Your favorite weapons in MMORPG?

Totally a magic wielder. It's a lot more fun that way, and you have to find a way to manage your mana and health, rather than just your health bar with melee weapons. It's a lot more fun, and the power curve compared to just a warrior type is incredibly exponential, as you would start out as a magic trainee, and then ending up as a lightning god that can destroy everyone.

 

I've also grown to love bow and arrow. Used to be I was loyal to sword wielding characters but now that I've gotten a bit more experience with other types of heroes I've gained an appreciation for the extra range. I like being able to cause damage without being in that much of a risk position-wise.

 

Yeah, I agree bows are the best weapons. I like attacking from afar. But on the other hand, I also like axes, they're just so bada**.

 

I'm a huge fan of bows, I think I've mentioned that in another thread here. I just like the ability to shoot at things from afar, and the increased mobility classes like archers usually have in combat when compared to magic wielders who have to spend time casting spells, or melee classes which have to be next to the enemy.

 

I like melee warrior types the most especially if they have a big sword or shield, have lots of HP and can defend their fellow heroes in battle. Magic characters bore me and Archer types are pretty ok I guess but I'm not into the low HP of these classes.

 

I usually prefer melee or tank weapons, like swords and shields, battle hammers and etc. Though I just start FF14 Online, and my friend said I would be good in the Bard class, so I went with archer. Which I am really liking! I love how having the bow lets me shoot at enemies from a distance, or I just shoot one and only aggro ONE. Instead of running up to a group and aggro'ing ALL of them.

 

I play runescape, sometimes I can binge play it but since some days I am too busy to play at all. I play probably 7-10 hours a week probably.

 

I have never really been a tank person, and I think that I am slow in catching up to this bow and arrow trend, in that I was not even aware it was a trend. I think I would go with the magic spells too, which surprised me a little bit to be honest. I just like the variety of them and the things you can do...makes it more interesting to me. Thanks for sharing.

 

That'd have to be either Witch Hunter's matchlock/flintlock or Squid Herder's bow or Shaman's stave - each one from Warhammer Online.

In general, staves and fancy & spooky offhands or late medieval firearms - as mentioned above!?

 

I am one of those people who always likes the lesser weapons, like your fists or your swords or sticks and things like that. That is also after I have played for some time, too.

 

MMORPG gives you options. There is no doubt about that. The weapons I prefer in any MMORPG style, level, or game are the old-fashioned ones of fists and sticks as well....

 

We used to call mages glass cannons in World of Warcraft. They were quite powerful, but also had cloth armor, so they were very squishy. A well played one will kill an enemy before it has a chance to get near.

Tanks generally aren't meant to compete in damage dealing. Their role is to take a beating and protect the rest of the party from getting beaten, so they can do their roles.

 

I usually like to play tank so I would go with the warrior type character that wields a sword and a shield. I never had fun with an archer, assassin, or mage since they die too quick when it comes to team fights. I do not hate them though, they deal a ton of damage to enemies but I just like a character that can deal a bit of damage and can last long when it comes to fights.

 

I usually prefer machetes in an mmorpg. If I can't get one then usually it is some sort of axe or a club of some sort. I'm not too much in bows as much but will use them.

 

I like mage powers to be honest. I like wiz and mages who cast spell. Those can be really powerful. In most of the games those can take out the enemy in quick succession. So that is surely something to be seen. I'd say magic and the arrows are better.

 

I started out playing tank or melee, so I liked swords. Later, I found casters or ranged to be less of a headache (and deal more damage). I like staves, wands, intricate offhands.... it has to be unique. I guess I like any cool looking weapon. A lot of them are over the top huge though.
