Character classes you hate

[The_Lost_King]

The Warrior..... i don't know it always feels like such a bland class. coming from a Lvl 36 warrior Tauren

i never found a ability that was like 'damm thats awesome'. Druids can turn into a BEAR nuff said

Yes and the bear is a watered down warrior. I never like Bear form. I always prefered cat form even though they are watered down rogues. I loved the concept of turning into a bear but the execution was boring.

My least favorite class has to warriors. The only reason I have a warrior in WoW is because they can Dual Wield TWO HANDED SWORDS. Other than that the warriors are boring. In DA:O why be a warrior when I can be an arcane warrior, flinging around spells and then charging into battle. The warrior is just so bland and boring.

Captcha: Car trouble. *sigh* I wish I had a car.

Generally paladins/ranger. Which is odd, considering that in GW2, I keep making new characters and playing alts but the ones that stuck with me the most and I've levelled the furthest are my ranger and guardian :/

God do i hate Monks. Well... actually i love monks but so does everyone else and every time they are in a game they are just so stupidly overpowered, cause everyone loves to laugh at the robe wearing skinny guy that destroys the full plate battleaxe bad ass.

I don't see why everyone is so down on warriors, sure they don't have all the fancy skills or amazing abilities, but to me there are few things more fun than when your rogue is making a plan and trying to be sneaky and i just say screw it and scream "LEROY JENKINS!!!!!!!!!!!!" and bust down a door with my face.

I never liked running a magic user in D&D

OT: Dual-wielding rangers. I heard somewhere that the dual-wielding thing was implemented after Drizzt became popular, but that's not why it annoys me. It annoys me because character classes are based on archetypes. A ranger brings to mind a bow-and-arrow guy who feels at home in the woods. You know, kinda like Robin Hood. And the melee weapon he's associated with is a staff. OK, someone else? Aragorn. He wields a sword. OK, he dual-wields torches in that one-sentence scene in Fellowship, but that doesn't feel enough to base a defining class trait on.

So OK, I can't explain rationally why it bugs me so much. But it does.

I prefer the Ranger's from the Ranger's Apprentice novels myself. Generally use bow and arrow with high stealth and woodsman skills. If they have to get into close range, they've got a throwing dagger and a saxe knife.

Class I tend to not care about is... Hmm, no class in particular annoys me, but I guess that's cause I can generally get into the mood to play them.

I hate Mages of all kinds because they're always, always, ALWAYS retardedly broken and often become the only way to play the game when the difficulty ramps up. Well, I hate ranged classes in general, but Mages really take the cake.

Example: In Torchlight 2, I have a very tanky Engineer. I mean, every single point of everything went into becoming a tank. I have since learned that in NG+4, even on Casual every single enemy in the entire game can and will one shot you regardless of your build and you can only respec your last three skillpoints. Also, defense is capped REALLY low so it's pointless raising those stats anyway. So right off the bat, melee is fucked. Same thing happened in Dark Souls- Tank was unviable in playthrough 2 and completely unplayable beyond that. I fucking hate that so goddamn much.

It happens in table top RPGs, too. End-game Warriors can chop real good. End-game Wizards can slay Gods, absorb their power, and then go on to become an omnipotent Being that rules over all of everything forever.

'A Mage's weakness is that they can only wear cloth armor and have no defense!' Well, good job giving them a fuckin' magic barrier which protects them better than an actual suit of armor with zero incomberance and can summon armies of the damned to fight for them.

-Monks

Before you ask, yes, MOP is the reason I'm bringing this up, but it applies to monks in most other games as well (like, for example, D&D and the computer games derived from it).

Now then; Monks. I really hate them. Your typical roleplaying monk is a guy who specializes in unarmoured, unarmed combat. The reason I hate this is that monks routinely go up against well-trained guys with weapons specifically designed for killing people, and win. Not only that, but oftentimes (especially in D&D) the monk makes a better fighter than the plate-armoured axe-wielding death machine! That's... just... so... stupid.

It tends to get a bit less stupid when you realise this archetype is based on people who have dedicated their entire life to martial arts. Being a plate-armoured axe-wielding death machine suddenly counts for a lot less if you're up against a guy who has been training 8 hours a day for the last twenty years.

OT: Paladins. Holier-than-thou self-righteous circle-jerking dipshits. Admittedly, my dislike was excarbated by WoW, where for my rogue paladins were supremely annoying: not very threatening, but you had to kill them three times over.

 

[Thanatos5150]

Hey, now! When I Nova!Guard, I'm a team player. I lock down one group of enemies so you three can focus on the other group. And I generally Charge->Nova my way up to you, Mister Downed Man, in order to clear the field and revive you.

Yeah maybe once. The rest of the time you :-

Make the screen shake and send blue shit flying everywhere.

Steal kills by teleporting in front of the person who did all the damage and absorb their bullets.

Charge off to somewhere like a kill zone and need to be rescued.

Charge out of hack zones and escort droid zones, lengthening the time it takes.

Can never be bothered to recover objects because you are too busy flying about being a nob.

I have nothing against you individually (hell you may even be the one none scumbag vanguard out there) but the above list is just what Vanguards do. Don't try to convince me otherwise I have played many games and unlocked least 80% of the stuff, and this is how all vanguards, I had the misfortune to encounter are.
Period.

Trust me, I feel your pain. When I still had Gold, I mained Infiltrators. There is nothing more annoying than an incompetent Vanguard spoiling your line of sight, or absorbing a critical shot with the charging shenanigans before zipping off into a situation they can't handle and screaming into the headset for a heal.
That's why I specifically play by myself when I go Vanguard, trying very, very hard to lock down just one zone so my buddies don't get frustrated - and I don't bite off more than I can chew.
As for hack zones... it's more "I'm useless when hiding behind cover, so I may as well keep my buddies who excel behind cover safe." than "ZOMG! Killz!"
Also: I lost my Gold sub before Escorts became a thing, so I don't have a Nova!Guard strategy for that.

Anybody who's trying to be a Nova!Guard and is carrying anything but a SMG with Utra-light Materials on it is doing it wrong.

Fair enough bro fair enough. My apologise I thought I was talking with someone who almost exclusively did Vanguards and was bracing myself for "Your just jealous" or "Your just bad at the game".

I now feel like a bit of a hypocrite because since we last commented I unlocked a Krogan Vanguard. I couldn't help myself Krogans are my 2nd favourite Mass Effect Alien, I had to try him out. I had never used Vanguards up till then, they are really fun to play as but christ you feel like a douche, when you biotic charge into the grunt enemies with low health, then realise whoever injured him was just about to finish him off.

As for hack zones I had a geth plasma shotgun, since I had no offensive biotics other than charge. This let me stay in cover and blast enemies, so I did not feel like a nuisance then at least.

I see why people play as vanguards but they can be annoying when played by a person who just does not give a sh*t. Also I wish Bioware had made the Biotic charge not affect everyone elses screen and less of a visual disturbance, would be nice as well.

 

[Blunderboy]

Monks. I really hate them.

Wololo.

OT - Well it really varies on the game. I tend to avoid full on magic. I find it a tad boring generally.
