Mage, Rogue or Warrior?

[Mr_Freaker]

Most games let you choose one of these three main classes (hybrids and variations are possible depending on the game)

 

Which is your favorite and why?

 

I like to change between Warriors and Rogue.

I often start with a Rogue playthrough because it's often very diverse, end with a second warrior playthrough to really make a dent in enemies.

[nagisa-chan1987]

mostly Rogue and sometimes Mage. I dislike Warrior

[Captain_Cutscene]

I always tend to go for Warrior because I like being in the face of the enemy while my allies are somewhat protected and get the time they need to do mega-damage. The only game I go for the Rogue/Thief or any sneaky class are Fallout and Elder Scrolls games

 

I never really play Mage, although I love the idea of uber spell damage, it never really fit with my playstyles.

[Bucknerd]

I tend to enjoy ranged or magical classes, even in my Dungeons and Dragons campaigns, because it fits into my play style the best.  I enjoy spell casting, buffing, and healing.

 

If I had to chose a magic class I'd go with cleric/white mage.  When I was a little girl (3 - 4)  I was afraid of the enemies in video games.  In the Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past I'd spend my whole time in the village because I was too scared of the soldiers.  I suppose that initial fear shaped the way I play and made me prefer ranged.

 

The only exception is Kingdom Hearts.  Donald can have that crap.

[DarkPirate2007]

I prefer Warrior, fighting enemies up close and personal while having a high hp and defense to keep myself at bay. I also enjoy playing as a Rogue for swift attacks. 

[Wdjat Prinny Doods]

I always go warrior. I love fighting up close and personal rather than attacking from a distance. I've never liked being a mage or any type of spellcaster because they are ranged characters plus I'm too impatient to wait for a spell to cast before unleashing my attack dood

[PSNP is crap i left]

Warrior is best because of the things people have mentioned above. Also, i don't have to use MP so much for magic since i have to use it to heal myself. But Mages/Sorcerers should start with really high MP but that doesn't matter i'll go with Warrior any day of the week.

[Sakraali]

A mage (or a warlock) because HOLYFUCKINGHELLWHATISTHATTHINGCRAWLINGOUTOFTHEBLAZINGINFERNOTHATIJUSTCAST

[Lady Blanc]

Personally it's a tie between Mage & Rogue, good thing Dragon's Dogma combined those 2 classes to make quite possibly the most OP class in the game. I prefer the Rogue for their speed & high critical hit rate, as for the Mage... who doesn't love decimating groups of enemies with incredibly powerful spells?

[damon8r351]

Games that use rules from Advanced Dungeons & Dragons have a class called a Ranger, which combines the abilities of a warrior class with the stealth abilities of a Rogue, and some limited healing ability.

[Satoshi Ookami]

Mage, always mage.

[McJacs2]

I prefer to go a cross class between mage and warrior, but if I can only choose one then I usually choose mage. Magic is fun

[devourerplease]

It generally varies game from game, but usually it's a warrior or a cross between a warrior and a mage.

[Dragon-Archon]

Usually a combination from Rogue and Warrior

[OdysseyPS]

Warrior for multiplayer games like WoW and rogue for single player games like Skyrim.

[KeyvanNav]

Both warrior and rouge. Depends on the game.

It really depends on the game. I like variety, so I tend to change it up a bit.

 

In multiplayer games, I like to play healer the best though.

[Happy]

Mages are usually a bit too flashy for my tastes, although i sometimes play as them if the game is flashy itself. It's always a must to have one in my party though, for healing and buffing.

Warriors are alright, i usually go warrior when i don't have a party to back me up, in games like Skyrim etc.

Rogues are usually me favorite class, although i always go for the archer route, not the dual-wield/backstabber/whatever kind. There's something really badass about taking out enemies from afar, with precision instead of brute force. A rogue that gets up close is just a less bulky warrior to me. My favorite Rogue ever was in Dragon's Dogma, that game had the coolest archery in any game ever.

surprise... surprise... voted for Mage... actually love seeing those flashy skills + I prefer to do the hit and run/evade approach... if there is Elf Archer in the choices... might have hard time choosing TBH =3

[SarDarniTron]

Love being both Warrior and Mage, depends again

[Kashiyuka]

although i always go for the archer route, not the dual-wield/backstabber/whatever kind. There's something ereally badass about taking out enemies from afar, with precision instead of brute force.

Exactly this, I always go to archery for the precision and the overall awesomeness of wielding a bow and arrow.    Being an archer allows me to plan my next move with the distance, as well as survey the overall situation, which is perfect for me as I'm a strategic thinker.

 

However, from the choices, mage > rogue > warrior.  I like being supportive and co-operative with buffing and healing which I find more exciting than brute force (unless, like I said, there's an option for archer).  In any online game I'm always the one who does the healing or background support for this reason.  

[DeathNyx]

Voted for Warrior but i use Mage too, it depends on games though. For Example, in Kingdoms of Amalur i use Rogue and Mage, in Skyrim, Warrior and Mage based characters.

[ChickenExotic]

I always tend to go for Warrior because I like being in the face of the enemy while my allies are somewhat protected and get the time they need to do mega-damage. The only game I go for the Rogue/Thief or any sneaky class are Fallout and Elder Scrolls games

Exactly my reasoning why i chose warrior. 

[Luneth]

I usually play as a mage, but mostly for healing purposes. Other than that, I'll play as a warrior. Because who doesn't love battle maidens.

[Redgrave]

I mostly go with Warrior since I like to tank enemies. They also get the most flashy looking armor But I will go Mage if they have interesting enough spells or a healing/buff ability. I don't go as a Rogue unless I just really want to.
