What's the most common class in GW2?

[aceofbass.2163]

In my observation

 

OWPvE

Ranger

 

Instanced PvE

Ranger

 

WvW

Guard

Necro

(These 2 are basically the bread and butter of wvw)

 

PvP

Necro Nation

[Jaruselka.5943]

Engineer: 0%

 

Yea..that's about right LoL..

In my experience, its the one you never want to see. For me, that is usually the necromancer.

It does, but ... it is also a biased sample of the population. Discovering a third party tool that helps support gameplay is a wildly huge amount of dedication. So, we have a statistically significant sample of the most dedicated players in the game there.

 

> It is not surprising that revenant is the bottom one, as it requires HoT expansion. What is quite striking that the difference between the most popular core profession (guardian) and least popular core profession (engineer) is so huge. Nearly 3x difference. In WvWvW game mode, which is my main game mode, the difference seems even bigger.

 

I think part of that comes down to the simple fact that Revenant, and core Engineer, are both considered relatively "hard work for low reward" classes in the meta as defined by, again, third party resources. This has been true for approximately ever, honestly. So ... there is certainly a reasonable chance that population-wide numbers don't match these numbers.

 

(The HoT bit likely holds true, though, holding down Rev even if the most dedicated players avoid it despite owning HoT)

I'm genuinely surprised that Ranger isn't the number 1 on this list. Can't fart in open world without at least hitting 10 of em. I did notice that necro (Scourge) is heavily represented in WvW nowadays but then again... Scourge is insanely strong in PvP right now.

 

Revenant last... kinda expected that but I do have to pose the question why tho. I always thought the Revenant while not OP isn't in such a bad place anymore now?

It’s true that rev sucks less than before, but it will always be niche due to the complexity of weapon/legend swapping, clunky mechanics on most legends/traits, and ANETs overall history of over nerfing. Revs are doing ok now, but don’t delude yourself into thinking it will last.
