What Do You Think is Anet's most Favourite Class?

[Ayumi Spender.1082]

The class I can't play and personally don't like. Elementalist.

[Khaliel.3918]

None. They're just not great at balancing things.

[Lindaklingomat.1253]

Where is the option for all of them? That's my vote.

Except Rytlock is a Rev now...

Thus, "a warrior first"

One of the Devs was in charge of Engi & he made sure it was always top tier. It's hard to go back and identify a meta where Engi was the be all end all OP class, BUT it's also hard to find a meta where Engi isn't top tier & borderline OP

Oh this poll would look completely different if it was pvp only.

Adding onto what Jinks said... in PvP The Scrapper and The Reaper were both pure BS in PvP during those days.

The reaper was nearly indestructable and murdered you through a mass of condi, and the Scrapper had rediculous damage and area control.

Through the patches, Engie was a clear favorite.

And you have any idea what Scrapper has been since then?, the nerfs that we got?!?, the purity of purpose meme didnt came outta nowhere, now the spec sees no play in any game mode, pvp was the only, and the only thing the spec was good at, and now it fails to handle today's pvp meta, are you still sure we are the favourite dude? we only have 1/2 specs for play in each gamemode, and they aren't specs to brag compared to what other classes has.

Not to mention that Engineer will never be a support class if they keep going with this balance philosophy

Scrapper since it's introduction has been a faceroll easy profession to play. It was a highly effective low skill elite that for an extended period of time was the best 1v1 class in the game.

The fact your low skilled elite got nerfed is a good thing b/c you can play holo now & it's meta too.

Engi should never be viewed as an overly nerfed or hated class of Anet.

[GoZero.9708]

I originally said Guardian because I feel like the class is constantly being gifted with buffs to its lower used skills (spirit weapons aside) but Mesmer seems to be given a handout to be more or less vital in all game modes. In WvW, there are numerous team and zerg strategies that rely heavily on Mesmer and Mesmer has the exclusive gift of bypassing walls if they are already inside for whatever reason. Mesmer has long been a vital presence in PvP with the best escape and movement tool in the game with Portal and Weaver only makes it all the more irritating to deal with because of confusion bursts. Lastly they are somehow the top or near the top of all three roles in raids as they are among the best support through Chronomancer, the best tanks, and consistently have amazing damage. This last patch, supposedly a reckoning for condi bursters, simply passed over Mesmer when it came to changes that affected literally every other profession.

Sure, Holo is great, but the existence of holo doesnt justify the extinction of scrapper, this isnt a core spec, its an elite spec, many other classes still play both elites regsrdless of their skill floor... the spec wasnt so brain dead, you wanna see something brain dead? d/d condi thief, now thats brain dead.

Welcome to every other class. The new elite kills off the old.

Yes scrapper required a paltry amount of skill. I agree D/D condi is brain dead. It was never meta though now was it. I wonder why.....

Either way Scrapper carried less skilled players past their skill level

Did you mean: Dragonhunter?

Did you mean: Scourge?

Did you mean: Spellbreaker?

Umm...

It didn't just get nerfed. It's basically nonexistent in any game mode now. It was never good or great for PvE, and it was basically our only option in PvP and WvW due to the powercreep of HoT. Now with the scourge, it simply isn't even B-tier in any mode. Virtually every other elite sees use, but scrapper does not.

[Xillllix.3485]

How can people say ele after the rampaging nerfs that class got? It's complete kitten compared to what it used to be.

[Kuulpb.5412]

I wanted to vote for two, Engineer and Mesmer:

I believe that Arenanet (From my deductions) Prefer Engineers (lorewise) and Mesmers (mechanics wise) over the others with their favourite race being Sylvari.

Scarlet briar was a Female Sylvari Engineer.Their first expansion was about Sylvari ( not humans or charr, but their new race)

They made Queen Jennah, Countess Anise, lady Kasmeer all very strong mesmers, Xera a raid boss is a strong Mesmer, they gave chronomancers alacrity ( before it was given to rev too), they let mesmers have an auto attack that applies torment ( which previously more of a necromancer style thing)

[RabbitUp.8294]

Mesmer, obviously. There will never be an elite spec as busted as chrono, or a skill as game warping as Portal.

That last part is actually not true. Torment was never particularly tied to necro. The patch that introduced torment added it to Mesmer's Illusionary Counter (scepter # 2), thief's Scale Venom, and added necro's Death Shroud # 5 for the first time, which inflicted torment. One month later, thief gets torment on a second skill (Shadow Strike) and warrior gets torment on Impale.

If anything, at that point thief had the most access to torment.

Don't get me wrong, but there's only been two obviously engineer characters -- Tybalt and Scarlet. You know what happened to both. The closest analogues right now are either Taimi (asura?) or Canach (explosives), but neither seem to fit the engineer theme.
