Rank Your Favorite Current Classes

As the title states, I am curious to see how everyone would rank the current classes, in order of most favored to least liked. Please, no future classes (like the coming Oathbound Paladin, or a class you "want" to see, like Druid). Maybe this could be fun!
For me, it would be:
1. TR (main)
2. CW (back-up)
3. HR (back-up)
4. DC (mule now)
5. SW (mule now)
6. GWF (mule now)
7. GF (mule now)
Remember, there is no "wrong" ranking - just personal preferences.

SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! (repeat indefinitely)

looomis said, "I don't like people changing to alts and then bragging about their mains like schizophrenic role players."

2-4.) CW (SpSTh), HR (SWArch), TR (MIX) - Co-mains on rota - I love this game for its variety.
5.) SW (HBTemp) - Has been a blast but now only gets out for the occasional dungeon run as healer.
6.) GWF (SMDest) - nowadays at rest, but has been good fun in Mod 2 & 3, when Unstoppable meant what the word says...
7.) GF (IV, not refeated since revamp) - no, not my style.
One thing that keeps me going in this game is that the tactics and game mechanics really differ between the classes. In almost all other games, after three or four months it went stale, and after 6 months "nuff's'nuff! => next game". Not here, after 16 months...
1. DC , AC build, Righteous.(might be moving back to DO, virt or faithful for mod 6)
2. CW, Spellstorm, Thaum (going to renegade in mod 6)
3. GWF, Iron Vanguard, Sent (soon to be destroyer again)
4. HR, Pathfinder, Combat (I still hope it comes back, I used to love the HR..) (moving to trapper.)
5. SW, Hellbringer , fury (soon to be soulbinder)
6. TR, MI, executioner (they made this class really fun, but I just dont have the time to get it where it needs to be.
7. GF, Swordmaster, conqueror (honestly just so I could do dailies a bit faster.. omg poeple, how you play this class on a regular basis is beyond me.
then many subalts, who get rolled into stuff from time to time.
I will roll a paladin as well, I will wait and see how it plays for me.
80 % of them will play CW as main
10 % of them will play TR
7 % of them will play DC
2 % HR
1 % GWF
0 % SW
0 % GF
0 % Paladin
2 CW - for times when I want to move a bit faster
2. SW, I might be slightly masochistic, but I actually enjoy playing as my SW in PvP.
3. GWF/TR, being able to run around quickly is one of my favourite things. Decent damage helps too.
4. CW, sheer damage is entertaining for a while, but permanently controlling enemies just isn't the thing for me.
5. GF/DC, Supporting roles just aren't quite the thing for me.
Complete:
- The Monk - http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?865991-The-Monk-A-Relatively-Detailed-Proposal-for-a-New-Class
Under Work:
- The Primal Totemist
- The Wild Sorcerer
- The Summoning Binder
I like my tr too but i would like it more if it was tough as a combar hr with a more use of stealth as utility and not core mechanic.
Edit: the old combat hr, not the subpar imitation we have now
The only class I really dislike is GWF. I managed to level one to 60 but I just can't get into it. It's the one class I don't enjoy playing. I guess it's the whole idea of being a mindless punching bag that needs to get hurt to survive rubs me wrong. It's like a meat headed HAMSTER with an over sized weapon as a means of compensation.
Conq GF Secondary
Actually play at times:
CW if nobody else wants to
TR for low level (non-twinked) PVP
GWF all the way.I like my meat headed HAMSTER
TR/HR/GF are ok,I like to play them sometimes
CW/DC/SW I just dont like,I have them on 60 and in t2's,but i just dont like 'em
2) HR
3) SW
No opinion on the others, since I don't play them, never played them.
...patience, young padawan.
Roll one, play him/her to Level 11 - and leadership XP do the rest.
I recommend getting them out every now and then, to get a) a feel for the mechanics, and b) the clockwork tower bag :^)
...was explicitly excluded by the OP:
That old combat hr, was my second favorite class behind the DC. It was so fun in so many ways! I stripped mine and it sits in a campfire now.
TR
SW
GF
HR
GWF
If SW were were pvp viable the class would be #1 on my list.
2. TR (WK + MI) and (increasingly) DC (AC)
3. HR (SW - PF just sucked)
4. GWF (SM) and SW (HB)
It's not so much the levelling to 60, its doing the boons, refining and gearing up.
Righteous DC
If they gave him his AoE damage back, Destroyer GWF would be back to #2
My Combat HR and Exe TR were fun to level, but I don't care much for them in group play
My GF takes way too long to get anything done, and my fingers don't like hitting Shift.
Also have a SW, but he's only in his 30s, and I really don't feel like playing him.
With a GWF and GF I don't play, I have no interest in a Pally
1. DC (my main)
2. GF (my second made character, quasi co-main)
3. TR
4. CW
5. GWF
6. HR
7. SW
2) Guardian Fighter: Simply because it's underdog, and its burst quality is greatly underestimated. The class' definition itself is noble.
3) Great Weapon Fighter: It's HAMSTER, and has a nice tab power.. breaking free of CC is so important in this game's PVP. It has an imposing presence (Well.. used to have).
4) Hunter Ranger: Really hyper class, I find myself moving, jumping, dodging around with this class more often than the rest. Really fast-paced.
5) Scourge Warlock: Interesting spells, nice visual animations, pretty sure this class is going to be very strong one day. What attracted me to it was the Shadow Slip.
6) Trickster Rogue: Whenever I'm bored and want to HAMSTER people off, I take this class into PVP. If this was mod 1-4 rogue it would rank higher. But now it's just.... yeah.
7) Devoted Cleric: Really boring class to play IMO. It doesn't have any presence for a class that has divine help.
One of the many Control Wizards that misses Shard Of The Endless Avalanche. RIP Shard (Beta-Mod3)
2. Righteous pvp DC
Only pvp DC...
It's what I am playing pre-Mod 6 and post-Mod 6.
Why?
Because I like killing things dead. :cool:
Boons... ...yeah. That is either plain expensive or drab, boring work. Gearing: Will become easier (AritWeap&OffHand from Quest...) + AH. Also, >50% (12 of 19) of my 60s aren't geared. But - they have unlocked that ninth profession slot. :^D
2. DC right-AC; good support, buff
3. GF tac-IV; good support, buff, tank, DR-giver
4. TR (pvp fun)
5. GWF good offtank; easy to play; if I am tired or after 10pm its my favourite
6. SW its an arcane spellcaster too indeed but well its just a hobby of mine
paladin: would really love its pretty good buffs to see in action but already has a buffer DC/GF
2 tr second main
3 dc third main
4 sw every now and again i play it.but im big in pvp so this class doesnt suite well.
5cw rarely play. just not my class. more of a leadership farm.
My 13 strong, army of Warlocks agree. :cool:
.
1) GF - my main since mod4, beloved unkillable monster.
2) GWF - second in command, currently working on him, i like him prolly coz i always wanted drow warrior, may become my main, but i dont think so. tho i spend more time on him than on gf right now, that's coz my gf is a perfect toon, so i just need to do some dung or two on him. ;p
3) TR - hard to say why i lost intrest in her, she was my main for 2 first mods, i guess i dont like how squishy she can be when i make one mistake, even with her monsterious dmg i cant carry whole party of weaklings on her while my gf can do it with ease. Also i didnt invest in her so much i invested in gf and gwf.
4) CW - easy to play, thats why, quite decent with no big manies involved.
5) HR - my main for mod3, loved her in pvp, but it ended as it is, here end's list of toons i acctualy invested somthing in, she was good and still is, i think i lost intrest in her coz nobody on lfg rly wanted 17k hr in party, so this toon became hard for me to have fun.
6) DC - didnt invest much, just 13k dc, but playing as support is nice from time to time.
7) SW - just could not like this class.
Cheers
(Sin)cerely

2. SW - I have both Fury and Templock. I'm not a pvper, so that weakness doesn't bother me, and I just really enjoy the powers because of the skill needed to maximize their results (Dreadtheft, TT).
3. CW - Easy-mode, great on packs of minions and will be better at single targets in Mod 6. My only complaint is especially in Mod 6 the devs are forcing you to play chilling powers to maximize your dps. I have a lightning-themed CW who is visually very pleasing, but she is definitely gimped compared to chill-focused CW.
4. GWF - Sometimes I just want to get in bad guys' faces and whack them with a really big axe.
5. HR - I've been playing mine as Archer, which is getting a little stale. Switching to Trapper in Mod 6, using the forced respec, and she should be more fun.
6. GF - dislike the slow movement, and when I leveled her GFs had pretty abysmal damage - and I never like playing main tank. Might dust her off in Mod 6.
7. TR - just don't like the gameplay, so she will remain my Leatherworker and probably never leave the Protector's Garden.
