When playing a MMORPG, no player is alike. But there are still different styles of playing the game. Below we have described some of the different player types, and compared them to each class, so that you may take a look on each player style, and see if one of them fits you, then see which kinds of classes may fit you the best.


Melee

When playing, some people want to get up close and personal, they like to take the damage, or deal the damage. Here are the different styles of approaching your enemy toe to toe.


O

Barbarian (Melee DPS)

Assassin (Melee DPS)

You like hopping in and out of stealth, making people fear your cheap shots rendering them hesitant to attack anything or move anywhere, knowing you may be close. You deal insane bursts of damage and disappear without a trace before your enemy even knows what happened. You are the deadliest and scariest of the players, but cannot to take much damage. The Assassin is your class.

Bear Shaman ( Healer / Melee )

If you feel like you don't have to be the best tank out there, but you like getting up in everybody's face to deal a lot of damage; if being able to heal yourself while doing this, making yourself stronger and more capable of healing yourself and your team while being in the face of your opponent, then the Bear Shaman may be the class for you.

Ranged

There are also ranged fighter styles: magicians, casters and people who want to utilize a bow. Here is a list of the ranged classes.


Ranger

The player with the bow and crossbow, not able to take damage or fight well in close range, but very deadly at ranged fights, dealing insane amounts of damage, slowing, rooting, stunning, bleeding and simply overwhelming the opponent, the player enjoys to let the arrows rain down on their enemies. If this fits you, the Ranger is your class.
