Preferred Character class in Fantasy RPGs

Which do you prefer? And yes, I'm doing this in anticipation of Dragon Age :P

I almost invariably chose melee classes, but in WoW my favorite character was my enhancement shaman. Loved the mix of cracking skulls and throwing out lightning bolts.

What class do you prefer?

I get the impression that this is going to be locked sooner or later,,,,

I like to try out all classes. probably start out feeling the game as melee character, then play thief-like, then mage-y.

depends on the game, but generally assassin/rogue or a spellcaster

in oblivion im like a mixture, although im mainly an archer i do use swords and magic quite a bit

I decided that for my first playthrough of Oblivion ESIV, I would be a barbarian, because if all else fails, just smash your way through:D. My next go round will definitely be as an assassin though.

Normally either an archer or melee type character 'cause I'm boring like that.

I like classes like Paladin and Knight. Heavily armed, heavily armoured, heavily heavy characters that can run up and slice up dozens of baddies in a few minutes.

I always like to rock the long range damage dealing spell caster. Now I actually did not follow my usual path when picking for Aion. But in WoW I had a mage and loved the PoM Pyro combo. It all depends on the game though if you have to play solo its always nice to have enough health to survive bosses.

No matter how often I try to do ranged or magic, I always end up melee just because its the easier way to play, enemies allways rush in at me.

Melee fighter, a paladin or something like that if available.

i like balanced characters. like in Oblivion i was a Breton. i like to use magic and be able to get into some CQ combat everyonce in a while. so a breton was perfect.

I love sneak classes. There's just something about all the damage bonuses you get from putting a knife in someone's back when they aren't looking.

a summoner.. :D.. i'd like my minions to do my fighting for me.:P

In WoW my main was a hunter, but then I made a healer druid and elemental shaman. I'd say my preferred class is healer/ magic damage. I avoid melee at all cost...

battlemage because i love to use spells as i close the distance the sommon a monster to assist me the use my sword and use healing spells

Paladin - heavy armor and curative abilities, weak to moderate attack.

depends on the game. but mostley some sort of balance between melee and range. for games like Elder Scrolls-thief/assassin, but in WoW i LOVE my Enhanced Shaman

It does depend on the game though, in some games it is very hard to survive at all if you're not a fighter.

Palantas

I love playing as elemental area dmg.
