Thief would be my way to go ^^ I always like a stealthy sneaky approach.

[Light of Night 332]

Thief.  I'm little more suited to finesse over force.

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,440]

I am by far the mage. ^-^ Being able to control different types of magic is amazing on its own, with its own elemental powers, but being able to support my group with healing spells as well defensive buffs, that is the best part.

[Memory Lane 131]

I always choose mage or the least confrontational class.

[CaptainDoubloon 856]

Fighter, I'm fond of having lots of STR in rpg's.

[KlutsyDraconequus 120]

Healer, Mage, or Thief but rarely am I directly involved in such things as a tank role.

And maybe some mind-buffs for our politicians.

There's just something fun about seeing a crossbow bolt stick a man to a wall exactly at the same time as you slice his friend's throat open, or pickpocket someone whilst they talk to your incognito accomplice. I most enjoy a mix of mobility-based magic and good ol' sneaky steel. Being able to teleport behind an unsuspecting victim is quite fun, and turning invisible is also wonderful. Thief over mage if there had to be a clean-cut choice. Fighter is most definitely my least preferred playstyle.

[OmegaBeamOfficial 622]

Fighter of course! Though you forgot one other class... The Jew. (DISCLAIMER: I have nothing against Jews, it's just meant to be a nod to something.)

[Discordian 6,015]

Fighter definitely. Stack up as much damage as quickly as I can. The strength of ten men.

It should be illegal to link me to TvTropes.org. I could spend the rest of my life there.

[Thuja 3,659]

Whenever I play a game, I tend to play someone that charges head first into battle.  I'm probably not suited for that, personally.  I'll probably be better off as a mage.

[FlutteringDweamz 2,086]

I wanna be a mage! Having magic could be fun Also, it doesn't always have to be offencive magic. I could be a white mage who heals my friends so no icky fighting for me lol

 

Umn, no offence *doesn't like violence very much xD*

I've always been the mage. It's a lot of fun having flashy spells or being able to heal allies. I could never get into close range classes as thieves don't fit my play style and the typical warrior isn't really that interesting in terms of combat.

I'd probably go for mage.

 

Wow, you just got me thinking about this MMORPG game, in which I happen to play mage...

[TigerGeekGuy 4,662]

I like to support my group/team rather than be an actual fighter. I haven't actually played any multiplayer RPG games with others, so I'm a bit unfamiliar with this. However, based on the descriptions of the different choices, I'd say I'm somewhere between thief and mage, but leaning a bit more towards mage. Since I like to play Sniper, Medic, and Engineer in TF2, all weaker classes that are not expected to do the most fighting, I'd say this is a pretty close choice.

When I was younger, playing D&D with my brother, I was always a fighter (mostly because he was and I was just copying him), but nowadays I think I'd be better suited to be a thief. I like being stealthy and sneaking around to accomplish my goals under the radar.  :ninja:

[Snow Frostflame 3,568]

In single player RPGs I'm usually the thief that casts spells, and uses a knife... though in MMORPGs I'm usually a sneaky spell caster that spams DOTs on the enemy team while hiding behind all the melee classes... So I'd say a mixture between the mage, and thief...

[Darkwhip 28]

Mage, because the wizard is undeterred.

Plus you get elemental manipulation and at some points you can create golems conjure daemons, or supplies, dispel and cast curses, transform, it's just so much, over just being dextrous or swift and strong

[Lambdadelta 1,462]

Definitely mage, cuz spells are awesome and flashy 

[Justin_Case001 4,885]

For real?  I'd want to be a mage.  I think that would be by far the most fun.  But in games with the classic tropes, I usually pick fighter types.  In traditional rpgs, everybody knows that mages are suicide.  They're made of tissue paper.  Take original Final Fantasy for example: for a first run-through, most people go for the balanced party--fighter, thief, black mage, white mage.  On my second run, I did four fighters.  It was cheat mode.  Like, you're f*cking god.  The ultimate masochistic challenge is four white mages.

[Dynamo Pad 11,296]

Out of the three classes I would probably be a mage class. I like fighting from a distance and it would be pretty awesome using elemental types of magic. 

[AccountNoLongerUsed 741]

Bard. I'm the type of being to use words as my weapon.

Reminds me of this Boba Fett quote: "Circumstances, rather than desires, dictate my actions. That's why I'm still a bounty hunter, and you're not."
