[Warrior Spirit]

I go first.

It's a tie between a warrior (DPS or tank, as long as he's melee) and an archer/ranger/marksman.

I love hanging out with healers, but the idea of me healing disgusts me. I still do it but only on alts. My main character in an MMO is never ever a healer and healer protagonists don't exist in single player RPGs.

I love monks too but they are rare to find nowadays. Most D&D type of games never have monks. Only Korean and JRPGs have monks because they want to show off their Chinese Kung Fu Chakra Shaolin Dragon Kicks.

Mage. I enjoy playing long range magic dps glass cannon. I'd always choose a mage as my 1st/main character in MMO or single player, if there is a choice of classes.

Healer would be a close 2nd. That's probably mostly for MMO. Sometimes I'd pick a healer over mage in MMO if I enjoy the healing system there.
I suppose, if there is no healer class in single player rpg, there could also be something like Paladin, that can self heal and do holy magic

And I never pick melee classes if ranged classes exist in the game. Lol Just prefer doing stuff from afar.

It is so satisfying to bum-rush vulnerable mages in any game and one shot them before they can finish casting. It gives me nostalgia in playing Civilization 5 and reaching within punching range of literal glass cannons and obliterating them quick before they start destroying my cities. lol.

Healer, more so Darkest Dungeon style cleric where I can cast spells and bash something in the face with a mace, or in FF14's case the White Mage and it's good damage. I used to not care for healers, but as I got older, remembering long rotations for DPS classes (FF14) just got to me, and I recall something a black mage that knew my temperament well said "You would like healing it would suit you." "Nah, hell with casters I like being up in front of things and beating them down." "You don't understand, as a healer you get to decide who lives and who dies, you would enjoy that kind of power."

And yeah, he was right 100%, I also do tanks often, whatever one can put out the most damage and can sustain itself a bit.

In RPG's I tend to follow some form of meta, or I do my own crazy class mix, heavy/medium armor, heavy automatic weapons or double swords and I'll use sneak to strike my first blows then use heavy attacks/automatic fire to beat what survived the first blow.

In most MMORPGs, I tend to lean healer. Then I started playing ffxiv and I branched into DPS. I have a lot of fun with ranged casting classes.

 

[DaydreamNarrator]

Always DPS, preferably whatever class beats enemies up with objects you're not supposed to beat people up with. Musical instruments. Books. Cards. Paintbrushes. Stuff like that.

Second place would be explosions everywhere (had a literal blast playing Purifier in Grim Dawn).

Third place is skyrim-style sneak archer.

 

[Murdergurl]

I'm a simple gal, I like to pick Barbaric-styled classes. Simple weapons, simple armor (if ANY armor), and no real gimmick to speak of. I don't really like to deal with the whole overture of magic or creature affinity or complicated gizmos. That being said, I don't like the whole "raging berserker" trope that is commonly acquainted with Barbarian classes (this is common in High Fantasy settings). I prefer the more mundane, simple brutality that doesn't come with a boost/cost dynamic.

Of course, I'm speaking more about character concept, and less about Video game terms.

 

[Kintsuugi]

I like any class that falls under "brawler". I love characters that rely on their fists and utilize martial arts in general. I think gauntlets, bracers, and katars are pretty cool too, as they usually play well into this style. Other than that? Love healers and axe wielders. Together or separate, you decide.
