Your love

[Zbysier.3425]

Hello All,

 

I haven't seen such post reviewing recent topics (if one exists, apologize), so I would like to ask you one question:, which profession you fell in love with and you will play it no matter what. Which one has that special place in your heart? 

[Hashberry.4510]

Warrior. All the builds are fun. Plus Oscuro’s rants.

[Suyheuti.1732]

Mesmer, all builds except virtuoso. I love chrono and mirage both. Why I dont like Virtuoso, because when I play with it, it doesnt feel me like playing with mesmer. 

[Kuma.1503]

Ele and Engi equally. I like buttons and I like versatility. 

[Zekent.3652]

Warrior, i find it the funniest class, doesn't needs to be overtuned to be good, except pvp bladesworn, it's boring because it's overtuned in numbers and etc.

[Chyro.1462]

Ele - Tempest.

 

Enjoy being the heart of the storm while dishing out support boons when I feel like it and going fast with perma swiftness 😄

Elementalist, and I do sometimes question why, but honestly wouldn't change my main for anything at this point 😅

[Fan Didly Tastic.7169]

Revanant until they started removing it's mechanics or flat out broke them. It was nice having a kit that I could modify on the fly and fulfill what my team might be lacking. You used to make versatile builds in rev, now you build a specific role like everyone else, with your legends being more like specific trait trees matched to specific builds. Missing even one of the required legends for your build usually means you're going to underperform and possibly kitten your team.

It's pretty lame.

Fire Elementalist (Mostly Tempest, still waiting for an elite specialization that focusses on camping one element. It's long overdue.)

Warrior (mostly core and Spellbreaker since the post-PoF Berserker dework)

Warrior. Core and Spellbreaker. 

 

[Vinny.7260]

Mirage, especially the Axe.

Berserker, love Skullgrinder and the metal-head vibes it gives. Goes well with KoRn.

[Blood Red Arachnid.2493]

For some bizarre reason, my favorite spec is Deadeye.  It's not particularly good in group PVE, but I still like playing it nonetheless.  

[Alcatraznc.3869]

I always love Engineer, even when Anet mess up with that.

 

Gameplay wise it is fun and lore wise, it feels nice to be able to survive in the world only relying on your own inventions

[Ruisenior.6342]

Guardian, specially any heavy fire focused build 🙂

[ArjukKagrim.6049]

Engineer, especially core but also scrapper and holo. I really like to be a tinkerer that pulls gadgets out of his bag when needed. Although I hate that green abomination that does not want to let me play with my beautiful kits.

[Dadnir.5038]

Reaper's shroud, it's the coolest thing in the game, I mean, you get to wield a kitten scythe to cleave your foes when all other professions and e-specs are stuck since 2012 with the same boring set of weapons.

My first love was Ranger. Ranger was my beloved main until I started to progress in Fractals (Season 1 type fractals w tier 50 cap). As I progressed leveling my ranger (Fractal level was per-toon originally not account wide) in fractals I began to feel like the class was seriously lacking capability because back then your pet would die to the AR check at the start of each boss in high tier. Ranger had similar problems in dungeons with poor pet pathing ranger was considered poor dps outside of trapper condi which was only good in certain places. I still play the ranger mostly on druid and soulbeast, but I still love Core ranger too. Its just not my main anymore. Just over 3200 hours played on that same ranger now.

 

Around this time I had a friend that played Mesmer and I was always impressed by what it could do. Eventually Mesmer became my main and was my main for xxxx hours until I got sick of the one dodge pvp/wvw 2 dodges in pve split mode insanity that is Mirage balance. I miss my Mesmer but it was just too sad and irritating to keep playing it. I still use it when I need portal, feedback, or when AlacMir is called for (that was pre-EoD mostly).

About 6000 Hours now on my original Mesmer toon

Now I don't have a main and don't love any toon like I once did. Furthermore, I cannot talk myself into investing time and emotion into another class after the above experience.

[oscuro.9720]

I do not love warrior. Love is fleeting, temporary, impermanent. It is an emotion as much defined by its duality as it is itself. For something so ungrounded and so inconsistent, it is an unworthy descriptor of Warrior. For warrior is the one who persists.
When the fear of death spread through a city besieged, where is love then? And when armies march upon each other with rage filling their heart, where is love? When gods bring a rain of fire down upon the heathens who have forsaken the true path, do you think they are filled with love still? Tell me, when the last bits of energy are drained from the universe, and the icy claws of the heat death sink in to issue the final blow, where is love?

Yet this is where warrior resides. In the city besieged, warrior is liberated from the shackles of the folly of ordinary men and set upon the enemy like a starved beast being set upon a pasture of lambs. When armies march, it is warrior who stands above them to judge the worthiness of their deaths. When gods come to smite lesser mortals, it is warrior who thrusts his sword up towards the belly of the gods, refusing to succumb. And yes, when the universe’s last light is extinguished, it’s final whimper heard, warrior is the one who shall hear it as warrior fights back against the final enemy of unstoppable darkness and cold. 

No. Love is a thing far beneath the likes of warrior. Warrior is Pride, for Pride persists, despite reason or rationality. Warrior is Wrath, for Wrath does not depend on a counterpart to affirm its existence. Warrior is Hope, for Hope is the thing that shall fight back against even the greatest of odds, the most unsinkable of circumstances.

I was wondering if you will drop something here :D

Of course, my warrior brother. We must spread the way, far and wide. 

[Gibson.4036]

Holosmith and Mirage.

[kharmin.7683]

Ranger.  Always.  I play ranger main in just about every game, included table top games like D&D and such.  Ranger has been in my blood since my first D&D character back in 1979.

[Crunchbone.7341]

I levelled ranger, necro, guardian, mesmer, & engineer to 80. The Guardian & Engineer are very strong, I have trouble with Mesmer play, but Reaper and Core Ranger are where my heart is.

 

When I log onto Ranger or Reaper, I forget that I am playing a game, which, for me is the best way to play :)

[Grand Marshal.4098]

Warr. 

Current status quo forced me to convert to anything with more mobility. 

Despite that, the game is barely fun anymore so I always return for that warrior itch till I get my kitten handed. 

[Kaladel.1670]

The awesome posts about warriors are almost convincing me to dust of my old Warr and come back from the nice parking it is sitting on. Maybe 2-30 more and... (what, I enjoy reading them 😆)

In all seriousness, I fell for core engineer while I was leveling one to see what the appeal of mechanist was. I still have more fond memories of core than I have of mech and sincerely hope Anet doesn't nerf a very interesting profession in the process of bringing mech down.
