Through my years of mmo and rpg gaming I've tended to swing between the two extremes of the warrior/wizard dynamic.

Some days I just want to be a dumb tank in full armor soaking up hits and acting as a wall for squishier classes. But then there's days where I love being a glass cannon that can kill something in 1-2 nukes but a strong breeze can kill me.

The least fun I've head with a class was as a healer druid in Everquest. Something so stressful about the party relying on you for heals and if you wipe it's generally your fault. idk how people dedicate themselves to a class like that.

Tank.

I've always found DPS meter-chasing to be obnoxious and toxic; as long as it isn't a very slow fight or sets off some kind of enrage timer, I'd rather have damage dealers that don't stand in damage zones over meter-chasers that scream slurs at less enthusiastic meter-chasers.

Also, I like fighting enemies in RPGs head on rather than punching their butt

Ah, I see you too are past tolerance for Savage statics

I've given up on Savage in general because I'd rather not deal with freeze-gamer social parasitism.

Good reason, tbh. When savage parsing started getting in the way of a tabletop one of the homies was trying to keep running, I gave up the static easy as pie lmao

Very good reason. freeze-gamer shit is the worst and can cause a sort of socioeconomic blight the same way a Wal-Mart can devastate a community that was doing fine before it showed up.
