What's your class?

[El Poncho]

Well, in WoW my preference is Rogue, In DA:O my prefered class was rogue, in Borderlands I chose Siren(because its ability to go invisible and run away). So I would say I prefer a stealth class so I can escape mobs/stealth through straight to the objective with minimal fighting.

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

Generally I favor close range over long ranged. I also favor being able to do many things well rather than one thing exceptionally well.

As examples: A rogue (or, to a lesser extent, a Bard) in D&D.
Bad Company 2: Shotgun, m1911, magnum ammunition and C4 (Giving me combat options against almost everything at the most likely engagement ranges).

 

[Vibhor]

Anything stealth oriented

 

[CheckD3]

I prefer healing to combat. I can't win at a fight, but I can help others do so. When I had some online on my PS3 and the Orange Box loaded, I'd play as a healer in TF2, when I wasn't firing nails at people I was following a teammate around healing him.

Wow, again healer. First class I caught on with was priest, and found healing to be my choice, haven't DPS'd w/ that priest yet, though I did make him shadow, though mostly since DPS as Holy sucks I've noticed

But anywho, I just prefer healing and supporting if I'm in a team setting

Is it alright to list different genre's OP?, since I enjoy different classes in different situations.

For Beat Em Ups I use the little ultra fast guys with high risk combo's, Makoto for SF3 (I've yet to sample her in SF4), Leon Rafale in Virtua Fighter, both are ultra fast with tiny health bars and move sets that you need to be ultra close to your opponent to pull off with long cool down animations, but so satisfying to get the hang of.

For shooty whizz bang fun I play a support role such as medic to heal teammates or sniper class to stop the other team obtaining objectives, I very rarely use the "tank" class and I never use a shotgun, its such a thuggish weapon.

For MMO's I guess if I played them I'd be a little dwarf running around with an Axe being awesome.

 

[The Rockerfly]

I like magic, swords, snipers and explosives. I guess I'm an all rounder really

 

[UnwishedGunz]

i would have to be mage/cleric

i always feel like im not contributing to the team so i go cleric so that i know im making pregress with my team

 

[Outright Villainy]

In an fps game, the fast and dodgy guy.

Basically the Scout in Team fortress.

 

[Rofl-Mayo]

On WoW I tanked with my Paladin and enjoyed being able to take hits for my teammates, but recently I've been playing Champions of Norrath and have enjoyed my Mage, I've grown addicted to my powerful ice magic so when I get WoW back I'm making a Frost Mage.

 

[Raikov]

Well, I like gadgets and stuff, and I usually want to stay out of direct combat, so I tend to pick support classes. Not healers, mind. I just want to do the debuffs, DOTting up, and generally make fighting really hard for the guys I'm fighting.

That's why I loved playing Spiritmaster in Aion so much I guess.

Too bad not many games have classes like that. Most just go with the generic tank/healer/dps classes.

This may be the reason behind why I'm playing as an Alchemist in a Swedish pen-and-paper RPG called EON. I can make grenades and stuff but I wouldn't even be able to hit a peasant in melee xD

 

[Geekosaurus]

Jack of all traits.

 

[flying_whimsy]

I try to be the equivalent of Pichu in Smash Bros. Melee: my only specialty is moving fast and dying a lot. I have a good time doing it, though.

 

[FinalGamer]

Ohhhh what classes we lean towards?

I admit I enjoy being the red mage in games more, the jack of all trades who balanced magic and physical skills with more leaning towards magic, but never excelled in either.
I like staying away from enemies to pick off from a distance as well as have a repertoire of nasty tricks to pull out.
I guess you can say....I play support. Especially if I can defend.

In Deus Ex, I always pick proficiency in hacking, pistols, lockpicking and swimming (yes I DO find it useful, Yahtzee )
In DragonAge: Origins, I'm a Magi.
In Mass Effect, my first class was Sentinel.
In Team Fortress 2, I usually play either Engineer or Heavy.
In Fallout 3 I first picked proficiency in Science, Small Arms and Speech.
In shooter games I like to stick to small arms like pistols.
In any other RPG and action game, I almost always load up in defensive skills before offensive, and even then the offensive skills are more or less built on precision rather than damage.

I may not hit hard, but I'll watch your back.

 

[Sheamus]

I like the jack of all trades class the best. In WoW druid was my favorite and in mass effect I am a sentinel. and in Warhammer I played a disciple of khaine.

when that's not available I like either a support class or a mage.

 

[DustyDrB]

I generally go for a speed and strength combo, so whatever that makes me. Not a rogue, because I don't go for light weaponry and armor. Not really a tank, either. How about a train? Yes, my class is Train. Getouttamyway

 

[Flying-Emu]

A bard/buffer... or

A stalwart protector!

 

[Slash12]

I almost always go for the sneaky rouge/assassin type, although I also do range/sniper, but a sneaky rouge type sniper lol...

Pretty much anything that allows me to sneak around and kill every enemy without them having a chance to fight back.

 

[Lord Of Cyberia]

I'm generally the Overpowered Rapid fire/Heavy caliber spellcaster, or else I'm the Stealth Assassin. And I'm always ranged.

 

[DruidicTegernako]

Druid types (obvious)or defensive casters. I love the idea of using barriers and absorption spells. Alternatively, I also like glass-cannon melee characters. I.E Assassin/Theif in Fire Emblem. Something that will outright kill most things but if they take a lick of damage are knocked flat on their ass.

 

[astrav1]

A stealthy bad ass. One that can switch to sneaking and jumping around, ninja-style Stabbing and arrowing his way thorough unsuspecting guards without a trace, but can also plow through anything that is thrown at me.
