Classes in RPGs: Which one would you be?

Post Reply New Topic

If you had to pick a class in a RPG (such as knight, mage, rouge and their variations) which would you be? Why?

If you had a side-kick, what class would they be? Why?

If I had to pick a class for myself I would be a white mage. I don't really like fighting and prefer to help those in need. Also being a white mage gets you a freebie in heaven!(kidding!)

I think my side-kick would be a black mage. I was always drawn to intellect and mages tend to be quiet people(and one of the least likely to get into trouble!). I would be interested in the knowledge they would have to offer.

So yeah, the class you would be and your partner(if you want one.) and why!

I would be a rogue. I'd just put all my points in hide in shadows and lock picking, go live in the wilderness and occasionally return to restock food and supplies from people's larders.

Would probably dual class as a mage in the conjurer specialisation if given the opportunity. Would use familiars and summons, with proficiency in bows.

I'd be something like a warrior mage: specialized in melee weaponry and magic. As for the type of magic, it would be either restoration or elemental. Preferably both.

In my games I was something like a battle mage with ability to heal and resurrect if needed (but I hated it if it was my main role - I really preferred to have a priest in team so I could focus on fighting). I was the perfect support - damage deal when needed, heal when needed, always busy but ready to act, never bored.

At the moment we have one rouge and 3 mages. I wonder if everybody is going to pick mage or have magical abilities? If we were to go on an adventure we would be some squishy people. One cyclops swing and we're out!

Not with me in team. I was with a squishy archer in team once, fighting a boss dealing 90%HP hits with one hit to any of us. But we managed to kill it, with my healing. It was really stressful but manageable. My healing abilities were not a joke even though I preferred my battle skills. I focused on building "- casting time" equipment to be able to act fast in any situation and I had enough magical power to heal full a squishie using one spell so dangerously low HP wasn't as scary.
And I was also used to soloying bosses - I had a spell "heal continously for 9secs after getting a hit" that was healing about 30% hp each sec so I could tank bosses dealing less than 60% hp dmg/sec to me, with a repeated combination of "heal, hit, heal, hit, heal, dot heal, heal, hit...".


BTW. I wonder if the preference for mage/rouge has something to do with sensory issues and not wanting to deal with the oponent bodily fluids in close combat situations?

I generally pick tanks or healers depending on my mood. Anything with dps isn't really my thing. So if you need a tank I'll pick a paladin, or priest if I was healing. So yeah I'm greedy and have two

I prefer Fighters, sometimes Mages, and I for some reason love crossbows.

I would be a white mage as well. They are the least likely to get in trouble, and avoid fighting if it is possible. I do not handle confrontations very well, especially with people I trust.

an eccentric fighter that specializes in the use of wooden swords, and unarmed combat... or a stoic neko-mancer that distracts everything with cats.

the closest gotten to that fighter was probably in "skyrim"... had a wooden toy sword enchanted with paralysis and fear named rebellion, and also wore full daedric armor along with heavy armor boost enchantments and skills to optimize the damage output for punching stuff out, like legendary dragons after shouting at them to land. as far as why? because it’s fun playing in strange ways you weren’t expected to.

why be a neko-mancer? because cats.

Mage or warrior, or some kind of warrior mage....

Right now in skyrim my character is kinda like that, I've been using one handed weapons, light armour and magic abilities...sometimes I switch to the mage robes but I am not skilled enough to do that in most battles thus far...I need armour lol. Lol I kinda wonder if its possible to carry a shield and use a magic ability instead of a weapon, then I could still bash enemies with the shield and burn or freeze them or whatever.

I would have used healing magic in skyrim but I didn't really need it and the AI in skyrim tend to be rather...stupid.(such as running into giants and dying.) If I remember correctly I think you can use magic and a shield together.

Probably a Paladin. I like light/holy magic and being the tank. Paladins are also the closest to a Mage Knight, which I would choose, but it isn't common for games to have that class.

Red Mage (Neutral) Necromancer.

The Plan B option when healing in battle isn't enough, I will try to resurrect you.

I noticed, everyone that replied to the thread did not have a teammate. Is it that you all didn't want one or forgot that option was available?

I'm usually a mage of some sort. I like the variety of things available, since the games I usually play don't restrict you to one kind of magic. I also thought magic was cool as a kid, and now it's what I'm used to playing as, so it's what I'm best as. If I had a partner, I'd probably choose some sort of knight/warrior - someone good with a sword and shield.
