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.

I usually enjoy tanks, but I am also hopelessly drawn to mechanically unusual stuff

The most fun I've had in a tabletop game was when I played an investigator in Pathfinder

I knocked out a bunch of dudes with my sap, broke down the big bad with a detailed psychological analysis and proved a bunch of goblins didn't burn down a warehouse by noticing the real culprit rode a horse (Pathfinder goblins are terrified of horses)

...I love Pathfinder and I didn't know Investigators could do that

For our next game, I already have my Minotaur investigator all started out

I'm gonna see how long it takes them to realize the name on the sheet is Cow-lumbo
