Poll/discussion---Spellcaster, Melee, Ranged?

in The Pub at MMORPG.COM

I seem to go for the spellcaster races, and magical beings, i might go to melee at the beginning just to get used to the game

which do you go for in a game? image

Or do you go for the human races that have equal ability in most skills?

    Melee for me. I like to be where the action is at::=^)::

    I like playing a rogue, which is a bit of a mix of all them. Otherwise, the only class I dont generally play is a warrior type, melee generally isnt for me ::::28::

    What i meant by human was a Hybrid

    Spellcasters excel in magic

    Melee excel in hand to hand and using weapons

    Ranged excel in bows and crossbows and the like

    humans have slightly less...equal skills in all of these, but not as much as others ( hybrid )

    Melee class with fastest paced combat and most damage. If a melee/nuker has really good damage, I will play that class. If rogues are VERY fast and damaging then I will play that. If a pure melee does alot of damage and has good HP, then I will play that. Occasionally I play a paladin in a game, but they dont hold my interests as long as other classes. I hate any class that is equal in all skills, like druids in WoW. Decent melee, decent heals, decent buffs...

    I like melee cuz i love to be right in the thick of things. only down side is it seems there are a ton of melee players out there and some times I find it hard to find a group that needs a melee char.

    If you want a free and fun mmorpg to play check out www.ogreisland.com
    My char is MelkorARV feel free to ask me for some help if you need it.

    I love the way bows are held, n sometimes guns (guns look really cool in some games, crappy in others). I like being able to hit n run, using tactics like traps n powerful skills to kill enemies before they get near me ^^ I also like the idea of pets fighting by my side, n if I can get both of those in a game, then GREAT! (WoW Hunter :o)

    Im not so much a mage player, becuz theyre usually REALLY weak against physical attacks, usually don have any way of protecting themselves (such as traps for bowers), n they usually have long spell casting time, n long downtime (becuz they depend on MP).

    Im DEFINETLY not melee, I hate tanking with a passion. Donno wat it is, but getting hit jus irritates the hell outa me :S

    In every game I have played with the option Ive always gone for Paladin so its melee all the way for me, few times I'll get a spell or two to help me on the way though

    Dark times are coming!

    A mage is the type for me.  I love being able to attack from afar and seeing how cool the spells look!  "I just can't wait 2 be a mage"(singing 2 the lion king song)

    Every new MMO I pick up, I always make a healer type - City of Heroes I played a Defender, WoW Beta I played a Priest, Anarchy Online I played a Doctor, even in Planetside I got the medical skills before most of the other stuff.

    But if the class doesn't work for me, like I didn't enjoy how they played out in WoW, then I'll go for some fast melee type. Like in EverQuest my main was a Monk, and in WoW (after hating the priest) I played a Rogue.

    So I either like to be healing people - mainly because I like making new friends in MMO's, and being a healer generally makes you a wanted commodity - or being someone who can drop a mob in a few seconds.

    i prefer spellcasters because its generaly easier to solo with them. if i cant find a group i dont like feeling stuck.

    p.s orcc dude what happened to your old sig it rocked.

      Yep, Melee is for me too.. I hate being a jack-of-all-trades that is great at nothing. The Mystic arts looks appealing, but I'd rather smash a skull than shrink it. I'd go for the ground and pound technique(UFC style). image

    I bounce around alot. My friend also, and we usually pick classes that compliment each other. However, when i play without my friends, I'll take a healer(spellcaster) to switch things up. And, its way easy too find a group, you can be pretty choosy who you group with.

    I almost always goes for a highly soloable class.

     

    Thereby, I usually go for high dps melee in most games...or some casters(rarely the hardest nukers).

     

    If a class is extremely popular to get groups, I may go for it as well.

     

    If the class is popular to get a group and have some solo capabilities, I am in heaven(chanters in EQ).

     

    Melee, ranged or magic is a secondary aspect to me. :)

    I like the magic stuff in the games... it looks very cool the lasers and stuff image but there is very much action in the melee combats.. usually i have a char with magic stuff and melee..

    Gaming all day long, for my pleasure and so on..

    I strongly dislike the concept of classes in MMORPGs.  The concept is FAR too restrictive for my liking.  I much prefer a quality skill based MMORPG that does not artificially limit my character.  This then allows me to play the game as I prefer - with a mix of skills.  As far as I am concerned any MMORPG that restricts me via the mechanism of "classes" is a short lived game (for me) at best.
