Stealth archer/fencer in UO and Item Archer (item enchantment magic and bow) in Asheron's Call.
filmoret: One thing I have never figured out is why the game devs hardly ever fix simple problems that arise. It is like they don't care about the pvp community. Nitth: What makes you so sure its a simple fix? filmoret: Because most of them are. Sometimes its just changing a number in a code string other times its creating a few variables. However none of them should take over a few hours of coding. |

Have to go with a 'mage' or some type. I always roll a 'glass cannon' type char first and then something else. Wonder why there seems to be more haters on the internet? Read this by an actual marketing guy to find out why. |

DAOC Minstrel, back when speed classes mattered.

Originally posted by BadSpock I agree, there's no reason why a sword + shield user couldn't be considered a dps class. Both the sword and shield can be used as a weapon. Afterall, in some games tanks use dual-wield weapons and 2-handers |

my favorite class of all time and i played a lot of different mmo´s was
Anarchy Online: Fixer
it was i guess the second MMO i really got into, and i chose a Fixer Girl in AO because it looked cool to me. I had no idea how to play a Fixer and i had a lot to learn , and eventually i had to reroll my char because skilling wasnt that easy in AO. But after a while i had a lot of fun with my Fixer. It was good for soloing, and was also wanted in group playing. The Fixer gave everyone HoTs (Heal over times). It was also the fastest char in AO , the Fixer gave everyone Speed Buffs. It was fun to get some Fixer gear in AO, and when i got my "Grid Armor" the first time a little dream came true. Suddenly i had this cool char who can transform herself in a fluid being with very good Evasion skills. Even with my moderate amount of hit points i was wanted in a lot of groups as Tank, because the enemys just wont hit me. not only the big guys can tank ^^ and i liked also the range attack with the blasters.
so, i have very good memories from that time with my Fixer
with Grid Armor:

I like classes which reward good gameplay so Disciple from Vanguard, Mesmer from GW1 / GW2, Illusionist from EQ2 (before it got dumbed down) and Bard from EQ1.

Full agreement here. Best class I have played thus far. In other games, I like a nature based pet class like the Hunter in WoW or Ranger in GW2. I also had a great time in WoW with my form shifting Druid. My Storm Controlling/Electricity defender in City of Heroes was great fun, too. All of those paled in comparison to my EQ Bard, though :) - Al Personally the only modern MMORPG trend that annoys me is the idea that MMOs need to be designed in a way to attract people who don't actually like MMOs. Which to me makes about as much sense as someone trying to figure out a way to get vegetarians to eat at their steakhouse. |

Originally posted by Kyleran EQ Bards is where twisting originated. At least from 1998-2002. Bards are my second favorite class in EQ. My first of all time is EQs Necromancer. Nothing more fun than fear, engulfing darkness, a couple of DOT.s and a truly evil laughing skeleton pounding on the enemy while it runs in fear! Success is your proof; |

any type of Bard class, but particularly in Vanguard: Saga of Heros
then Swashbuckler in EQ2
followed by Paladin in WoW
and Druid in Vanguard and WoW, but both are entirely different play styles. in VG Druids are nuke specialists, while of course the shape changing in WoW and general utility is great.
Mesmer in GW1 and GW2

Very commonly I prefer hybrid classes that let me fight well. Tend to avoid active enhancements(buffs) in favor of persistent passive enhancements or skillsets that move through things conditionally.
I commonly enjoy Paladins a lot. A specific example of a class I loved for this was the Valkyrie in DAoC. Enjoyed the Banshee in DAoC as well. In general preferred using the medic and repair gear in Planetside to play support, but also just soldiered it up. Really enjoy playing clerics/priests too. As the size of an explosion increases, the number of social situations it is incapable of solving approaches zero. - Vaarsuvius |

The mechanic of Vanguard's Blood Mage always stood out to me, you had to deal damage to heal your allies and you could craft and use symbiotes (little bug like creatures) out of the enemies organs to buff with.

Rift Chloromancer... A true DPS/Healer hybrid caster that heals as a secondary effect of nuking. Best implementation of that idea in any game.
