Through my years of mmo and rpg gaming I've tended to swing between the two extremes of the warrior/wizard dynamic.

Some days I just want to be a dumb tank in full armor soaking up hits and acting as a wall for squishier classes. But then there's days where I love being a glass cannon that can kill something in 1-2 nukes but a strong breeze can kill me.

The least fun I've head with a class was as a healer druid in Everquest. Something so stressful about the party relying on you for heals and if you wipe it's generally your fault. idk how people dedicate themselves to a class like that.

It depends on the game, really.

MMOs, give me healer, all day long. I honestly do enjoy it, but I'm also willing to give out as good as I can take. It gets easier when you learn what you're looking at, like no, DPS standing in fire, I won't heal your constant damage ticks you can avoid over the tank who can't avoid their incoming.

Solo play, if I can, social skills! Lemme talk the enemy into giving up. Lemme turn their entire army against them without firing a shot. If that's not available, some kinda Spellblade or Summoner. Gimme that mix of magic and smack you in the face, be it on my own or while my ferret companion climbs up your shirt.
