    My opinion: At the current build, Rogue and Wizard are favourites, as they seem to be the most fluid in playstyle, which is exactly what the gameplay encourages. The two fighters are probably a tie, with GF having the lead at lower levels, but if people stick to GWF until at least level 20, they will start having fun with it as well. Clerics are just broken, low heals!!! (and why else would anyone want to play clerics?), aggro crazy with only average damage.

    I saw mostly guardian fighters, great weapon fighters and wizards during weekend. Those two followed by Rogue and I think I saw one or two player clerics.

    Guardian Fighters more common on low levels while GWF and rogues occasional sight around 20s. Wizards are all over so I picked wizard.

    the Group finder was realy slow cuz most people already play a dps/support class, if you went to the tower district for Cloak tower dungeon, you saw 7 out of 10 LFG shouts in that zone where Rogue or wizard.

    in the que i'd end up with me playing my rogue and 2 other rogues lol. Rogues are just too awesome not to play now, more variety in classes will thin that out though. Such as Ranger and Evocation style wizard.

    Im playing cleric and found out that their ae damage capability is actually very good. Heals arent supposed to be OP anyways, but from my opinion they do their job. Also note that every melee should pick cleric companion and cleric should pick guardian... Only one thing that bothers me is that at early lvl 16 dungeon, cleric pulls too much aggro. You dont even get the aggro reduce before lvl 18 or something, wich is absolutely nescessary for any group based quest.

    Therr has to be a way to reduce aggro earlier, and guardians/two handed fighters need to have more effective taunts.

    my healing companion with my rogue always draws aggro, i could be ripping holes in their health bar and still can't get the aggro off her when she does one heal.... ONE OF THESE THINGS JUST DOESN'T BELONG HERE LOL

    I know, without even having to look at the poll, or the conversations, that it's trickster rogue. People like ninjas, rogue is the closest to a ninja. People like pirates, rogue is the closest to a pirate.

    It is kind of hard to judge the most played class by these betas since most of the people are just testing the classes out, but in my opinion "Great Weapon Fighter" is going to be a highly played class. Just because of the nice aoe all the time (still in my opinion) and seems the be quite easy to grasp the skills on since beginning of the game.

    I, myself, played quite a bit of both "Control Wizard" and "Great Weapon Fighter" and both of those seemed to be quite useful in their own way. GWF being the AoE basher and CW handeling the single targets and keeping those in control.
    Do or do not, there is no try.

    Me can full heal competent rogues in about 10-20 seconds & maintain competent CWs at full hp perpetually at level 23.
    How is that not useful?
    ('-')

    In case you were wondering, me has specced for battle heals.

    great avatar pic jezet, one of the best anime's of all time is Elfen Lied, but honestly i'd play the GWF more when they fix dmg and hitboxes for them, there is no way as my rogue i should overall pwn the GWF in every group i've played with them, they should out dmg me by at least 20-25% which it seems its opposite atm.

    Well, GF seemed like the least played.
    Saw a metric ton of CWs & GWFs at lower levels.
    Saw a ton of Rogues all around....

    Clerics seemed to be encountered in groups though, that was odd.
    Me would say Rogues were the most played.

    Devoted cleric: Because your both the groups tank and healer!

    what? that's not intended...?
    All kidding aside love the class and have played it since I've been able too.

    I saw more GWF this beta than any other class, but its because its the new class and people are checking it out. I imagine on launch it will be GWF and Rogue that are the most played, because they have less responsibility in groups.

    I ended up playing the Rogue more often. Partly for the stealth, mostly for the single-target DPS potential. Pick my fights right and I could mow through everything in PvE without needing to use potions between rest zones. In a party with my guildmates (from STO) this became an even faster steamroll with some CW's and Clerics around and a GF for tanking.

    Tried the GWF and while I liked its PBAOE, it required way too much potion chugging for my taste. I see that this encourages the player to go through the PvE content in a party with at least one healer, but it needs more work such as a little more survivability (less potion spamming plz, they're expensive!).

    ...? But I was picking my fights and I chuged potions all the time. Oh...wait...you were going after the softer targets, weren't you?

    I like taking on the big things. Even in a party I'll go venture ahead a little (especially if everyone is fighting small things), find the biggest baddest looking monster and stab him in the back. Then do everything I can to stay alive while clearing as many adds as possible. Surprisingly I live through this.

    Yes I was. I had to think like an Assassin when I had to solo some quests. This meant doing what I could to avoid the harder hitting mobs and pick on the small fries first so they wouldn't get in the way when I inevitably attack the big boys. And for that I always started off by using the knife throwing at-will power to draw the small fries away and anything that was part of their NPC group.

    In a party I could afford to play the crazy lunatic and charge in head first. Having a Devout Cleric or CW and a GF or two made the "kill everything in sight like a psychopath" much easier. Even then I have to use a little tactics to make sure I save some fun for the rest of my party (and so I don't bite off more than I can chew). But this is a double-edged sword.

    One time in BW3 I was doing a 3-player team for the level 18-ish spellplague quest and my party ditched for sleep (it was past 2 AM) and I had to kill those mobs alone. Boy that was a lot of ugly plague warped critters. The one time I had to chug potions like a madman as a Rogue.
