Poll: Mage, Archer, or Warrior

[RoyalStranger]

I'm not really a fan of tanking, so I prefer attacking from afar. 90% of the time I'll choose archer. (I would actually love if more games had Hunters where you can have a pet to hold aggro)

 

[CrashTestZombie]

I have a question:

Does the lvl 500 Ancient Silver Bow +10 with Fire Damage do anything more than 1 damage each hit?

Whenever I try archer I have to turn my enemies into a freaking pincushion before they die. Most pointless weapons ever.

Yeah, but in real life, I'm pretty sure you'd be incapacitated/dead if you were hit by an arrow.

But yeah, I hate it when games do that.

Archer, both in games and IRL. A good compound bow and a quiver of broad heads is my zombie survival plan.

 

[Quadtrix]

Warrior, since I don't like having to worry about ammo and things like that.

 

[A random person]

As much as I like magic I don't find myself using it that much in RPG's. I went with archer since I find a certain satisfaction in headshots from a distance.

Also, I get the feeling that NeutralDrow will choose Archer for reasons obvious to him and me.

 

[brutus3933]

In absolutely any game that ever gave me the choice to do so, I always go WoW-style rogue. Daggers, poison, light armor, and stealth. In Fallout3, however, I'm just that short guy that hangs out with Fawkes

 

[sabotstarr]

archer. If good you can kill many fast, and still have no damage for the long one. Also i am for the pure classes, but with slight amounts of variation. so kinda hypocritical.

 

[Ghost-0037]

It has to be the warrior I don't know why but cutting your way through a slew of enemies while stomping on their entrails and teabagging their mothers seems satisfying to me in a sick sort of way

I'll play a Mage, but not any mage: give me a debuffer. A Mesmer in GW. Let the rest of my team worry about your health going to zero, I want to make your Mana hit rock bottom, I want to watch you suffer every time you so much as move or stay still, I want you to take 30% of your health in damage for every spell you cast, make you slower than a turtle, make you cast twice as fast and interrupt your every spell.

 

[Jedoro]

I tend to be a sneaky swordsman. I'll stick to the shadows until I'm close enough to tear you a superfluous new behind.

 

[MortisLegio]

Assassin, with magical powers.
Light armor, fast, quiet, can use almost any weapon.

 

[Draco Kaiser]

Warrior. I don't like non-contact classes and I have a grudge against archers.

 

[Insanum]

I have never played as a mage in Oblivion, I always use a mix of archer and warrior. Archer for stealthy parts, warrior for when it all goes wrong.

Bingo. Same. Mage every now and again just for hilarity.

 

[Supreme Unleaded]

I am a stealthy Archer, I use stelth to creep up on my enemies and get the bonus dammage. I have Mage as my secondary, but mostly healing, so i can dish out the arrows and then just heal myself.

 

[Rigs83]

I don't play Oblivion but I suspect that I would play coward hiding behind cover class.

 

[Dikaiosune Exousia]

It always depends on the game (most games seem to make one awesome class and/or one worthless class) but to the extent possible, I like to be a jack of all trades. Typically I prioritize it as mage>warrior>archer/thief/stealth.

And I always, Always like to have good healing, support, and regeneration abilities regardless of what class they fall under. Same goes for any followers I may have.

Destruction magic FOR THE WIN

 

[SebZero]

I like being a mage. It suits me personality wise (intelligent, weak, can't take a hit), and I usually find swinging a sword at times. I just prefer to sling spells from a place where I can't be punched in the face.

(Wow this is close. Like, a 1-2 person difference for each choice excluding "Other")

 

[Headless Zombie]

I like fireballs. Don't care what I play so long as I throw flames from my fingertips.

 

[CmdrGoob]

Mage - eat explosions bitches!
