What class(es) do you tend to gravitate towards in video game rpgs? (hexbear.net)

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 never played the Pathfinder games but a ton of CRPGs don't let you do that still. I don't even like D&D, I think the rules system sucks because it encourages specialization/roleplaying at the expense of fun.
