Primarily, I'm a DPSer in World of Warcraft. Paladin? Retribution-spec. Shaman? Elemental. Priest? Shadow. Druid? Cat form Feral. Warrior? Okay, I'm contemplating re-specing but Arms. Death Knight? Unholy DPS. I CAN do healing, but considering all it is is "keep person you are healing as your target and press heal button with speed of pneumatic drill" I really kinda got bored of it. At least DPSing you feel like you're contributing.
I do see where you're coming from but even if the Healer is a boring class, you can't help but deny how crucial it is in raids.The Great JT said:
As for my characters? Mage: Fire-specced. I've been told it's not exactly great for PvP and Arcane is the way to go because they learn slow after a while, but i could always respec after a while.
PvP scares me.

Sorry to have stepped on your toes my friend. But you seemed to imply that everybody has played an MMO.Darkblazer said:
My answer that I was not participating was a direct answer to your question: "When you make a character for these games, what is it you usually want to be?". Since I have never made a character for one of these games, I answered truthfully to your question.
In all logic and reasoning that I can muster, my post is valid. The fact that the answers you provided for your question does not qualify for my situation, does not inhibit me from creating my own answer and posting it in the topic you created. It is in no way merely my intention to increase my post count, and frankly I am offended that you are implying so without even knowing me and the way I usually post.
Is there a fallacy in my reasoning? Perhaps I'm not as sharp today as I would like to be.
Myself i like playing the Tanking Role =), i have a 80 Dwarf Paladin on WoW and i have a lv 30 Guardin on LOTRO... but also like DPS and Healing for both Wow and LOTRO
Something else.Darkblazer said:
In WoW I played an undead Shadow Priest named Sharess, I ruled the art of the gank, tormenting the Alliance in Wetlands and Redridge and other places, but that was pretty much my thing. I wasn't a griefer, I was just a ganker. I would roam around looking to provoke lowbs into calling in the cavalry, because I got a real thrill out of playing cat and mouse while I dotted down the stragglers.
I've never been one to play an MMO just to be another brick in the wall. Why be a run of the mill healbot when I can have some real fun on the side? Why be a run of the mill dime a dozen PvP arena grinder when I can go have some real fun outside of an enemy town? I'll never understand why so many people are content with simply accepting the rolls given to them.
Im a huntard. I do damage by pressing one button repeatedly (steady shot / trinket / cooldown buffs rotation macro i set up), and occasionally pressing 3 other buttons (serpent sting, black arrow, explosive shot). I get commended for doing 3k+ dps when i don't really have to do anything. <3 being a huntard. Don't worry though.... i have an almost 80 priest i'm gonna heal with soon, so don't flame me.
I said Damage Dealer, not Mana Burner, I always have enough mana to cast frost nova or freeze the dick in place, teleport away, cast Flare or just run away!!!!Darkblazer said:
Worst case scenario I bust out The Spell. (which varies from game to game)
Tbh depends on the game.
In WoW I played as a tank and healer (have to laugh at the amount of tank posts here btw. In 1 year of wow I only ever met 4 other tanks. I think some people think melee dps is tanking lol.)
In DDO I played as tank, dps/buffer/cc caster and melee dps. Would have played as a healer here too but unlike most other mmo's it really does require a lot of skill and mine was lacking lol.
In EQ2 I played as a tank and a healer. (I must admit that I was very suprised to see how many healers there were in this game. I dont think I've ever encountered so many.)
In Aoc I played as a tank and melee dps. I was going to try playing a healer but unfortunately I got bored by the bland gameplay before I got round to it.)
In GW I played a dps caster but not for very long. I blame DDO for ruining my enjoyment of what would probably have been a good game if I hadnt played that first. It just seemed very dull in comparison.

Tanker definitely.Erana said:
I don't play MMORPG's but if I did I would most likely be either a healer, or DPS.
