Favorite MMO Class... EVER!

Dhaenon

Hey all,

 

My all time favorite class from any MMO I have ever played (and I have played A LOT) was the Vampiir from DAOC. I am still looking for a game that has a class with the same playstyle. Any ideas?

 

What is your favorite MMO Class... EVER?!

WoW enhancement shaman. Coolest battlemage ever.  Pretty much why I keep going back to wow. I love my enhancement shaman.

Warrior in WoW.  I don't like all of the changes they've done the past few years, but back in the day, the warrior was my favourite class of any game.  I was in love with the charge ability, fearing people off, then mashing them up with my huge axe.  Tanking in Molten Core was awesome too.  Just an all round amazing class.

Lord Knight in Ragnarok Online. I had so much fun with that class. I could go from tanking, to dishing out massive AoE damage, to doing crazy single-target damage with 5 attacks per second... yes, five attacks per second.

Not really a class as its a build, but Pikeman/TKA/Doctor in SWG (pre-NGE).

Adamantine

I have no clear favorite. I loved especially:

- Shillien Elder in Lineage 2

- Tyrant in Lineage 2

- Necromancer in Lineage 2

- Blood Mage in Vanguard

- Dread Knight in Vanguard

- Disciple in Vanguard

But both games have a lot of great classes to choose from. Or, in case of L2, HAD, because now all the rich L2 classes are getting forcemapped to 8 base classes if you're high enough.

Rogue..... in Vanilla wow, being my first mmo may had something to do with that.

Warlock..... in Vanilla wow.

Cleric...... in D&D Online back in it's day before F2P.  Others loved my healing and I felt like someone

omho the best classes ever where the following:

 

Tactician in Asheron's call 2

Disciple in vanguard

But even more fun then any class was my GM fencer who could use magic to teleport through the world in Ultima Online back in the days.....you just made you own class (i still miss my GM fighing lady who used magic to battle sea serpents and stuff at sea).

 

Leucent

DAOC Thane.

Everquest 1 Beastlord

Having a melee class with a pet, being a hybrid between combat skills and magic, plus being wanted in groups, was a fantastic time.

 

Vanguard Dreadknight

Just love tanking whilst using a two-handed weapon and the whole concept works well, complete opposite of how a Paladin tanks.

 

Vanguard Necromancer

A pet that grows with you, looting body parts from mobs and grafting them onto the pet. The only thing that would've made this better is if the pet model changed depending on your grafts. Best Necromancer ever.

 

Forsaken World Bard

Whilst several MMOs let you create your own songs as a Bard, I just found the whimsical fantasy take on the Bard in FW to be really appealing with the twisting of the tunes on the fly great fun. Nothing was premade, you did it as you needed it and had to remember which order to play the notes in to get the effect you wanted.

REDMAGE/NINJA  (FFXI) best solo class in pre-abyssea! Loved those forever Genbu fights!

Raiyu_Defied

Witch Elf / Witch Hunter from WAR.

 

Probably the best I've ever seen stealth classes done in a game and both were exetremely fun.

UO Pre-Age of shadows Tamer was great fun. Both PVP/PVE

yeah, forgot about those......i used to play a tamer/provoker.....mega fun too

 

UsualSuspect

Probably the EverQuest monk. I liked the whole pulling idea, using sneak, feign death, line of sight and other tricks to pull a single mob out of a group. When that extended to places like Trakanons cave it got quite scary exciting. That and the DPS it could pump out made it s fun class to play.

Novusod

Everquest 2 Bruiser. The idea of a martial artist tank is the best concept for class ever designed.

 

Vindictus Lann. The skill and complexity of this class is off the charts.

Kothoses

Rift - Chloromancer

WoW - Rogue

SWTOR Jedi Sentinel

FF Online - Thief or Dark Knight 

Warhammer - Engineer

 

All of the above are genuine fun and enjoyable classes... but my overall winner 

 

The Sentinel... Forceleap man.. you just dont get more enjoyment out of one attack than that...

Also Shadowbane Centaur Druid was so much fun for chasing down ppl with, using roots and stuff.

KenFisher

WoW's Druid was my favorite in Vanilla and BC.  Tank, melee DPS, caster DPS, and heals in one package, just carry 4 sets of gear.

 

Sadly, last time I played one it had been nerfed into oblivion.

Ramanadjinn

bright wizard from WAR.

a class so powerful it killed a whole game.

Mesmer from Guild Wars, it is not a MMO, but it is the most awesome class I've ever seen. I was pretty bad playing it, though, but that's a different story...

ikarrian

Too true...

Tonin109

Battle Priest (Knight Online)

Mesmer (GW1-2)

Angzt

DAoC, bonedancer.

but only since NWN was no mmo :P

mindrazor

Warrior Priest--Warhammer Online

Disciple of Khaine--Warhammer Online

Cleric--Aion

Affliction Warlock--BC Era WoW

Lore-Master--LOTRO

Good times on all of these and at certain times my favorite. I suppose that if I had to pick one over all the others, it would have to be the BC era Affli-Lock. The game was in what can arguably be described as its finest state at that time and I was truly enjoying myself . It  was so much fun to be in BGs with a true dot/CC class wearing light armor and trying to slowly wear down the enemy as you did your best to keep them away from you.  I'd love to find that again! It clearly can't be found in the dying behemoth...

Mesmer from GW1
