Sorcerers et al have always spoken to me, so I beeline for those if no one else is playing them in the group. If magic were real I would be a Shantotto or a Matoya, no question. Leave me alone with my frogs and brooms, all of you are losers. In FFXIV specifically I play the dwarf/gnome race, and small wizards are only a little bit cliche, so Iike being a beefy tank. I am small and fat IRL and if I could swing an axe like that with the rage of a thousand beasts you fuckin bet I would
Tank or Healer. Sometimes stealth
I will do a magic user every now and then but that is rare. Last time I did was Torchlight 2
Always some type of caster. Preferably with tons of CC and weird spell options, but I'll take a nuke wizard if that isn't available.
Thief/rogue and I'll go in hard in speech stuff if that's part of it.
You playing anything cool right now pal? i always worry about you man, you and i lived pretty similarly for awhile (fathers picking fights with us and demeaning us)
Trying out some Darks Ages by Nexon rn. Thanks for your concern comrade.
It totally depends on the Genre. In diablo style games I go for the kitey shooty usually bow/crossbow class. In tab targeting games its always a heal over time class. In more TTRPG inspired games I love rogues. In party based games I love whatever class lets me stack the most buffs. Thats just the crunch though.
Overall I love druidic vibes. The class fantasy of nature fighting back is too juicy for me. There is something so wholesome about murdering corrupt priests/kings with pagan power. My go to class in just about every game is a wood elf druid.
The druid class hall in WoW Legion is a perfect representation for why I love them so much. Its just this perfect lil grove and someone wants to corrupt it. Stopping them is the simplest strongest motivation for me.
in a single player RPG I'm a basic ass heavy armor tank with as much social skill as the game allows for. in an MMO I'm basically any form of utility, I like the extra thought that goes into being a tank or healer. dps tends to have a clear correct way to hit your buttons in every encounter in the entire game and the better you are at hitting your buttons exactly that way the better a dps you are. but tank and healer can have a slightly more nuanced thought process involving risk and reward and whatnot
