Lol, you sound like my hubby.

I normally play a mage class in whatever game we're playing, but as we're playing WoW a lot at the moment my hubby's wannabe Conan play-style means I had to take the role of healer (no Dunkoro or Mhenlo to pull our fat out of the fire sadly), so I opted for Paladin. But my main character always carries my handle Saraphim, I use that on pretty much every web based app / forum / photo site I use, so she's always first.

I do have a hunter, and enjoy playing ranged / beastmaster roles as well. So I tend to roll that class in any game I play as well.

In other games I have always played healer/roguish types valuing speed over muscle. Guild Wars is the first RPG to come along where I enjoy every class, even the tank. I never play tanks in other games, but I quite like them in Guild Wars.

In Diablo 2 my character of choice was a wammo style paladin.

When I started GW my first character was a wammo style monk, with the same name (Friar Khan).

My second character in GW was a MM necro, just because I had avoided the necro class in D2.

I tend to play casters now (with much love for my Paragon that I've been too busy to level up). When I took a short break from GW to play Last Chaos I played casters but also made an assassin type so I could experience invisibility since that's absent in GW.

Design your own custom team with skimpy cheerleaders that look like 15k Druids?

In all the mmorpgs and other types of games that I've played in the past (Kal, Ran, Perfect World, 9 Dragons, and more), I've always used the same character name. I'm usually the warrior guy who specializes in causing confusion to the opposing player group in weird ways, and also killing the weakest one quickly. I also usually sacrifice myself in battles if needed so that the team could destroy the others

i've allways liked some sort of a hybrid class and for GW it was dervish(ofcourse after it came out) before that it was necro, usually minion master

erfweiss · Feb 16, 2008, 07:17 PM // 19:17

I used the same types of characters in in Diablo II as I do in GW.

I had two main chars in D2: A Javelin Amazon and a Necromancer. I miss the days of animated cows.

No surprise my main title char is a Paragon, along with having a Necromancer.

I've always gone for a rogue/ranger/assassin kind of character. My Morrowind char is a forester/rogue kind of person, my Oblivion character is a ranger. The last time I played Blades of Exile, my character was an assassin/warrior. My Guild Wars character is a Warrior, but Assassin wasn't out when I started GW.

Blu · Feb 16, 2008, 11:28 PM // 23:28

I've always started characters such as Rangers/Rogues and other classes that are excessively versitile.

Turtle222 · Feb 17, 2008, 12:05 AM // 00:05

As a rule, i always go for a fighter/warrior/barbarian/melee class

games such as Nwn series, Diablo series, baldur's gate series, etc etc as my first character

AuraofMana · Feb 17, 2008, 09:10 PM // 21:10

Baldur's Gate: Mage
Baldur's Gate 2: Wizard
Icewind Dale: Wizard
Icewind Dale 2: Wizard
Neverwinter Nights: Wizard
Neverwinter Nights 2: Wizard
GW: Necromancer
Diablo: Sorcerer
D2: Necromancer
WOW: Mage
FFXI: Black Mage
Nox (best game ever imo): Wizard
HG: Cabalist

Hell, even in KOTOR and KOTOR 2 I was Sith Lord-type :/

Laethis · Feb 19, 2008, 04:52 PM // 16:52

I always go for the mage-kinda class, especially classes such as elementalist, because of the idea of casting spells with fire, frost, lightning.. On oblivion I played as a mage. When I tried WoW (which I dont like much

) I was a Mage/Druid. Heck, on any game I start off as a spellcaster.

TwinRaven · Feb 19, 2008, 09:56 PM // 21:56

As someone suggested, I was looking for same character vs. same character type, however, we all play along a certain spectrum of possibilities. While some always play the same profession, they may play it a short, frumpy dwarf or a tall elegant elf.

I tend to make my character look very similar if possible and pick the same types of skill sets. For example, I like pets so I play rangers with a dedicated animal companion. In GW it's pretty strait forward, and I can replicate this in Morrowind/Oblivion with the right mod, as in Perfect World when playing a Werebeast. All my characters tend to be dark skinned females with red/blond hair and have a variation of names including Raven. When I can't have a pet I pick my second favorite "minion master"...replicated in Hellgate, for example.

When I play Age of Conan, guess what I'm probably going to do? Female, rogue class, bow preference, pet if possible and a name like Corvidia Blackfeather...with the character creator I'll make her short and dark as possible with light hair...there she is again!

Guild Wars 2...hmmm...can Sylvari have pets?

OT: Just curious where did you come up with your name? "Saraphim" I always wondered how people come up with the same odd/unique name to use on forums and games.

p.s You went from playing Guild Wars to WoW?
