wrathmagik.3518 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Engineer since vanilla. I just really love the flamethrower and versatility of the class. Then hot came along and i thought scrapper was amazing. Holosmith tho. Meh. Not interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conncept.7638 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Elementalist since beta, with the crappiest condition build you ever saw. That is until the weaver, and now that same condition build is freaking awesome, frequently hit 20+ stacks of burning and 60+ stacks of bleeding at the same time. I couldn't even hit 20 of either on the base ele, let alone more than that from both at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chorne.8195 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 This was the first class I ever played and I instantly fell in love with it. I'm not the best at it, but I enjoy it more than I enjoy super easy button-mashing classes. My second favorite is Engineer, closely followed by Thief.

Figlilly.3907 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I have 23 characters with multiples of every profession with the exception of Engineer. I only have one of those. Ranger is my "go to" class whenever I want to try something new such as my first steps into HoT or PoF. Although I don't claim any expertise - I am more of a jack of all trades and master of none - I am most comfortable with my rangers. The ranger was the first one I created back when I started. It will always be my favourite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endless Soul.5178 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Necromancer. I've played my necromancer for 3,015 hours. She's my main, my first character, she's the one that's made the most gold for me, filled my home instance with stuff, maxed out my material storage,, etc. My next most played character is a mesmer at 885 hours for reference. I don't care what the meta demands I should play, I love my little necromancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman.5829 Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share Posted November 6, 2017 About 5 years ago, my first toon was ranger, then I created a warrior and loved it. I have played mostly warrior in GW2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverDragon.3912 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Mesmer even though pve with it is cancer. Done all of the story with her & Living world episodes. I honestly would love to change to my thief or guardian but again too much invested into my mesmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azure The Heartless.3261 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I like pvping with all my classes, but if I need something done as cleanly as possible, It's warrior for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack O Lights.9312 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I play my engineer the most because he's matched up with my brother's guardian. He will Leeroy Jenkins into a group of beasts and pack them in all around him and I'll sit back and lob explosives at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanfearShadowflame.3189 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Across my primary account, hours tabulated across assorted characters by class: Elementalists - 1271 hours Necromancers - 1112 hours Rangers - 692 hours Mesmers - 634 hours Thieves - 248 hours Guardians - 215 hours Warriors - 185 hours Engineer - 80 hours Revenants - 28 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westenev.5289 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Ranger was my first real character in the game (that I didn't delete). I enjoyed it for a LONG time, but I just don't like the look of axes, torches or the stinkbeast aura... so condi is a real nogo. Berserker Ranger feels like a joke in PvE (compared to other classes), so I haven't been able to play it as of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Issildia.1289 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Ranger, Ele, then Mesmer. My Ranger has been my main since GW 1. I still have fond memories of playing a Splinter Barrage Ranger in Tomb of the Primeval Kings. I recently moved from my Power Druid to the more favored condi Druid and it's reignited my love for the class again. Ele was always a very close second, in this game and the last. As for Mesmer, I think I prefered it more in GW 1. It was such a skill based class. I also have a particularly good memory of placing Empathy, and Sig of Midnight on a Burst Assassin in Alliance battles. He died in less than five seconds, while my Mes was untouched. Good stuff.

Seera.5916 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 * Elementalist - Tempest/Weaver: 945 hours [My main and not sure if she's staying as Weaver or going back to Tempest. Switched to Weaver during the Eater of Souls quest for added condition damage] * Elementalist - Weaver: 18 hours [Was supposed to be the one who went Weaver with my main staying as just Tempest. * Warrior - Berserker: 236.5 hours * Guardian - "Dragonhunter": 79 hours [Dragonhunter in quotes since she hasn't been played much since becoming one] * Ranger: 105.75 hours * Mesmer: 71.5 hours * Revenant: 10 hours * Necromancer: 4.75 hours * Engineer: 3.25 hours * Thief: 6.5 hours My main and my warrior have done map completion.

You need to log into a character and do /age in chat to see the number of hours it has been played. Repeat this for all of your characters of that single profession and add up the hours to see how much you've played that profession. Repeat for each other profession you have characters of. I expect 20 seconds to1 or 2 minutes to note play times for each character depending on where they are located and thus how long it takes to load into them.

Or, you can pop your API key into GW2 Efficiency -> Account > Characters. It rounds your hours on each character, but I don't think any of us are looking for playtime down to the last minute.

Lpfan.3578 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Guardian has been my main since the head start! I'll focus on another class for a while sometimes, but I always come back to my Guardian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedek.8932 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Excelsior. Deadeye is **THE** profession for me. The underlying "core" Thief is fine as well, as are some streaks of Deadeye. I am sure I won't switch the profession every again in GW2, except aNet changes fundamental things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maizan.8516 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Wow in surprised the number for necro. I understand not every player who plays the game are viewing and responding to the thread. I'm just going by the necro sub forum which tends to have a bit of frustration spewing forth. I love the class but I just play solo open world content mostly so I could probably pick anything and be just as happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirnale.5914 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Necro. Reason? 1. I prefer not to play classes that keeps running away when it gets difficult. I either win or lose, and do not want to need hundreds of tries to get someone down. 2. I do not rely on cheap skills like endure pain or any form of invul, extreme dodges, stealth, spamable teleport, or a massiv combination of those. 3. I prefer to burst someone with both condi and direct dmg. 4. I like lots of Aoes, like a lot of them. 5. I prefer midline classes, that can pull off melee and range dmg decently. 6. I like control effects for more than one person. 7. I like classes that requires good positioning. 8. I like a class that can play different game modes. 9. I like dark classes.
