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.

Mostly caster classes because they're more visually interesting than martial classes. Yeah, attack animations can get pretty cool, but I don't care how many flips/spins/tricks a martial character does, they're not going to stack up with most of the stuff a caster can bust out, especially when it comes to late-game spells.

I tend to be anything that has Ice/Frost Magic. If not that, than any healer.

Thief/rogue and I'll go in hard in speech stuff if that's part of it.

Always some type of caster. Preferably with tons of CC and weird spell options, but I'll take a nuke wizard if that isn't available.

Tank or Healer. Sometimes stealth

I will do a magic user every now and then but that is rare. Last time I did was Torchlight 2

in a single player RPG I'm a basic ass heavy armor tank with as much social skill as the game allows for. in an MMO I'm basically any form of utility, I like the extra thought that goes into being a tank or healer. dps tends to have a clear correct way to hit your buttons in every encounter in the entire game and the better you are at hitting your buttons exactly that way the better a dps you are. but tank and healer can have a slightly more nuanced thought process involving risk and reward and whatnot

It totally depends on the Genre. In diablo style games I go for the kitey shooty usually bow/crossbow class. In tab targeting games its always a heal over time class. In more TTRPG inspired games I love rogues. In party based games I love whatever class lets me stack the most buffs. Thats just the crunch though.

Overall I love druidic vibes. The class fantasy of nature fighting back is too juicy for me. There is something so wholesome about murdering corrupt priests/kings with pagan power. My go to class in just about every game is a wood elf druid.

The druid class hall in WoW Legion is a perfect representation for why I love them so much. Its just this perfect lil grove and someone wants to corrupt it. Stopping them is the simplest strongest motivation for me.
