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.

Something that can fight solo, but with my social skills maxxed out. Picked up this habit because of Bioware RPGs I'm sure, because I didn't want to miss dialogue options but I also didn't want the game's boss fights or sections where you don't have party members to completely screw me over. Jedi Guardian in KOTOR, Paladin in Baldur's Gate, Guns/Medicine/Speech in Fallout, etc.

In MMOs I play tank all the time every time. Why? Because the tank is inarguably the protagonist of the party. Every other player is a member of the supporting cast, following ME as I go on my epic adventure. The instant dungeon queues are nice too.
