass kill me please.

Least favorite bunker Guardians are tough fights with access to aegis, knock backs and blinds can throw you off. Fortunately most guardians aren’t complete bunkers.

i like the most vs mesmers- no invulnerability, easy target
i hate to pvp vs p/d thieves, specialy vs the ones who drag the fight near mobs and vs bunker elementarists, i usualy ignore that fights cause they take 15 min +
most challenging is vs engineers // S/D thieves // cc bunker warriors // burst elementarists
