I would have added "you play the most in WvW", but @Xenesis.6389 knows how nit picky I am about the wording in his questionnaires 😉

I mean I did start the question off with "WvW Players"... 🤭

HoT was amazing expansion regarding specs. PoF was so lackluster in comparison

I enjoy losing to every other class on Reaper.

[cyberzombie.7348]

Sword/staff daredevil is probably my most played class of all time.

When looking at challenge level, map design and especs, I would give it BiS. Only time really looked to PvE it was HoT. Only one to revisit if not WvWing is HoT.

Total hours for me, of those specs, is probably still scrapper.  But, I have been maining tempest in wvw since EoD dropped.

Currently, or total hours? Because the answer is different depending on the criteria.

Either way, currently if you're playing one, or total if you're no longer playing a HoT one.

I admit 7 of my WvW builds that I play are HoT. That doesn't mean I am good with them but I like the gameplay enough they retain spots and are rotated depending on the mood or need of the day. Berserker remains the, ok you got me grumpy, go to toons for fighting while outnumbered since they work well as a roamer, havoc or zerg build all at the same time. Course that is IMO as I have map chatted with people that just call them kitten.

the running total from all the polls core/hot/pof/eod

Guardian 6+6+11+5 = 28

Revenant 1+9+8+7 = 25

Warrior 8+5+5+3 = 21

Engineer 7+9+2+6 = 24

Ranger 1+3+14+5 = 23

Thief 3+7+2+2 = 14

Elementalist 1+16+9+8 = 34

Mesmer 2+6+2+5 = 15

Necromancer 4+12+6+7 = 29

[Gorani.7205]

Even with the low numbers of entries in all the polls, I think the HoT poll is pretty spot on about the professions I encounter in game (mostly roaming). The spread isn't too big and Druid being the "least" visible of the HoT profession at the time of posting is probably due to the dominance of the Soulbeast from PoF.

The global numbers posted by @Xenesis.6389 illustrate to me, that Guardian over all is in a good spot and Tempest is still good while being the least "piano prodigy" spec of Elementalist (a view that I share too).
