I'm always the...

[TriggerHappyAngel]

I prefer Engineer-like classes (or Support if it's a fantasy game) who can build structures and deploy turrets (favorite example: the Engineer / Constructor classes from ET:QW)

 

[The Night Shade]

I like being a tactical player but in some games that's a bad idea

 

[LogicNProportion]

I'm a warrior, usually with a two handed sword.

Knight is my favorite D&D class.

PS. 3.5 FTW!

 

[ChipSandwich]

I can take any specialist role but I don't really excel at any of them. I like being more of a standard grunt.

 

[NiceGurl_14]

I'm usually the support, I like playing the healer or the mage. But I'll occasionally choose the warrior.

 

[Wapox]

I'm a sniper
Long range or Nuke dmg...

which generally means mage or "Archer"

 

[WolfEdge]

I typically find myself drawn to the rogue archetype. But what I REALLY love is a blend of arcane and martial characters. An acrobatic and sneaky magic user, for example, or an arcane warrior of some kind.

If it's a game, I'm usually left with very little to go on. If it's a table top RPG, I typically end up blending multiple classes together.

 

[joe90]

I'll usually be the charasmatic one, who talks his way out of trouble and into the NPC's hearts. also, i'll spread a little healing around if needs be. Yeah, that's right, I'm a mother-flipping bard.

Woop.

 

[Zipa]

Depends on the game. TF2 im a sniper or demoman in RPGs or MMOs I go for the glass cannon or the class that is most difficult to play.

 

[zehydra]

If I can, I like to play as a character who is able to attack quickly multiple times with melee weapons. This usually ends up being like a rogue character, though if I could attack multiple times quickly with something other than daggers and knives, I would.

 

[Popadoo]

Skillful, clean and neat. In RPGs I'm a rogue or thief, in shooters I usually snipe.

 

[Mr Shrike]

I enjoy being able to lob huge-ass fireballs at people, so I'm always the mage.

 

[LawlessSquirrel]

I take the support role. I like to be needed, and it gives me more of a purpose and reason to be accepted into groups. Usually that means Healing, of course.

In the case of solo-ing, I'll take the stealth or tactical role. I'm not a fan of brute force, it seems so...straight forward.

 

[loc978]

Usually either tactical support or fire support. Occasionally scout/rogue or tank. I can play pretty much any role.

 

[Mumonk]

Tank, cause usually other tanks suck too hard for me to trust them. =P

 

[Phoenix09215]

Back in my MMORPG days I was always a mage. Hanging back from the danger and dealing plenty of damage to a large group of people (depending on the speciality, I prefer being a frost mage personally).

 

[Super Toast]

I always play as a mage. When you have the option to annihilate your opponent with fireballs, summons and all manner of reality-warping trickery, why even bother with a sword?

 

[erto101]

High damages low health be it mage or assassin =)

 

[Rickyvantof]

Stealth, Ranged(sniper), Hit and Run, those kind of things. The type of gameplay it provides (given, the stealth system works properly etc.) usually provides the most excitement.

 

[estoria-etnia]

I prefer ranged characters ? either mages or another class with ranged attacks. Although, I do prefer when I can still race in and smack the crap out of the monster with some decent melee attacks if I run out of mana/TP/whatever. That's for standard RPGs o JRPGs, for other games I prefer stealth and remaining as a ranged class.
