What Class do you like fighting Against, the most?

[otto.5684]

Limited CC, no boon rip, limited mobility and highly predictable.

I highly dislike anything with CC spam or boon rip spam.

[Dahkeus.8243]

Holosmith isn't as fun to fight against as it used to be, but it still has pretty good, clear tells, so fighting against them feels more like I'm trying to outplay the things I see happening rather than trying to fight against things that I am guessing are happening.

Warrior used to be like this, particularly way back in the Hambow days, but's it's less so with Spellbreaker. Still, I'd put it up there near the top regardless.

[saerni.2584]

Fun isn’t about easy for me to kill. Fun is about how even the matchup is, and could go either way if the opponent is good.

Revenant, because a good one is an absolute threat while still providing opportunities for counter play.

But I’d put out Reaper/Scourge as a close second because a good one is also potentially a tough fight but there are plenty of opportunities to take one down.

I don’t dislike fighting other thieves but, and this is personal preference, sometimes the opponent is skilled enough that we can fight for a long time, sometimes it comes down to who gets the drop on the other, and often the enemy thief can’t win 95% of the time. Thief v Thief is often a particularly lopsided matchup.

Honorable mention to warrior. Fun to fight, just too many “must dodge” abilities and so much chain CC to make them a tier below the others in “fun.”

[Quadox.7834]

Got depressed answering this because I realised 0/9 classes are fun to fight against.

Compare that to 2015 when all except cele ele and shoutbow were. And even they were maybe more fun than the most fun class now.

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

@"Knighthonor.4061" said:Which of the Guild Wars 2 classes do you enjoy fighting against the most in structure PVP?

^^ "the most" not the "least"

He is saying mesmer/chrono is fun to fight but not mirage.

[Daishi.6027]

My favorite was killing condi mesmers and knocking them off their high horses while everyone was indignantly crying they were OP. I loved using power mes, thief, ranger, and war prior to all the nerfs and changes since then. Even with condi mirage still having all it's jaunts and a good amount of vigor and damage it was fine, the extended evasion was a bit annoying and one of the few deserved nerfs, but at the same time it wasn't that hard to play around even then.

Now? Nothing is all that fun to fight. Everything is a minor annoyance or a poor matchup, feels like class takes precedent far beyond skill.Season 9 if a matchup was unfavorable it felt like almost everyone had the resources to outplay whatever they are put against. (except maybe necros who were really strong team fighters, and eles who needed some love) There were a few hard counters then, but now after all the nerfs and restrictions feels like you just run out or don't do enough if it's a unfavorable matchup, or unless your spec clearly over performs.

[UNOwen.7132]

Seems like Warrior is the favourite of most people. Honestly, Id argue using Warrior as a sort of design/balance/counterplay benchmark would perhaps be a good idea right now.

[Za Shaloc.3908]

Minus Rampage, I enjoy fighting Warriors for the most part. Otherwise most core classes are relatively enjoyable to fight against, but it gets unfun when elite specs get involved.

[Zenakou.7853]

I love hunting thieves. Most thief players I encounter suck so it's almost like a free kill if you survive the predictable bursts many open with.

[mrauls.6519]

As a DH... Rev

[Crab Fear.1624]

Holosmith.

[Stand The Wall.6987]

this is kinda hard since I play so many classes... but I would have to say dps guardy. they don't have any bs like every other class.

[Razor.6392]

Necros are food for my FA ele. It's such a horrendous matchup for them, that even core condi necros are more of a threat than scourge or reaper.

[Lagosta.9683]

The profession I main or the profession I counter. For the most part useless poll.

[Ten.2617]

Most easy to deal... They just come with Photonforge and all they skills until drops Elixir-S and flee or die. Scrappers are diferen because most of them are hard to kill, but deccap strategy works well.

[MyPuppy.8970]

Support FB, they don't hurt too much and I try to tickle them to death.

[Swagg.9236]

While warrior might have the most reasonably visible telegraphs in PvP, it doesn't mean that you're going to be able to really do anything to him while he does them. Block, block, immune, immune, evade, block, immune, 0, 0, 0, 0, immune. Although, it's not like every class isn't like this. I still laugh at how people try to imply that there's a real distinction to be made among things like invuln, evade, block and the like. Yeah, sure, alright, you can technically CC someone in mid-evade with a ward wall, and that makes evade different than invuln, but that's almost ENTIRELY irrelevant in basically any face-value meta match-up.

[Lighter.5631]

warrior ofc, because the skills are telegraphed and has physical language going on, you can understand what hes doing even tho you don't know the class.and no insta cast/teleport/magic out of no where/one button press stick to your target/long range pewpewpew

[ChillyKoti.1928]

Warrior and non-support firebrand guardian.

Large telegraphed attacks are super easy to avoid or block and Warrior doesn't have some instant heal skill aside of their healing skill when they don't chose healing signet.

[Kumouta.4985]

i play reaper.Warriors can't one shot, be one shotted, or have any other BS like that so it just feels much better to fight them than say, a mesmer. And i can lose or win without feeling like i'm under/overpoweredalso booncorrupt does something useful

[Tayga.3192]

Core: They always have some weird stuff so I like 1v1ing them.Berserker: I love when most of them are like " is op! nerf! noob!" when they can't oneshot me.Spellbreaker: I don't like dueling them because of FC. Also, most of them are carried by Rampage when I play power builds and Shake It Off when I play condi ones.

[NorthernRedStar.3054]

Guardian, relies mostly on non-trait defenses and offensive.

I would've replied warrior but, since Rampage is a thing, it comes in close 2nd.

Mesmer is kinda up there 3rd after the adjustments.

[Kageseigi.2150]

Thief vs. Thief

Unfortunately, it doesn't happen often enough, but when two decent Thieves meet in PvP, the duels can be quite epic... especially when trying to land hits when both are invisible.

I'm still waiting for Anet to make the Thief the king of Stealth again, and to give it the unique ability to see Stealthed enemies. Then allow it to extend its own Stealth duration by hitting targets that are also Stealthed (instead of being Revealed), which would allow "invisible" Thief duels to last indefinitely. Yes, basically turn Stealth into the Upside-Down dimension. I'm so ready!

[Nekromalistik.7045]

As a main warrior, I love fighting guardians, it's like a kind of rivalry "heavy fighter with magical support against heavy fighter to the old school" <3

[Issette.3248]

Warrior because I also play warrior and in this 1v1 situations I can really see how good or bad I am.
