Poll: Warrior, Rogue or Mage?

[Blazing Steel]

I was playing dragon age origins and it got me thinking. What is the most common class and why in a fantasy RPG?

I always got for a warrior, sword and shield tank type because it's normaly a pretty simple role for my first play though. Then I move onto a Rogue, bow and arrow type because I have to most fun with them. The thing is I never play a mage as I like to get stuck in there (even if it's just a back up blade as a rogue) + I've just never found mages as a fun set up to play.

Yes, I know there are loads of classes I could put in the poll so I have summed it up a bit.

I chose Rogue, and I'll specialize into Bard most likely. Dual daggers.

 

[Darktau]

I wouldn't say there is a "Common" class, as there (on your list) is so many to choose from, I might say healers are slightly less common, but other than that, there about equal. I tend to go for Rouge/Assassin as there just plain bad ass, despite having the health bar of paper.

 

[Kajt]

The most common class is probably the sword and shield wielding warrior.

[sub]I prefer two handed swords/axes though...[/sub]

 

[Jenova65]

Rogue, two blades.

 

[0z0wen]

I'd go for rouge/assassin because the best kind of fight is the one where your enemy doesn't know you are there...

 

[SilvanTyl]

Sword and shield warrior. Though in co-op stuff, I'm usually the healer.

 

[Kollega]

I always choose...

The Machine Gunner! A slightly overweight guy with bandolier across his chest and belt-fed MG42 as his primary!

Okay okay okay. I can't really participate, because i very rarely play fantasy RPGs. And even if i do, i always pick the class i feel like playing as at this very moment. But i still wanted to say something witty.

I see about a million 'rogue' types in any MMO i have ever played. They're ridiculously popular.

 

[Macgyvercas]

Where's the option for "Depends what I feel like doing"? I mean in DDO, I have a wizard, two melee combatants (a paladin and a fighter) and a Ranger.

 

[ShotgunSmoke]

Warrior with a two-handed sword. That's how I play in Dragon Age.

 

[Adam]

Assassin type all the way, I just feel like a badass when your dressed in Black, sneaking in the shadows with a pair of snarling daggers ready to stab into someones neck. Also I feel as if there is more of a inherent history and background for assassins than warriors or mages. Assassins always have this mysterious aura about them and usually you can be part of a sect or brotherhood of assassins that is just awesome, makes them seem alot more human and interesting.

 

[Beffudled Sheep]

In Dragon Age I'm usually a Warrior (I play the different weapon styles equally). Then a mage who acts as my tank and damage dealer thanks to arcane warrior and blood magic specializations.

 

[JonnoStrife]

Warrior with magic back up. Every RPG and JRPG, this is the best way to get through the game. Playing the old Deal and Heal.

 

[Sethzard]

Attacking mage

 

[El Poncho]

I like dual wield rogue, I find it more fun being up close but not taking all the hits like a warrior.

Mage is fun sometimes, but it depends if i'm good with them or not.

 

[fenrizz]

Warrior with a two handed battle axe.
Also, name him Conan.

 

[BENZOOKA]

Usually a dual-wielding rogue, sometimes a warrior with a two-hand weapon. Almost never a mage, unless I feel like playing one for some odd reason. Don't like shields either. Basically it depends on the game and mood, but it's pretty much always a rogue/assassin/thief-type of a class.

 

[Ryuk2]

Warrior with magical back up
