In typical metalhead fashion I tend to pick whatever has a dark magic aesthetic, like Necromancers and Warlocks

MODERATORS
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.
Thief/rogue and I'll go in hard in speech stuff if that's part of it.
60% chance I pick mage (except in WoW, mage is boring and actual satan if we're talking classic)
40% chance I pick a sword and board fighter or warrior, it ain't much, but its honest work
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
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.
Warlock
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
You playing anything cool right now pal? i always worry about you man, you and i lived pretty similarly for awhile (fathers picking fights with us and demeaning us)
Trying out some Darks Ages by Nexon rn. Thanks for your concern comrade.
