In RPGs and the like is there a class that you love to play all the time, and why is it that you like the class?

Probably already been asked, but I was just wondering and I'm kinda new here :P

Myself, I enjoy playing rogue classes like assassin/thief
Because I like the shadows and I love stealthy abilities
Except in Diablo 2(expansion) my biggest char is a paladin and I like playing my pally in D2 cos Assassins are kinda boring in it

Fighter/Barb
I like this class because all i need to worry about is getting strong and lots of HP's and walking in and smashing shit.
I get confused looking for my binds for spells and crap.

Fighter/Barb - for all the reasons Knight has said.

Depends on the game, but as a genral rule of thumb, im the Tank class in any RPG.

Reason:
Caus spellcasters are f4gs :P

yeah i'm usually the warrior or barbarian, also for the reason that i like to blow the shit out of things, and find tweaking and learning spells a bit too tedious

Support. As weird as it may seem, I enjoy it a lot. Considering there aren't many and to be a good support (healer/buffer, etc) is difficult, so in the end it's a challenge and is good to know your the one who keeps your party alive (hopefully) :P

Then there is the downside to your class... everyone tries to use you, and you end up getting a lot of idiots, etc.

But when it comes to offensive type, easy the archer/bow user of the game. Always strong fast, quick to lvl, and looks the best imo :P Mages/Spell Casters are pretty good, always fun to play because you can do a lot of different things, but I find them best in parties (big parties). Myself personally prefer to go as a couple or 3 people, in some games/areas this is a bit hard though :P

Ranger/Archer/Hunter type.

Little bit of magic, lots of dexterity and has to be very quick. Usually I combine this with an Elf/Half-Elf race... too much Baldur's Gate 2 :O
