Today I'm going back to last years writing prompts. As these were collated by Belghast, I can't credit who originally wrote it, but here it is.
What is your favorite class? Do you play a new type each game that comes out or is there always one type of class that you tend to favor? |
| Jestro the Hobbit Hunter (Lotro) |
 |
| Jestro the Asura Ranger (Guild Wars 2) |
In Guild Wars 2, naturally Ranger is my main and following the short race I so love in LOTRO, that the Asura was a natural choice. Despite Longbow being the favoured weapon among most players, I always preferred short bow so have to get a bit closer but it feels a lot faster to me, and the bleeds are awesome!

| The Punisher (Marvel Heroes) |
 |
| Elbereth the Elven Ranger (Neverwinter) |
It's been a while since I played, but Neverwinter was once my game of choice and when I first played, there was no ranger class. I played a Rogue for some time which I recall had some ranged skills, but when the Ranger class came out I jumped on board. Sadly I stopped playing not long after that, so never gave the class a fair crack, but maybe one day I'll jump back in, the Ranger will be my main.

A hobbit hunter! Wow, those were always really rare. It's fun to see someone go with the uncommon choices.
ReplyDeleteAs for the ranger in GW2, I enjoy playing that a lot as well (more than the hunter in LOTRO, truth be told).
Love the topic. I feel like writing a blog post on my favourite class type as well now! Although I probably won't find the time to do so, because Blaugust keeps coming up with these awesome topics and then I don't find enough time to keep up.
Either way, ever since I fell in love with the lore-master class in LOTRO, ranged magic support classes have been my favourite.
It wasn't by design that I went for an uncommon choice. Jestro was based on my old character in the pen and paper Middle Earth RPG but I certainly go with what I want to play rather that what is "the best".
DeleteAt least you have an excess of topics to keep you going after Blaugust is over!
Loremaster is one class I struggled to get on with. I have one on both Landroval and Windfola and neither have made it very high in level.
If solo leveling is what you spend the most time on as a lore-master (as I suspect you did when trying to level them up), I can understand the struggle, and I've heard it before. Lore-masters really shine in their support role, having such versatility. When I do need to explore, I enjoy playing mine most when duoing with Conrad's champion - we're basically unbeatable in that combination. Although soloing isn't a problem for me either; at high levels (I'm 100 at the moment) the class feels a bit overpowered even.
