Favorite Class Type

Since every was universally disgusted at the stupid poll that was made with 3 choices, I thought I'd make a better one :)



I think it is a pretty good list being limited to 10 choices. I could extend it a bit =P



edit: yes! you can't edit typo's in a poll.. So now I look like a moron!

    I usually start out trying to play as some kind of gimp hybrid I can't balance correctly, then I play the tank class.

    Hahaha.. nicely put..



    I also forgot about archers in this, but for most purposes stealthers are going to encompass that.



    And about ranged DD? That would Offensive Caster, right?

    Nice poll, but I think just to add up, for me classes should be categorized

    based on their role:



    - melee damage dealer ( that can be offensive type of fighter)

    -ranged damage dealer ( that can be rogue,ranger, archer or something like that)

    -buffer/healer ( well that can be priest, cleric, etc etc

    -nuker ( that can be wizard or any mages with offensive magic skills)

    -tanks ( defensive type of fighter, usually knight class with heavy armor and shield)



    hopefully it helps

    Ranged all the way! Hybrids favoring fighter/healer would be my next choice.

    That would generally fall under Utility Caster..



    And to the other list of classes pointed out here, I can agree.. but that is too vague in a way.

    well if ranger isnt there then im leaving this thread    *turns back and walks through door* lol. anyway i voted stealther... my 2nd choice
  • smg77smg77 Member Posts: 672
    I *always* play a caster in games where I have a choice of class. I love the idea of the glass cannon--high damage with low survivability. I've never even started a melee character to see what it's like.



    The one thing I think is funny about playing casters is that I am smart enough to conjure devastation elemental magic and blast enemies with fireballs, lightning, etc but I can't figure out how to wear anything but kleenex as armor.

    I voted healer, but it really depence on the game and how the game set up the classes.

  • Keebs1984Keebs1984 Member Posts: 1,356
    I like to play the class that has the lowest population in the game, dunno why...thats just how it always ends up being. As a side note that usually means I am never a tank/warrior, and almost always a hybrid/healer.

    Eternally mine,

    The warrior and the skald in DAOC is my all time favorite :)
  • kordrialkordrial Member Posts: 160
    i've always always always loved the utility caster, who relies on crowd control, or DoTs, or pets, they seem more complex than other classes and i just have alot of fun with them

    Before I started WoW I played Monks.  I always thought it would be easier to play if I didn't have to worry about weapons and could stick to hand to hand.  Plus, I liked the idea of honing one's body to become a lethal weapon.

    Come to find out martial arts/monks usually become another easily replaced DPSer. 

    Now I usually play Support/Healer because I favor being useful in battle.  I also like healer because they often make or break a good group.  If some DPSer is a slack ass I can usually manage the prolonged fight.  If a healer is slack I can't do anything but try to CC as a DPSer.

    I always liked the hybrid fighters/support characters, just because they were the most challanging to play. I dislike damage dealers the most, because with a damager dealer its so easy just to coast through without having to worry about anything but killing your target.  Mages always felt far too easy to play; Yea they can't take hits, but they deal so much damage that its usually a non-issue aslong as you pay attention. Fighter DD's were to simple and straight forward, probably why they are usually very popular in any mmo; You pick a target, use your skills/attacks until its dead, pick a new one, while the luck of evasion decides whether you live or die. The most thought they take is usually when to make a speedy exit.



    My favorite all time class was probably the bladedancer from lineage 2; He could buff his party memebers but the buff only lasted 2 minutes, so you had to really pay attention. He delt respectable damage, but the challange came from using his magic debuffs/attacks in pvp. It took alot of skill to juggle his debuff skills to aid allies in grim situations, make sure your party was buffed, and actually killed enemies without getting rolled, because he didn't have the luck of evasion to save him.

    Depends alot on the game. I like characters that are complex to play, but make a real difference to a group if played well.



    In WoW that meant Warlock.



    I haven't played enough to be sure of my EQ2 class, but Swashbuckler looks good.

  • psyconiuspsyconius Member Posts: 272
    Cool, this is exactly the type of discussion I wanted to see.



    And my favorite class of all time so far is the Warden from DAoC. Any class with a jack of all trades feel has a better chance of keeping me interested longer =P

    FYI, you could make a post have one poll, and then have another post continue the poll.  Its not hard to add them together.

    WoW's Druid class (now that it's fixed):  good DPS in cat form, with stealth as well, for solo work (plus ability to heal oneself to limit downtime), and for groups, viable tanking in bear form, and -- with a switch of gear -- rather good group healing.



    Druids ftw!

    Where's the "I hate class-based games" option?

    In all fairness, I should have said "Favorite role." Even in a nonstandard, skill based system, you will likely be playing a character like one that exists in a set system.



    And if you have class based games, I feel bad for you. There are so few true skill/attribute based games out there. Wish was going to be a great game, but the axe of financial reality slayed that one.

    I assumed crowd control fell under utility casting... I always migrate towards crowd control toons :)
