I'm always the...

[Macgyvercas]

I'm typically a Paladin: decent at DPS, decent at tanking, and can self heal to a degree. Awesome combo in my book.

Typically I am a rogue. I prefer dexterity/agility and skill/finesse over brute force.

Sounds like you'd make a fair Ranger as well. Or possibly a Ranger/Rogue mulitclass.

Also, totally off topic, but please tell me that your avatar is Washu from Tenchi Muyo!

 

[Solo-Wing]

Medic/Paladin/Cleric. I like to heal. Mostly myself but hell I'll heal my buddies if they need it.

 

[RowdyRodimus]

Whoever doesn't use stealth. I hate stealth. It's the most boring tactic in games and just isn't any fun. Give me a character that busts through the enemies and mows them down any day of the week.

 

[MrAkuma201]

I don't play Guild Wars but I know what you'r talking about. I'm the big hitter on the team or an all round type. I always play the class or character that will need a healer in battle. I try playing as the healer or magic users but I'm bad at them don't know why YAY TANKS 8)

 

[Pandalisk]

In Shooters im the Sniper, i find a nice window and i stay there till the deed is done.
In RPG's im not really sure, probably a support unit.

In RTS's im the Infantry man, i love those Dog-faced sons a bitches, what use is your expensive tank when its de-tracked and surrounded?

Well, I don't think he meant specifically D&D. However, yes rangers and rogues are highly synergistic. Quite honestly I can't stand having less than 5 skill points a level in D&D. All my recent characters have gotten at least 7 skill points a level. Anyway, it more goes down to "what good is their str if they can't hit me?". Even in Devil May Cry 3 I was a trickster and was rarely hit. I guess I just like to attack things from the right angle for the least amount of energy spent. As a DM I actually reward players who can find non-combat solutions to combat situations.

yes it is.

 

[Ace of Spades]

I'm usually the uncomplicated damage soaking thickie. If you've got one of those "plan" things that are so popular, have me be the distraction. I just charge right into the fray and play entirely by reflex.

 

[InnerRebellion]

Always the support caster/moral support.

 

[curty129]

Always the one who's never terribly good at his role. Except healing. Because healing requires no more skill than the level of a chimp's instincts.

Excluding FPSs. Darned FPSs. People don't stop getting a bullet or twelve in the face every few seconds.

 

[eggy32]

I usually play the charismatic thief or the mage. Warriors just don't do it for me in RPGs.

 

[Something Amyss]

I'm always the Rogue. It best fits my playstyle and the other slots are usually filled in anyway.

Except when I played Monday Night Combat, because there were always like 5 Ninjas....

 

[Nopodop]

I'm always the warrior, but with some healing and lockpicking.

 

[Hookman]

I'm usually the corpse on the floor. Covered in blood. Getting kicked. Just kidding, I like to be stealthy but if that fails then I'll go in all guns blazing which is why I like Deus Ex so much.

 

[BENZOOKA]

A melee character, absolutely. Almost always a straightforward rogue who attacks quickly and deals a whole lot of damage and doesn't hide in the shadows.

 

[Alssadar]

I'm normally a rifleman for fps's, preferring the adaptability of speed and firepower.
In rpg's, I'm a warrior. It feels dishonorable to kill a worthy opponent with an arrow from 100 meters.
But, I still try to fit most roles; versatility is my game.

 

[ABLb0y]

In Dragon Age, i'm a mage who also happens to use swords.

 

[jamradar]

If its a MMO then almost always tank.

If its a solo game then I am a jack of all trades.

 

[AnAngryMoose]

Support. It's usually a Mage with a nice combination of healing magic and damage magic. Sometimes I play as a sturdy warrior that can dish it out and take it.

 

[FalloutJack]

Well, I like to blast things. Nothing wrong there, right?
