Poll: What kind of Class are you in Roleplaying games?

Healer in MMOs, in single player I like either stealth classes or mages that use DoTs or drain health/mana from the enemy.
Fighter/Warrior, and Soldier if we are talking Mass Effect. I just prefer to way in as something heavily armed, rather that pointing sticks at things.
I basically like Omni-classes. Something where I will be able to excellently fulfill as many roles as possible. In Alpha Omega, this usually just means Arcane wielder with a few ranks in every field, by the end game, because barriers are just super-OP and so is the damage possible to do.
Just to give a perspective on that:
Max HP, using the core rules= 210.
Max damage when doing direct damage= 6d20x25.
Max HP a barrier can give= 80,000.
Being able to have an 80,000 damage barrier, and be able to do an average of 2000 damage to an enemy that, without cheating, can only have 210 HP? Priceless.
My GM ended up having to give enemies armor that resisted my damage to the square root of whatever I did, so they would stay alive.

Mage typically. I don't like exclusive close quarters combat.
I always pick a class with good magic stats.

I usually stay away from Rogues and Assassins and the like, but the weak-as-a-kitten magical hurricanes I usually like to play as get too slow for my taste. I like to be able to run everywhere in online games. Anything that combines those two powers is golden to me, like a spellcasting rogue. Alternately, if there's a spellcasting class that has equal parts black and white magic I could go for that, or a pure healer once or twice. Never am I much for high physical attack or defense.
In D&D, I've tried different kinds, it's just whatever I think would make a cool character rather than representing me. I've had a middle-aged bard, a badass monk and a huge orc leader.

I range depending on the game. More story based ones I play support casters, such as low level magic users or something else that won't steal the spotlight but can be useful in a range of situations. A more combat oriented one I would got for some tactician class, such as an assassin monk in D&D 3rd, that cold handle a fair amount on his own.
I always enjoy nimble fighters, like Bards and Swashbucklers. Plus I enjoy playing the loveable rogue characters so it fits in nicely.
