    Totally agreed. Classes suck, give me a sandbox that isn't full of cat turds and i'm happy.

    Cabalist/Runemaster in Daoc - extremely tough to play, very high utility, and in 8v8 pvp every ability cast is a tough tactical decision. 

    Templar in EQ2 - funnest pve class I've ever played, and the only healing class I've ever liked. Very fun, and the funnest class in EQ2 in my opinion. 

    Stealth bomber in Wormhole combat in Eve Online - not really a class, but this "role" is my third favorite on the list. Empire pvp bores me to tears, but wormhole combat, which can be a very fun game of cat and mouse, and with so much effort going into the setup, really pays off and feels great to get a kill.

    Hrm...

    Fixer - AO

    Bard - EQ 

    Defilier - EQ2

    There are 3 types of people in the world.
    1.) Those who make things happen
    2.) Those who watch things happen
    3.) And those who wonder "What the %#*& just happened?!"

    No particular order...

    Shadowbane - nearly every class was memorable and fun to play because of the many possibilities when it came to customizing them. few off the top of my head that i enjoyed playing were assassin(mage or rogue), crusader, warrior(archer, blademaster), warlock(mage or high def), channelers(mage or healer), and the list goes on...

    Ultima Online - no classes but playing any variety of the available templates was fun. Archer/mage during that era. hally mage during precast. Mage after UO:R, lots of possibilities for speccing them. Thieves were a blast to play too.

    Guild Wars - Ritualist was really fun to play when they first came out and before I quit playing GW regularly. Could do great damage as well as keep yourself up under pressure or sit back and support your group. Mesmer was really fun too.

    Played other games but those are the games/classes that stand out to me.

    a) I loved Shaman from Eq1.  At least some was nostalgia factor because it was my first toon in an mmo.  I still remember fooling around for a hour or so to get the cannibilize macro figured out.   Later on  it was fun soloing raid bosses ^_^

     

    2) Necromancer from Guild Wars, I loved the casting animations and the idea of a legion of horrors as opposed to EQ's one pet.  I remember raising a bone horror from a bosses corpse and saying "you work for ME now" :]

     

    III) classes of ships count as mmo classes if they'refrom an mmo right?  Titans from eve.  the ship you begin with is in-game 12 or so meters long, the gallente titan is 14 KM from front to tip.  EVERY eve player remembers where/when they saw their first titan, close-up.  I remember being in eve university and a bunch of us all went out to 0.0 and begged some 0.0 corp to DD us just so we could see the animation hehehehehehe.

    1. Monk EQ1   -  Pulling will never exist at this level in any MMORPG, ever again.

    2. Ninja FFXI  -  Very difficult class to play well, very fun if you know what you're doing.

    3. Bard EQ1  -  Do I even need to say anything about this? So fun.

     

    As a matter of fact, if FFXIV doesn't shape up quickly, I'm probably going to go back to EQ1. Games just can't seem to get it right these days.

    1. Warlock - World of Warcraft

    2. Fixer - Anarchy Online

    3. Rogue Assassin - Shadowbane

    I miss the MMORPG genre. Will a developer ever make one again?

    1 - [Teras Kasi Master/ Master Doctor] -SWG PreNGE- TKM did truckloads of damage and on top of it had knockdown and stuns out the ass. When a TKM knocks you down the fight is pretty much over. Plus Master Doctor = free buffs and major heals.

     

    2 - [Hunter] -WoW- The Hunter is truly splendid class. The Hunter was my main on wow for all my .....long years... lol. All jokes aside. Hunters were extremely versatile. There is a skill for every situation and the damage I could put out topped the charts every time.

     

    3 - [Berserker] -Asherons Call 2- The Berserker was a Lugian class. They were an awesome melee DPS class. Dual weilding 2 swords, they had massive chain combos that would just wreak hell upon anything within close proximity. I loved it, damn I miss that game!

    Mage in WoW...

    Just thought this class was a ton of fun to play.. Mostly the ice mage, the CC was fantastic..

     

    Iron Breaker in War..

    Everything a tank should be in PvP.

     

    Macer in UO.

    By far my favorite, getting into a PvP fight and outlasting someone till i bashed all their armour off was pretty cool. I can't imagine the enjoyment i would get doing this to todays MMOers who covet gear over most everything : p

  • Mylan12Mylan12 Member UncommonPosts: 288

    (1) Bard from EQ1 - The best class ever in any game.

    (2) Minstrel from DAoC - an almost bard

    (3) Runekeeper -sort of hard for me to pick the 3rd one This class is as close as I can come to being a sith or jedi before SWtor comes out. hehe

  • SebaliSebali Member UncommonPosts: 395

    1-creature handler from SWG. still havent experienced anything as satisfying as going out into the wilderness and being able to tame almost any animal you come across and have it do your bidding

     

    2-druid-wow. I didnt really enjoy it till it got some loving after an expansion or 2, but i loved being able to do anything i wanted, be it tank, heal or dps.

     

    3-priest, wow. pre wolk. I loved being able to heal while dps'ing as a shadow spec'd priest. Vamp embrace and shields and we could do any normal boss

  • DrakynnDrakynn Member Posts: 2,030

    Beserker (DAoC) before the massive light tank nerf

    Ironbreakr(War)

    Burglar(LotRO) best rogue class in any MMORPG

     There was a ninja class in FFXI?

    WTH did I buy FFXIV or waste time with other MMO's the last cpl years?:)

  • AmbassadorDvinnAmbassadorDvinn Member UncommonPosts: 339

    1.  EQ1 Enchanter - Mysterious, powerful, and you had to be good to use them effectively.

    2.  EQ1 Bard - Well done and unique.  Great group members.

    3.  WoW Hunter - Blizzard did well with this long-ranged pet class.

    Honorable mention:  DAOC Thane - Seeing a huge lightning bolt shoot down from the sky and into my victim is a sight I'll never forget.

    Serious death penalties makes every close call an adrenaline rush, and every minor achievement a major victory. This alternative rule-set should be in all MMORPGs.

    Ninja was awesome, if you had the group to get the skills or money to buy them.  If you didn't it was a pain in the ass. still fun even as a pain in the ass.

     

    1. Ranger EQ1 - Was a class of real skill. I still carry my EQ ranger kiting skills with me to this day. My EQ ranger would whoop my WoW hunter's ass when comparing skill set vs skill set.

    2. Necromancer Guild Wars - My army of the dead cometh

    3. Katana/SR Scrapper in old CoH - I felt the best part was when we got over buffed and could pull a whole instance, then demolish all the mobs in about 10 to 20 minutes. OP? yes. Did I feel like a super hero instead of a regular hero? your damn straight.

  • junzo316junzo316 Member UncommonPosts: 1,712

    1) Fire/Kinetic Troller in CoH - It was kinda of weak when you first start out, but carries a bang at higher levels.

    2) Rune-Keeper in LotRO - You can do hella damage and heal too....sign me up.

    3) I hate to say it....Druid in WoW - I dislike the game, but love this class.  Was extremely fun to play.
