Asura Strike Monk in Ragnarok Online because it's whole deal was dumping every single resource you have into monumentally fricking over one person with one huge attack that drains all your shit
I usually play nimble assassin-ish classes OR the class with the biggest fricking weapon, depending on how I feel. I never liked casters, or ranged in general.
In WoW specifically I play healers, because it's the only game that was able to make healing fun. Holy Paladin in Retail is great.
It isn't even THAT meme build, you can farm with it if you also have a professor (to give you mana after asura strike) and a priest (to heal the professor after he gives you mana and health converts himself to death).
how's the red mage in ff14 vs ff11 if you've played both?
I never played 11, but I was so disappointed when I tried Red Mage in 14. I assume it was a true hybrid class, like in the single-player FF games. But in reality it's the second most boring and unimaginative caster ever designed in a videogame, first place goes to mages in Lineage 2 rofl.
All you do is fill-up a meter by casting the same two abilities over on over for a minute, fill up a meter, dump that meter by casting THREE melee attacks, and then you go back to casting for another minute. What the frick is this?!
warrior until they ruined them in wrath
DK until they ruined the rune system
DH was fun in legion but i havent played retail since so they probably ruined them too
>DK until they ruined the rune system
Yeah hitting BS every so often to flip orphan blood runes because blizzard was too lazy to give Frost anything to do with them was super engaging and didn't feel bad at all.
>warrior until they ruined them in wrath
Same. Loved playing arms pvp so much in vanilla and tbc and watched laintimes videos a million times. In wrath i could not even bring myself to get to level 80
started playing 11 and its so clunky and weird that it actually keeps me engaged and i only start zoning out when im killing enemies. which is to say, ive been enjoying my time ALOT and havent been this immersed in a world or game in a long time.
I just rotate most of the classes around, generally doing something different each time. Most recently I'm playing on a Wrath server as a demo warlock and having a good time.
the elementalist in gw2 is really fun. Being able switch between ice, fire, earth, and lighting on the fly really makes you fell like a elemental magic user.
Stance Dancing Warrior in Classic and Headbutt Warrior in Guild Wars 2. Stance dancing makes you feel like you're playing at 100% which is very fun. Headbutt Warrior in GW2 was THE definition of burst in any MMO I've played.

Should I play WoW Classic? Ideally I would want fresh Classic servers that are not already on Wrath of the Lich King so old content won’t be dead, but Hardcore seems to be popping and I am not opposed to the challenge. After discovering Classic EverQuest it really got me wanting to try WoW Classic. Also watching Asmongold. But frick Season of Discovery. Looking forward to Classic+ official servers though. Not interested in the design of Retail at all. Advice?
one of the bigger private servers is launching a fresh vanilla server that will progress through WOTLK in a couple weeks, and you don't have to pay Blizzard
>But frick Season of Discovery. >Looking forward to Classic+ official servers though
My zoomer friend... Classic was dying during vanilla and officially died during TBC. WotlK had some elements of classic left in it though the player base reflected more of a retail mindset but Cata is nothing but retail design in every regard. SoD is also a microcosm of retail design. You're way too fricking late to the party
>Also watching Asmongold
Try this, form an opinion, a desire that is not dictated by marketing homosexuals like a Streamer. Make no mistake, Streamers are not your friends, they couldn't give a shit about you they are paid advertisements for games, it didn't start that way but that is what they are now.
Please for the love of frick don't fall for it.
Yeah SJ is pretty neat. Brutes were pretty neat too. I remember I had a Electric/Shield Brute with Super Jump so I could have THREE jump teleports into mobs.
i just made an axe/bio scrapper and the fricking damage is unreal, seeing constant 200-400s at level 30 when my lvl 50 tanker farts out 80s and the occasional 100

Melee focused Rangers (for that Aragorn vibe) and Paladins. Unfortunately Classic era sucked at both of those things. So I typically played Rogue.
But SoD might well fix this.
Well I make them target me, what's the issue
Full party of arbalests/archers can't do shit point blank, unless everything like appetite for destruction is discharged (and it won't be, just to kill a single tank)
They usually just reposition themselves when I dive in
For WoW, it was priest when I played "seriously". Coming back on and off throughout the year, I went with more braindead rogue and hunter. My ideal classes are usually support type, DoT classes, or engineer types. When I play a healer, I need a gimmick like Rift's Chloromancer or all the fun gimmick heal classes Ascension has.
Hunter and any class/job that is similar, I really like having a companion to fight alongside me especially when I can choose said companion from a large pool of options.

For WoW specifically I mained Druid, it was nice being able to freely switch between melee/ranged DPS, tank or heal depending on what I need/want to do.
14 doesn't have a support role, it runs the basic trinity, so it's essentially just a normal DPS in design. I believe they tried to emulate the jobs appearance in older FF titles so it doesn't really share much with the 11 version.
I haven't gotten to play it in anything but one game, but Blue Mage is my favorite. It being so versatile and traits changing depending on which spells and abilities you equip makes it the most interesting class I've seen in a MMORPG. Too bad no other game I've played has come close to having something as cool as that, though Shaman in WoW was also fun.
At this point being a second class citizen is better than being a full citizen in multiple cases. Look at WHM and BRD and tell me their lot is better than that of a BLU just because they can do more dungeons and trials and raids.
What's so bad about it, is the entire look is cool but bunny ears just makes me want to laugh at it at how homosexual they are. You're trying to be some dark edgy Reaper but have the most non-threatening tall bunny ears that just make it look like a joke. You know that right? Or was that your intention?
TERA's berserker, I don't main it anymore.
I liked it because of it's charge attacks and the active nature of blocking, it felt very robust and was fun for soloing content and had a good balance of aoe and single target attacks and did very big individual number hits.
Used to be fun hunting BAMs with that, back when they mattered at all.
ESO Necro Health Tank because I can live the fantasy of a necromancer while also playing a tank, the only 3 of the holy trinity I play.
New Arcanist Tank is fun, but though it hasnt gotten its nerfs yet.
Retail WoW it would be Blood DK, blood sacrifice thematic reasons, great solo and looks fricking cool.
Veng DH is also neat, much prefer plate but the added mobility for the offset with Leather makes up for it. Solo viability also.
Ascension WoW I run a solo parry tank/DPS hybrid that focuses on healing from bleeds because I can take Titans Grip, which is what I wish I could run in every game I play. Dual Wielding 2H weapons. Group content I switch to a stronger version of Prot Paladin.
SWTOR Sith Juggernaut, though that was pre rework and opening up the class systems. Would dual wield lightsabers now if I played.
I tend to have a specific archetype or set of themes I always build into, and its always tank focused. Love me the evil.
And yet blade of justice is infinitely more satisfying to press than confeitor because it has an actual meaty CLANG sound effect compared to the barely audible shit in XIV.
>can copy other player's skills to use whatever build you want >can make other players useless in pvp/gvg by stripping them of their gear >can just walk while hidding and frick off >if other players are gay and spamming detecting skills you can hide even harder and frick off
Look at this smug butthole you just know you don't want to deal with him.
Every single class in RO is so fricking cool. Because they didn't give a shit about balance or fairness, they just designed the coolest abilities they could think of. Same with gear, some cards had crazy effects.
Imagine adding a card that makes you immune to ALL magic effects. But it's a 0.01% drop from a boss that respawns once every two hours. It was like those "you're teleported into an MMO world!!" animes... but the actual game is like this. If someone finds a GTB card, the entire server knows: he is THE guy who is immune to magic.
And then they utterly fricked the classes completely, all the time invested in your class was wasted as it either became utterly garbage or completely changed in role. >Knight went from tank to ranged AOE DPS that ignored half the reductions in the game >Paladin went from pure tank to ranged ST DPS that can just nuke you for fun >HP became useless >Champ went from single target fist prostitute to AOE nuker >WS became a jihadist that blows themself up then becomes dead weight >BC decided having a spammable high damage nuke wasn't enough, so lets make it AOE >HW went from AoE DPS to Support because their DPS was piss poor >Prof went from pure support to aoe DPS with flinchlocking on cloudkill being the only AoE magic worth using in WoE >Sniper went from ranged menace to a meme >Bard/dancer went from support b***h to ranged DPS nuker with a skill that makes your opponent unable to touch you >Assassin got invisible buffed because you don't see anyone play them anymore due to how little damage they do >Stalkers got the most ridiculous 1v1mebro skills with manhole and shadow form
The last time I played, Cursed Monastery was considered a new dungeon. So... what was a long time ago. I have no idea what happened to the game after that.
Does Guild Wars count as an MMO? All of its classes were amazing, but Monk was hilarious from the get-go and Protective Spirit made some very interesting tactics (at the time, at least) possible.
I played Age of Conan very briefly, but it had a melee healer that healed by whacking enemies. That was fun.
>Favourite MMORPG (class)
Tank, it has to be. Tanking in FF14 is so fricking satisfying. >Favourite MMORPG
FF14, if you're wondering why? It's obvious, the cute chicks who play.
The magic is gone, for you because you grew older but stuck with the exact same game expecting it to somehow give you a different experience. You changed but refused to move on.
Nah the private servers hit exactly the same. It's basically all in the amount of miserable minmaxing autists. The more people that just want to have fun, the more the magic returns.
I'll agree with you on that, minmaxing gays ruin the atmosphere of mmo's. They keep talking about "I do this because I don't want my time wasted" then spend 30k hours over 20 years in the same fricking game. Imagine instead of being completely sweaty, minmaxing, being a turbo autist they spent that time enjoying the atmosphere, the journey, having fun.
MMO's are always going to be plagued by these complete homosexuals, part of me thinks the solution is to remove shit like raids completely if you have an mmo so you don't get these c**ts sweating out the game then going on Twitter or the forums and complaining or making videos and crying about how this class is unbalanced because it does 1% more dps than this other class.
No, this isn't true at all. In Lord of the Rings they don't even fight Sauron in the end but guess what? It didn't matter because it was all about the journey.
If you can't make the journey a fun experience your mmo is a failure which is why New World failed, Lost Ark failed and every new MMO that releases, which follow the old mantra of raids and poopsocking endgame being the content and having a mediocre journey will all fail.

Well, for me if there's no journey it's barely even an MMO. It's a Monster Hunter-like. Which doesn't mean it's a bad videogame, but it's not an MMO.

Hey dipshit, it's what Vanilla WoW was based on. It's pretty damning evidence that when WoW deviated from that original design philosophy of the Tolkien Journey, and turned it into raid logging is when the game went to complete shit and fell off.

Nah, I really don't think such major changes had 0 impact.
Well - the answer is pretty much the same every time regardless >FOR GAMEPLAY >Warrior / Knight / Barbarian / Paladin (sometimes)
I like being the big moron who hits shit really, really hard. I don't need complex bullshit. I just want to hit really hard with a huge sword or axe or hammer.
I don't really care much for what that entails. Just as long as I can get up close to someone and then hit them really, really hard. With a big weapon. I could be a Knight in shining armor or a Paladin or a Barbarian. It doesn't really matter.
Thematically - I like the idea of edgy stuff. Like Necromancy or Warlocks or some kind of Shadow Magic Assassin or something. But I rarely ever have the patience for that kind of playstyle. Everytime I try it, I end up just running in and dying or playing it wrong and I end up wishing I could just hit people again.
Spellblades, but almost no game in existence does them right. They're always either too much mage or too much warrior. Enhancement Shaman gets close, but the fantasy is different as a Shaman. I want to be an arcane enhancer, not a nature enhancer.
As far as MMO's go, I've only really played GW2. Revenant was basically my main, and the class I personally liked the most. Last I played I had fully switched over to a full alacrity Kalla rev.
Don't know why exactly, it's just the one that worked me and I took a liking to. Neither braindead nor complicated, I like that middle ground.
Oh man, I was so disappointed with mining when I tried EVE Online. >mining in space, so cool! >it's a laser that shoots at asteroids while your ship stands in place forever and does nothing
How the frick does it work anyway, how does shooting laser at the asteroid "mine" it?
Fractures the asteroid with laser pulses and tractors in the shards.
And yeah, mining is only really great for large fleets when you have a foreman directing things with scouts and haulers to back things up. Just showing up at an asteroid belt anywhere and mining cheap, plentiful ore solo is pretty soul crushing, it looks like you never make progress in cutting the belt down to size nor does your cargohold fill up with any real speed.
Basically none. I played solo off and on from 2013 on forward because I just like to log in occasionally to shoot npc ships in space and collect the loot with different ships. Then in 2021 I decided to actually try and start up a group again so I could do higher end content like I used to.
Playing solo just handicaps you too much for just about anything in the game, there's a few things worth doing solo in the game but the majority is far more efficient and fun with people. Although CCP did add the Abyss which is for solo, duo, or trio players to do.
I never made it past 30 in mmos because I'm bad at making friends. Always played mages or warlocks, but currently leveling an elemental shaman on wotlk and it's very fun. I like burst damage, controlling multiple mobs and casters in general I guess.
the assasin on grand fantasia ,the game was p2w so the one who payed more could solo dungeons like crazy , if the assasin locked himself to lvl 40 he could farm special "war coins" at some big pvp match to buy exclusive stuff from a shop: >goes invisible >kills some squishy enemy healer >goes invisible again >repeat
I've played since vanilla, quit in cataclysm and have come back to sample the classes, leveling, and current endgame content once per expansion until Legion.
The best MMO class of all time is hyper specifically launch DPS demon hunters. The momentum build.
Momentum build is as follows: >Demon Hunters have 3 movement abilities, 2 charges of a dash and a backflip, momentum made it so that you do 50% more damage for a few seconds after using one of these abilities >Auto attacks generate your resources, once you reach a critical mass in certain stats you are guaranteed to never run out >Only one spender move, glaive throw that applies a bleed, and a few neat cooldown moves >Keyboard DDR rotation is essentially non consideration, keep your bleed up and go momentum triggering ability->spender x2 >Entire gameplan comes from positioning in the fight instead of from your rotation like every other MMO class in existence, feels like a pseudo action game
[...]
nukes it from the game because Pajeets keep disconnecting from the server every other time they use fel rush or the backflip
I will never forgive Blizzard, the Legion content was still pretty good after Momentum build DH got gutted but I just couldn't stomach playing as Nemesis build DH. The literal only reason I didn't sample Shadowlands/BFA/etc is I know my Demon Hunter would just suck to play
>7
Rogue because no I won't go kill every single mob that comes in my way and blocks my path. I will kill only the quest specific stuff. Also ganking with invis is fun.
i like playing druid, if not that then usually a pet class of some kind. in wow i also like shaman because they shoot lightning and it looks cool. >this will never be you
I'm too hungover to remember what class I played think it may have been the summoner, was debating about getting back into actually but it's seems unapproachable nowadays
t. american that was unhealthy obsessed with dead b***hes, still kind of am
Dancer might be one of my favorite class concepts in a game.
I fricking love the idea of fighting by dancing about. Feels like you're doing the ultimate disrespect of your foe by seemingly not taking the fight seriously.
I also greatly loved Tera's Berserker. Big axe go bonk and the whole class was all about making those meaty charged up attacks. I'd say i like the idea of it more than Dancer, but it's not something you'll ever really see outside of Tera.
complete newbie here, is there an mmo that actually feels like an adventure or are all just fetch quests, checklists, shitton of buttons onscreen and weird combat?
They used to feel like an adventure, but nowadays everything is found, calculated and optimized before the server is even online, so unless you manage to cloister yourself from that knowledge and metagays you're screwed.
DK, spellblades and summons are my jam.
After that enhance shammy, for the same reason.

I like rogues/assassins thematically but gameplay wise I usually just play hunters/bowkeks

shaman and i like being able to cast and do melee..
I started 11 in 2023 and was instantly hooked into the game, too bad its sub based and my life sucks so i wont pay for sub
Warrior. Charge mostly. Class fantasy as a secondary reason.
I just rotate most of the classes around, generally doing something different each time. Most recently I'm playing on a Wrath server as a demo warlock and having a good time.

GW1 Mesmer
Interesting class based on hexing and countering enemy strategies.
GW1 pvp was a thing of beauty, and mesmer really made it shine.
forever mad at how hard GW2 dumpstered the build diversity of GW1
I miss how GW1 Mesmer was a denial-based class that infuriated everyone else. They'd probably get nerfed to the ground these days.
>these days
GW2 utterly destroyed Mesmer more than a decade ago
I don't think they destroyed them as much as totally changed how they work in a new game.
>changed it from an incredibly unique control-type class to a straight damage dealer (and later a tank for some fricking reason)
d e s t r o y e d
to be fair, every class in gw2 is either a dps or a tank
GW1 had great class design.
It will always be tank mainly because i have trust issues.
Drood but most games make them gay or shit or both. Diablo really burned me.
Rogue typically, but also berserker classes like Choppa from WAR. Warrior felt too safe, and too easy to kite.
Mage/wizard types but they have to feel like proper atomic artillery and not just any other ranged guy with flashier particle effects.
undead rogue
GW1 Paragon

To this day for me it's Warrior Priest from Warhammer Online. A proactive healer class done right.
Everquest Enchanter, tons of fun utility stuff and I like setting up a nice mes farm

i love classes that make other class do their job better and im sad that mmos don't have support roles
i think that Tank dps support healer is better then tank dps dps support healer

rigger
hiding your body and controlling the drones is fun, essentially money is your hp due to the disposable nature of the tool
Melee focused Rangers (for that Aragorn vibe) and Paladins. Unfortunately Classic era sucked at both of those things. So I typically played Rogue.
But SoD might well fix this.
Paladin seems to be a beast in SoD. But we'll have to see how good it really is in comparison to other classes. Either way, I'm rolling Paladin.
Temple Knight from Lineage 2.
You can not be killed.
yeah because no one targets you.
love the game. still play even. but everything that wasnt ranged was useless in pvp
Well I make them target me, what's the issue
Full party of arbalests/archers can't do shit point blank, unless everything like appetite for destruction is discharged (and it won't be, just to kill a single tank)

Wizards/Mages. I also really like Necromancers, but I don't enjoy the way they're designed in most games that have them.

My ideal classes are usually support type, DoT classes, or engineer types. When I play a healer, I need a gimmick like Rift's Chloromancer or all the fun gimmick heal classes Ascension has.
Don't have a favorite class, but I do have favorite spells. Portals and mind control.
Any pet based class like ranger/hunter/summoner.
I just enjoy pet builds.
Hunter and any class/job that is similar, I really like having a companion to fight alongside me especially when I can choose said companion from a large pool of options.
anything with dots that heal you
whatever class lets me summon sexy demons to serve me
>mfw catholic priest was a literal class in World of Warcraft
I’m always just like… why? The priest class even had lay on hands as an ability and all of the armor looked like papal tiaras and mitres
Cleric is a staple RPG class
It’s not a cleric, it’s a priest you stupid fricking homosexual moron

This one, although I doubt any other game would be able to replicate what made it so fun.
how's the red mage in ff14 vs ff11 if you've played both?
All style no substance, like most jobs in FFXIV.
14 doesn't have a support role, it runs the basic trinity, so it's essentially just a normal DPS in design. I believe they tried to emulate the jobs appearance in older FF titles so it doesn't really share much with the 11 version.
Rezmage is getting a rework in 7.0, that and you want a Summoner in your party. If for Rez alone for me it's worth it for the DPS loss.
14 is shit.
Everything is locked into one role without even minor customization in gear.
BDO would be my ideal game if it actually had good PvE. I like a lot about it, but PvP just isn't y thing.
I haven't gotten to play it in anything but one game, but Blue Mage is my favorite. It being so versatile and traits changing depending on which spells and abilities you equip makes it the most interesting class I've seen in a MMORPG. Too bad no other game I've played has come close to having something as cool as that, though Shaman in WoW was also fun.
>you like being a blue mage? well too bad, you'll forever be a second class citizen rather than a proper job.
At this point being a second class citizen is better than being a full citizen in multiple cases. Look at WHM and BRD and tell me their lot is better than that of a BLU just because they can do more dungeons and trials and raids.
It's a shame, because Blue is actually super fun in xiv. I got all spells, had a blast running dungeons with it.
Holy dude. I like to pretend I'm not godless scum
FFXIV Reaper.
Scythe and dark magicks.
Wish there was more possibility to interact with the voidsent but yeah.
>Bunny ears
Anon, you're a homosexual.
Battle Bunny Riven says no
What's so bad about it, is the entire look is cool but bunny ears just makes me want to laugh at it at how homosexual they are. You're trying to be some dark edgy Reaper but have the most non-threatening tall bunny ears that just make it look like a joke. You know that right? Or was that your intention?
TERA's berserker, I don't main it anymore.
I liked it because of it's charge attacks and the active nature of blocking, it felt very robust and was fun for soloing content and had a good balance of aoe and single target attacks and did very big individual number hits.
Used to be fun hunting BAMs with that, back when they mattered at all.
Arms warrior
Protection warrior
and Holy paladin
I liked doing all jobs in full plate
ESO Necro Health Tank because I can live the fantasy of a necromancer while also playing a tank, the only 3 of the holy trinity I play.
New Arcanist Tank is fun, but though it hasnt gotten its nerfs yet.
Retail WoW it would be Blood DK, blood sacrifice thematic reasons, great solo and looks fricking cool.
Veng DH is also neat, much prefer plate but the added mobility for the offset with Leather makes up for it. Solo viability also.
Ascension WoW I run a solo parry tank/DPS hybrid that focuses on healing from bleeds because I can take Titans Grip, which is what I wish I could run in every game I play. Dual Wielding 2H weapons. Group content I switch to a stronger version of Prot Paladin.
SWTOR Sith Juggernaut, though that was pre rework and opening up the class systems. Would dual wield lightsabers now if I played.
I tend to have a specific archetype or set of themes I always build into, and its always tank focused. Love me the evil.
MoP/WoD Brewmaster Monk.
I used to love playing pure healers, now I prefer tanking and protecting others before they can even get hurt
Windfury attack!
Paladin
Because holy magic and shields are cool
And yet blade of justice is infinitely more satisfying to press than confeitor because it has an actual meaty CLANG sound effect compared to the barely audible shit in XIV.
You can hear something over the sound of BWWOOOOOOO RUN AWAY LITTLE GIRL RUN AWAY BWWOOOOOO?
Ret is not a real spec.
>Brownie Opinion
>Thrown into the trash
I like druids but druids always feel like they're massively gimped in wow.
>can copy other player's skills to use whatever build you want
>can make other players useless in pvp/gvg by stripping them of their gear
>can just walk while hidding and frick off
>if other players are gay and spamming detecting skills you can hide even harder and frick off
Look at this smug butthole you just know you don't want to deal with him.
God I miss the golden age of ro.
I miss having classes that aren't all the same.
Every single class in RO is so fricking cool. Because they didn't give a shit about balance or fairness, they just designed the coolest abilities they could think of. Same with gear, some cards had crazy effects.
Imagine adding a card that makes you immune to ALL magic effects. But it's a 0.01% drop from a boss that respawns once every two hours. It was like those "you're teleported into an MMO world!!" animes... but the actual game is like this. If someone finds a GTB card, the entire server knows: he is THE guy who is immune to magic.
And then they utterly fricked the classes completely, all the time invested in your class was wasted as it either became utterly garbage or completely changed in role.
>Knight went from tank to ranged AOE DPS that ignored half the reductions in the game
>Paladin went from pure tank to ranged ST DPS that can just nuke you for fun
>HP became useless
>Champ went from single target fist prostitute to AOE nuker
>WS became a jihadist that blows themself up then becomes dead weight
>BC decided having a spammable high damage nuke wasn't enough, so lets make it AOE
>HW went from AoE DPS to Support because their DPS was piss poor
>Prof went from pure support to aoe DPS with flinchlocking on cloudkill being the only AoE magic worth using in WoE
>Sniper went from ranged menace to a meme
>Bard/dancer went from support b***h to ranged DPS nuker with a skill that makes your opponent unable to touch you
>Assassin got invisible buffed because you don't see anyone play them anymore due to how little damage they do
>Stalkers got the most ridiculous 1v1mebro skills with manhole and shadow form
What the hell were they thinking.
The last time I played, Cursed Monastery was considered a new dungeon. So... what was a long time ago. I have no idea what happened to the game after that.
Does Guild Wars count as an MMO? All of its classes were amazing, but Monk was hilarious from the get-go and Protective Spirit made some very interesting tactics (at the time, at least) possible.
I played Age of Conan very briefly, but it had a melee healer that healed by whacking enemies. That was fun.
I literally like them all. Variety is the best. But generic fighter is always the first.
jack of all trades spellcaster(druid)
magic butthole with a minion(necromancer)
c**t in plate that can fight and cast spells(paladin/shadow knight)
warlock. every single time i go back to wow, i literally always roll a warlock. every single time. just don't want to play any other class, simple as.
I love droods. I can just turn into a bird and fly while all the pleb classes have to walk
I'm a summon kind of guy, any kind of summon class and im in so for wow I have always been a warlock. It's the best class
>Favourite MMORPG (class)
Tank, it has to be. Tanking in FF14 is so fricking satisfying.
>Favourite MMORPG
FF14, if you're wondering why? It's obvious, the cute chicks who play.
for me its sage
Priest because it was my first class. I really hate the direction they took shadow with. It looks fricking stupid
I miss early 2000s MMOs like you wouldn't believe. Magic's gone.
The magic is gone, for you because you grew older but stuck with the exact same game expecting it to somehow give you a different experience. You changed but refused to move on.
It changed from autism into turbo autism.
Nah the private servers hit exactly the same. It's basically all in the amount of miserable minmaxing autists. The more people that just want to have fun, the more the magic returns.
I'll agree with you on that, minmaxing gays ruin the atmosphere of mmo's. They keep talking about "I do this because I don't want my time wasted" then spend 30k hours over 20 years in the same fricking game. Imagine instead of being completely sweaty, minmaxing, being a turbo autist they spent that time enjoying the atmosphere, the journey, having fun.
MMO's are always going to be plagued by these complete homosexuals, part of me thinks the solution is to remove shit like raids completely if you have an mmo so you don't get these c**ts sweating out the game then going on Twitter or the forums and complaining or making videos and crying about how this class is unbalanced because it does 1% more dps than this other class.
Yeah, the exact opposite of what WoW did, by stripping away absolutely everything else.
>remove shit like raids completely
Final bosses are a staple of videogames for a reason. The "journey" sucks if there's no goal or final destination.
No, this isn't true at all. In Lord of the Rings they don't even fight Sauron in the end but guess what? It didn't matter because it was all about the journey.
If you can't make the journey a fun experience your mmo is a failure which is why New World failed, Lost Ark failed and every new MMO that releases, which follow the old mantra of raids and poopsocking endgame being the content and having a mediocre journey will all fail.
...Lord of the Rings is not a videogame.
>If you can't make the journey a fun experience your mmo is a failure
Well, for me if there's no journey it's barely even an MMO. It's a Monster Hunter-like. Which doesn't mean it's a bad videogame, but it's not an MMO.
>..Lord of the Rings is not a videogame.
Hey dipshit, it's what Vanilla WoW was based on. It's pretty damning evidence that when WoW deviated from that original design philosophy of the Tolkien Journey, and turned it into raid logging is when the game went to complete shit and fell off.
>Final bosses are a staple of videogames for a reason
>Well, in Lord of the Rings...
>Well in Lord of the Rings
Go on, who's the final boss in the Final movie?
I'm saying that's a stupid comparison, because it's a movie. Not a videogame.
It's Gollum by the way https://youtu.be/mUGNjJc8fyI?feature=shared
The movies were the the heaviest inspirations on WoW after Warhammer. Please don't reply if you don't know, ignorant people give me the same fatigue I feel when seeing blacks on the television.
I can't tell if you're serious or trolling. You can't even tell the difference between movies and videogames apparently.
>the movies
anon Fellowship came out like 7 years after Warcraft 1
did you mean the books?
>Old MMO
>Hang around outside dungeons using chat to make parties that could have a variety as you wasn't role-locked on entry
>You put stat and skill points in yourself to have a variety of builds
>Nu MMO
>Open a menu from wherever you are and click automatch and be filled by role always giving very similar parties
>Your stats are fixed and you learn all skills instantly by max level
Nah, I really don't think such major changes had 0 impact.
>gun man
>Big shot
>Bigger shot
>Biggest shot
I love it
For WoW or for RPG's in general?
Well - the answer is pretty much the same every time regardless
>FOR GAMEPLAY
>Warrior / Knight / Barbarian / Paladin (sometimes)
I like being the big moron who hits shit really, really hard. I don't need complex bullshit. I just want to hit really hard with a huge sword or axe or hammer.
I don't really care much for what that entails. Just as long as I can get up close to someone and then hit them really, really hard. With a big weapon. I could be a Knight in shining armor or a Paladin or a Barbarian. It doesn't really matter.
Thematically - I like the idea of edgy stuff. Like Necromancy or Warlocks or some kind of Shadow Magic Assassin or something. But I rarely ever have the patience for that kind of playstyle. Everytime I try it, I end up just running in and dying or playing it wrong and I end up wishing I could just hit people again.
Spellblades, but almost no game in existence does them right. They're always either too much mage or too much warrior. Enhancement Shaman gets close, but the fantasy is different as a Shaman. I want to be an arcane enhancer, not a nature enhancer.
MMOs play like shit, only pigs can enjoy that level of slop
>Warlock
>requires 0 skill whatsoever and I don't like tryharding
Rogue, invisible + opening things + kick stuff. Basically my favorite things in any RPG.
Anything that let's me summon THE BOYS.
I love mass summons in every game
As far as MMO's go, I've only really played GW2. Revenant was basically my main, and the class I personally liked the most. Last I played I had fully switched over to a full alacrity Kalla rev.
Don't know why exactly, it's just the one that worked me and I took a liking to. Neither braindead nor complicated, I like that middle ground.
the uninstall wizard
Rogue, it's just fun being able to stealth around indefinitely unlike most MMO's were stealth is an ability that lasts a few seconds.
Miner (Or any gatherer/crafter), building shit in a living, breathing world with other players is some of the most fun shit.
Oh man, I was so disappointed with mining when I tried EVE Online.
>mining in space, so cool!
>it's a laser that shoots at asteroids while your ship stands in place forever and does nothing
How the frick does it work anyway, how does shooting laser at the asteroid "mine" it?
Fractures the asteroid with laser pulses and tractors in the shards.
And yeah, mining is only really great for large fleets when you have a foreman directing things with scouts and haulers to back things up. Just showing up at an asteroid belt anywhere and mining cheap, plentiful ore solo is pretty soul crushing, it looks like you never make progress in cutting the belt down to size nor does your cargohold fill up with any real speed.
Is there even a SINGLE reason to play EVE solo?
Basically none. I played solo off and on from 2013 on forward because I just like to log in occasionally to shoot npc ships in space and collect the loot with different ships. Then in 2021 I decided to actually try and start up a group again so I could do higher end content like I used to.
Playing solo just handicaps you too much for just about anything in the game, there's a few things worth doing solo in the game but the majority is far more efficient and fun with people. Although CCP did add the Abyss which is for solo, duo, or trio players to do.
I never made it past 30 in mmos because I'm bad at making friends. Always played mages or warlocks, but currently leveling an elemental shaman on wotlk and it's very fun. I like burst damage, controlling multiple mobs and casters in general I guess.
Anyone who uses a bow was probably also that kid who liked digimon way too much while everyone else was playing pokemon gold and silver.
so the actual cool kids and not the trend chasers.
Dark Knight, because I'm still that edgy emo kid at heart.
the assasin on grand fantasia ,the game was p2w so the one who payed more could solo dungeons like crazy , if the assasin locked himself to lvl 40 he could farm special "war coins" at some big pvp match to buy exclusive stuff from a shop:
>goes invisible
>kills some squishy enemy healer
>goes invisible again
>repeat
Good stuff.
I've played since vanilla, quit in cataclysm and have come back to sample the classes, leveling, and current endgame content once per expansion until Legion.
The best MMO class of all time is hyper specifically launch DPS demon hunters. The momentum build.
Momentum build is as follows:
>Demon Hunters have 3 movement abilities, 2 charges of a dash and a backflip, momentum made it so that you do 50% more damage for a few seconds after using one of these abilities
>Auto attacks generate your resources, once you reach a critical mass in certain stats you are guaranteed to never run out
>Only one spender move, glaive throw that applies a bleed, and a few neat cooldown moves
>Keyboard DDR rotation is essentially non consideration, keep your bleed up and go momentum triggering ability->spender x2
>Entire gameplan comes from positioning in the fight instead of from your rotation like every other MMO class in existence, feels like a pseudo action game
nukes it from the game because Pajeets keep disconnecting from the server every other time they use fel rush or the backflip
I will never forgive Blizzard, the Legion content was still pretty good after Momentum build DH got gutted but I just couldn't stomach playing as Nemesis build DH. The literal only reason I didn't sample Shadowlands/BFA/etc is I know my Demon Hunter would just suck to play
>7
Rogue because no I won't go kill every single mob that comes in my way and blocks my path. I will kill only the quest specific stuff. Also ganking with invis is fun.
Necromancer
It looks impressive for AI art
i like playing druid, if not that then usually a pet class of some kind. in wow i also like shaman because they shoot lightning and it looks cool.
>this will never be you
The Arisen
I refuse to elaborate
That's a race, not a class.
Also shame what the publisher did to this game.
t. russian closed beta player
I'm too hungover to remember what class I played think it may have been the summoner, was debating about getting back into actually but it's seems unapproachable nowadays
t. american that was unhealthy obsessed with dead b***hes, still kind of am
keep making these "dead b***hes" threads m8

It's not that old and I'm not even 30 yet. I do feel old, though.
welp, I guess we all feel old nowdays huh
"Rogues do it where the sun don't shine" man, slash those cheeks wide open, that's the only right way
plus I look edgy as frick
Might make another thread later in the day, drank far too much last night need to grab more pictures as well
I love dead b***hes
Looks cool, it's mech auged undead? I also like spinal designs, for whatever reason.
They're basically less angry fantasy necrons who woke up recently
This pretty much I wish the game hadn't been so p2w but I enjoyed my time with it fondly regardless
The art style and designs are top notch
Oh shit, that was the mmo where one race was just 3 little furries right? Was really fun, too bad on launch it went full P2W.
> race was just 3 little furries
Yep, gibberlings.
Shaman in WoW, Summoner in FFXIV.
Anything that is blatantly RIGHTEOUS.
Or the pet class so I can play solo without feeling lonely.
haha
Shut up, Nelson!
You only play rogue classes so you can steal lunch meat from the cafeteria!
Warlocks.
I'd play a necromancer because Hecuba saying "Obey me!" is one of the oldest vidya quotes stuck in my head. Loved necromany since D2 and or Nox
Bonedancer from Dark Age of Camelot. In fact that game had the coolest classes of any MMO
Dancer might be one of my favorite class concepts in a game.
I fricking love the idea of fighting by dancing about. Feels like you're doing the ultimate disrespect of your foe by seemingly not taking the fight seriously.
I also greatly loved Tera's Berserker. Big axe go bonk and the whole class was all about making those meaty charged up attacks. I'd say i like the idea of it more than Dancer, but it's not something you'll ever really see outside of Tera.
Priest in RO specifically. I like healers, but I really like healers that give buffs out. I wish modern MMOs had buffing jobs again.
>priests in prontera with teleports to fun places
>would always get a free ride because they thought my attack speed knight was fun
I wanna go back, bro
complete newbie here, is there an mmo that actually feels like an adventure or are all just fetch quests, checklists, shitton of buttons onscreen and weird combat?
They used to feel like an adventure, but nowadays everything is found, calculated and optimized before the server is even online, so unless you manage to cloister yourself from that knowledge and metagays you're screwed.
>mage is a expert at taking hordes of enemies
>so if i'm a mage i can kill 10+ players alone? good i'll pick that
