I'm just pointing out you could've been a bit more civil about it. I know it's a novel concept but you could actually try not posting smart-ass remarks in response to an innocent mistake. Methinks someone should take his own advice maybe? Growing up and all? I'm sorry I was so stupid as to take the thread title for face value, but I found your response uneccessarily abrasive. Next time you might want to consider trying "No, actually, I think he's saying x" instead of "LOL LERN2REED."

In every RPG (of any sort) I always end up playing the "mage" the most.

WoW: Mage
GW: Elementalist
Oblivion: Caster (fire mainly)
and so on...

Hmmm. I'll take the high road here. Godspeed.

Yeah. Obviously you're taking the high road. I'd say you took the last exit, bud. Little late for that

WTS basic civility 1k ok?

A very interesting topic. Yeah, I do tend to gravitate towards "wizards/mages."


Anyway, due to the fact that I usually (though I don't with GW) RP very heavily, I tend to keep my characters as seperate "individuals."


Edit: Nadia and Olim BOTH need to grow up. Neither one is happy unless they have the last word.

I was always a ranger/support class in MMORPGs.

When I did nerdy Warcraft III roleplaying, I usually did a mage, or even better - A GOBLIN INVENTER! 8)

I'd make exploding Goblin Droids and crap with totally unbalanced unbalanced ness.

I've always loved stabbing people with the pointy end, kill them before they kill you I say. Naturally I go for archer, assassins, stuff like that...

I've traditinally played Assasins in games. (Diablo II comes immediately to mind), but I don't much care for the GW Sins. Now i'm finding I play casters primarily, and healers. (Medic in TF2 ftw!)

Necromancer/Mage of some sort, I didn't like Eles in GW though, so Nec all the way.

Yeah i use to favour rangers in previous games too, liked the nature aspects.
Now i'm just finding myself playing around with mage type/warrior. Although my main character is a warrior.
So yeah in a way i'm following it a little, but i'm checking out maging.

Started GW as a warrior and went to a Paragon, tanking from back row?

Grind is subjective

learn this please

I have one specific character that I used in IRC roleplay for several years, and when GW came out I tried to make the closest analog of her as possible--succeeded mostly, too, which was a good surprise, and Vanity is easily my favorite character ingame and out.

Mind, I don't actually roleplay ingame, but it's nice being able to have my favorite persona saving the virtual world.

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 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.

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.

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?
