Mage, then Rogue. There's only so many ways you can sword somebody, which is why the rogue is gratifying in that you can trip them with a trap, then backstab 'em. It's rewarding. But mages have every flavor of doom. All the dooms of the rainbow!

I`ll always lean towards the Warrior class, although as much an inspiration as Conan the Barbarian is generally don`t like the pure str/con brute force thugs/tanks. I like a versatile warrior that has a good range of skill sets & techniques, andéor one that dabbles in a little bit of magic on the side. Like in Guild Wars for example, I jumped right into a Warrior/Elementalist build.

So you like everything about mages except for the fact that they're mages and use magic? Isn't that kinda what, you know, a mage is all about?
Yep, and I don't like it. Plus, I always imagine Mages being the pretentious dicks that go Oxford or something, or like the little cunts that go that Hogwarts in Harry Potter. I prefer being all up in someone's grill when I'm killing them, or as a Ranger if I'm doing damage at range, with maybe a pet raping faces up front. I kinda like the Mage in WoW because you can be a zombie Mage and it's quite fast paced, but in other games I've played I've never really liked them or their style.

Who knows.. maybe it's preference..

If I'm just screwing around, I'll make a mage type and charge into battle with melee. Otherwise, I have fun with the thiefy types.

Healer, then lacking that, offensive mage.

"The warrior says, 'I can kill that guy in two hits'.
The rogue says, 'I can kill him in one hit, without him even noticing.'
The mage says, 'I can kill all four of them in one hit.'
The healer says 'I can sit back and watch three idiots kill things for me'"

Voted mage, but where's my priest/cleric option? And don't tell me that it's covered by "mage" 'cause it's not. They are totally different roles.

Until they start whining "Heal me plox!" "Why aren't you healing quick enough!" "Heal me first!" "No, me!" "No, ME! I'm tanking it!" "Then do your job better since I'm getting hate!" etc.

But you see, thats another reason to play heals. When they piss you off enough, you are the one with the power to let them all die. Bubble hearthing was invented by paladins. The tank is your bubble as a healer.

in TTRPG's, I'm usually a spellblade of some sort. I like to tank but I like options. In Dragon Age however, I'm a mage. Why? Mages are broken.

If there is an option, I will always always go for the Paladin type, so mark me down as a Warrior/Mage mix I guess.
same here, i usually go for a bit of a mix

Yeah, but the whining still gets annoying. Especially if you're not a job that's really supposed to be main healing.

*ahem*
LEVEL 30 RDM ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO SUBSTITUTE FOR A MAIN HEALER! GET A WHM! STOP EXPECTING ME TO KEEP YOU ALIVE! THAT IS ALL!

I'll usually start with warriors, because they're easier to pick up. Then I'll work up to mages. I like rogues, but they need to be very well done (or mages to be very poorly done) for me to play them a lot.

Someone tried to level RDM as an early job in FFXI. I know your pain.

I was in a party once in Yhoator and asked why they had me main heal and they said I was too weak to hurt anything anyway. I then Chainspelled and soloed one of the mandragora before our fighter could pull him.
