Do you guys/gals have a main class you like to play in Rpg's like Dnd or MMORPG's like WoW. If so how'd you decide that it was the class for you?

I think about this way too much and I really wanna stop changing my mind :)

DPS. Kill the enemy before they can kill me.

Oh yeah, welcome to the Escapist.

When I'm playing an RPG I like to pick whatever gives me the most choices in a given situation. Usually that means a spellcaster or bard. Magic's versatile and there's only so much you can do with a hammer. [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer] Especially when you can just magick up hammer wielding constructs.

I also don't generally play MMOs.

Mages. I'm ready for anything.

If Oblivion was PvP, I'd kick your ass. WITH YOURSELF.

Illusion magic, ftw.

I tend to always pick a tank class. I like to be responsible for keeping my friends alive. I always have a healer secondary though.

I choose DPS. I don't have to worry about protecting the team, and I don't have to worry about keeping the team alive. All I have to worry about is killin' scrubs. Killing is my business.

Yes. That's right.

Healer, because we are under-appreciated, but invaluable to raids and group play. Also a good healer is loved by all, and is normally the last to die.

I tend to pick either a DPS mainly because I see tanking and healing as to much of a responsibility thing. With DPSing all you have to do is attack the enemy and do high amounts of damage, pretty easy compared to the other two.

In RPGS like Dragon Age: Origins I tend to pick someone who can use swords but also use magic. Kinda like how Gandalf can use both magic and is skilled with a sword.

Wizard.

Because 'You give the reality around your foe a command and it responds. Space and time twist and bend as your enemy is rend apart by the forces of creation' is way cooler than 'you swing the sword around you really fast and decapitate your foe'.

Magic classes tend to be versatile in their spells and abilities. You got DPS, buff, debuff, AoE and all in between, whereas I feel like there are only so many ways you can swing a sword or throw a dagger. Usually you need to speacialize pretty heavily with fighter-classes, choosing only a weapon or two to attempt to master. This means choosing between range, DPS, defence and other modifiers early on and then being trapped by those choices. With magic you can customize your spellbook as necessity dictates and find combinations that work for your particular style of play.

Bardbarian. Yes that's right. Noobs roll bards and pros roll bardbarians. :)
Lumberjacks are cooler! Who else is going to wrestle a bear when it breaks into your house an tries to steal your wife? A Bard? A Barbarian? I don't think so, a Lumberjack!

I picked healer because that's what I prefer. Magic-casting, usually ranged, DPS would be my second choice. I love to PvP though, so a healer is ideal to stay alive when I have a pocket DPS or tank symbiotic relationship. XD

Fuck yeah. I spent so much time dicking around with Illusion magic in that game. I almost feel like going back and.....

OP: In WoW I was a Druid. So all of them.
