Generally speaking, some mmorpg games have many classes for people to make a choice.
At least, 3-5 classes.
Some of them belong to Physical Attack,eg,killer,warrior etc.
Some of them belong to Magical Attack,mage,mancer.
Even both of them have Physical Attack and Magical Attack.
What do you think paladin belong to? Magical or Physical?

And I ranged. Ie. archers hunter
...but the most interesting class I've ever played was AoC's herald of Xolti. Short range no armor high dps great sword wielding Mage.
No matter how cynical you become, its never enough to keep up - Lily Tomlin
Archer (without pets!)
Can't stand having some pet follow me, and do half of my total damage..
Archers are great, hunters are bad.
If an MMO does not have Archer without pets I usually go for the class I use in Single player RPG's
Melee 2H swords, or dualwield.
heals or support - my alt would be magic dps
There are people who play games and then there are gamers.

Healer all the way, not always the best at it but I like to support people:
Wow: Paladin (80), Priest (80), Druid (75)
Planetside 2: combat medic
SWTOR: I am going to play a jedi counselor
Raider Z: Cleric/ berzerker
GW1: Monk
Fallen Earth: A medic type character
Tera: Mystic and priest
Firefall: Medic (Or biotech forgot the name of that.)
And lots of other games I cant think of right now.
I loved playing support classes. I like being needed by a group and helping others.
However its harder to do that now. Most of the new MMO are basically single-player games. People solo and usually only work with others in end game instances.
As a result I don't really enjoy the newer games as much. I don't play an MMO so I can be in my own shell....there are single player RPG for that.
This isn't a signature, you just think it is.
Hybrid.
Most no tably, World of Warcraft DRUID. Been playing one since Vanilla and it still delivers. I use it to heal, tank, phy dps, magic dps, everything really.

Hybrid... preferably one with support skills (cc buffs debuffs) although they tend to be useless these days.
Exact same for me...I hate ranged pet classes.
Usually something melee, either tank or DPS.
That or a class with pets if the mechanics behind them are interesting enough (like City of Villains' Masterminds, or Diablo 2's Necromancers)
My SWTOR referral link for those wanting to give the game a try. (Newbies get a welcome package while returning players get a few account upgrades to help with their preferred status.)

For me its all about choice.
I like all the classes, all i want is a game where you can hybrid your own build from all the available skills.
So you get a pool of points and you custom your class, sure there are premade ones, but freedom!
anyway just my 2cents.
P.S. And I know this is what happens in TSW, I play and love that, but i want a fantasy game like that
the game that gets it done the closest to what i want is POE
Love the POE devs, I think they are not human :P
