so you answered the poll, by doing the opposite of what was asked

^^ "the most" not the "least"

When playing as a thief, I find that fighting other thieves is the most fun to be had in this game.Doesn't happen a whole lot as thieves tend to ignore each other, choosing to try and outrotate the other thief, but when it happens it's just the best.There remains a tactical aspect to it of timing your skills, that has mostly vanished from the rest of the game.

I like fighting everything, as long as that class has specific weaknesses I can lay into and cant just lock me down without any kind of retaliation avenue.More often that not, that falls on thief. Its really satisfying to predict when they are coming out of stealth for a DJ or stowing your weapons only to block a backstab, or killing them while stealthed because they did something predictable like standing in the dead center of shadow refuge.

Its fun to fight everything but condi mirage at the moment, but V. thief matches have a special place in my heart. Necros are a close second, followed by warriors, power mesmers, and engineers. I think I'm less enthused about rangers, revs, and eles, but If they're good I still like fighting them.

Thank you for this, I mean it.

Astute observation, probably?Youll have to elaborate on what your conclusion is.

Things that are fun to fight against:

  • clear animations with at least ~0.5s cast time
  • skills with obvious counterplay - move out of the aoe, block the big incoming hammer swing, etc.
  • predictable movement - no shadowsteps or teleports. This allows strategic defensive positioning

Warrior is probably the best at all of these.

Then I'd probably say Ranger, Engineer, Necromancer, Revenant, Ele, Guard are usually fun to fight but some builds have unfun elements.

Then Mesmer/Thief which are rarely fun to fight. Both use a lot of stealth, teleports, and skills that are instant or too fast to react to.
