Mage, Rogue or Warrior?

[PREDRAG-K]

I tend to choose either magic or archer classes. Mage is always my first choice, unless the magic gameplay sucks (like in Elder Scrolls). If that's the case, I'll go with archer. If a game offers both (Dragon's Dogma) then I'll pick that hybrid class, like the Magick Archer.

I think playing as a mage is much easier than a warrior cuz you can just cast spells from far away and don't engage in close combat and risk getting killed. But mostly i play as warrior anyways.

Rogue, I always play as the Ranger type class in most MMOs.  I liked Summoner though in FFXIV which I guess can count as Sorcerer.  Personally I'm a fan of games that let me try out a bit of everything rather than being stuck to the one class for that character.

Mage 'cause I'm a big fan of magic attacks and supportive skills.

Mage. I prefer long-ranged classes because I feel more comfortable knowing that the enemy is not in my face. Mages also tend to have very flashy spells which is always nice to look at.

Warrior or Mage.  It really depends, sometimes I like to just face everything head on, but sometimes I prefer raining down destruction on the enemy from afar.  I guess it really depends on whether mana/TP/MP potions are plentiful and/or cheap in the game, or if it's like Final Fantasy where you can't buy Ethers (I think).  Ideally, I'd probably be a mage if there's some powerful spells in the game, otherwise I'd settle for a Warrior.  I'm hardly ever a Rogue, just because I'm usually terrible at stealth.  Usually it depends on if I have Warriors/Magi in my party, then I pick the other class.

Warrior, always the Warrior.  I generally don't like to "think" when I play video games... and Warrior's are usually the safest bet to allow me to walk into a room and just bash things in the face until I win.

 

Honorable mention to the Mage's... because big, lavish magic spells tend to look kind of awesome.

Always warrior ... I find it very therapeutic to smash my way through enemies with a big sword

I've only ever been interested in playing as a warrior. I absolutely love running around in heavy armour, carrying a huge shield and wielding a ultra greatsword 1.5x as big as my character. The only RPG I've played where I didn't tank my character was Dragons Dogma. Although I started as a fighter/warrior I quickly found it to be a rubbish class and reading about all the flying enemies I realised I would need a ranged class to be truly effective. Eventually decided to play as a hybrid class, the assassin, using daggers and a shortbow. I absolutely loved this game and playing as a rogue class made it even more entertaining. It did make me wonder if I should try other RPGs playing as a rogue but that thought didn't last long. Dark Souls 2 came out and I went back to being a tank. Playing as a mage has never interested me at all. However I will get Diablo 3 at some point and will have to play as a magic class to platinum it which will be interesting.

Mage or warrior, mostly because I do enjoy getting up close and personal while I'm slowly cutting down a bosses health. Though after that I do a mage playthrough to get a good understanding of the games mechanics when it comes to magick and how to use it. It's always interesting to see how it's done and the magick in motion.

[Shinobi-Versus]

Any martial arts class. But mage or even healer would be my second choice because I like burst damage. :3 Followed by gun classes. I'll almost never use archer classes.

[Fierce_DeityX1]

A rogue, hands down. This might be due to the face that I like tactics and stealth.

I have always chosen warrior, usually because I prefer running in like a tank and the armor is always awesome. But Dragon Age was the first game where warrior was my least favorite. Overall I like a warrior mage.

I've always preferred ranged DPS (usually a mage type) or a healer. I don't like to be upfront in battles.

It's a toss up between Mage/Sorcerer and the Rogue class, but I voted for the Mage. I like ranged characters in most games.

I agree with this.

I'd have to say Warrior. In D&D I like the Barbarian the best, although I have played stealthy classes too. In video games, I don't have the patience to hide in the shadows and sneak attack my foe. Magic is nice as way to defeat an enemy---but in the end, as I said, Warrior. SMASH! lol

[Quidin]

I tend to be a warrior in most games. I really like beeing armored to the maximum and killing every single mob with my almighty strength hammer +5. But unfortunately I can´t play as rouge. It´s a really difficulty playstyle for me. And I do not like stealth games either.

 

And sometimes I choose the mage as starting class. It really makes fun as a mage in the end of a game. Unlocked all powerfull spells like crystal homing soulmas or something. 

[Dimmu-T]

Mage is my First class of any MMO i have played. 

[Piers Nivans]

Its a tie between Mage and Rogue both are fun to play 

[XarliaKoneko]

I'm for the Rogue.

 

Mage and Warrior are lame sometimes in my opinion.

[RenegadeSoap]

I like to steel stuff with a Rogue. 

[XIII-Order-Xion]

The Rogue-Speed, Agility and Swift attacks.

 

Enough said.

[NadeShady]

Warrior, I like to get into the face of my enemies and pummel them to the ground until surrender.

[Z1MZUM]

Rogue/Thief for games that require unlock skills early, Mage for all the others. I rarely go Warrior unless it's a mmorpg which is strange because let's face it, No other role takes anywhere near as much crap as the Tank.  In fact, I completely abandoned FF14 due to being sick of the abuse.

[Banxiee]

Rogue/thief every time. Playing as a warrior is boring imo, being able to just stand there and tank and smash (there are exceptions though, with great skill trees). Offensive mage/wizards also tend to be either massively over- or underpowered in every game I play, so either it's no fun for being too easy, or no fun because it's waaay too hard. Rogue/thief is a nice balance for me

 

If you open up the categories even more though, I play clerics whenever they're available
