I -love- playing pickpockets and burglars, get the adrenaline rush when you type the command: "steal sword human" .... I LOVE IT!

I think burglars are the coolest class in Armageddon  :D

What do you think?

Whirans and Drovians.  I really hope I get to play one someday.   :D

I've always had a huge interest in Rukkians, but never got a chance to play one. I've played two warriors (including my current characters). They're not exciting, I guess, but being super-beefed up lets you see some of the world that's too dangerous for others.

I played a pickpocket for my first character. He was terribly short-lived, but I'd like to a similar character agian. He was fun while he lasted, which was under two hours, heh.

An assassin starts to become amazingly fun after about 15-20 days of play time. They are the most fun for me.

Sorcerers... As long as your a mul.

Assassin/Physician... For half-giants.

Warrior/Thug... For halflings.

And my all time favorite Class...

Fat Ass Merchant... For the elves.

Rangers rock!  They get all the food and water they want for free.  (Provided it's in the North.)  :D

Good old human warrior, pure and simple.  You own the world.  You go anywhere you want.  You don't deal with anyone's shit.  Nothing beats the freedom of being a mean son-of-a-bitch Allanaki or Red Stormer bad ass warrior.  I can say that my warriors have the greatest adventures by far.  One guy was everything from a spy, to a scout, a leader, an assassin, and a bounty hunter.  You name it, he tried it.  Killing raiders, avenging friends, assaulting half-giants, hunting down magikers, dodging some filthy northerner launched arrows, and always being on the run from one templar or another.  There is just such a great freedom in knowing that once you pull out a pair of weapons it is going to take a small army to bring you down - and god damn it, someone is going to die before you do.  It lets you be as much of an asshole as you want, because unless they have a half a dozen half-giant guards or a few magikers, you know you can manhandle them long before any guards can pull you away.  And hey, if things ever get really bad, no worries, just jump onto your kank, cut a swath through the hostiles of the deserts, and start trouble in another town.

Rangers Rangers Rangers.

But I'm just not cool enough to do it well.

Gonna hafta go with either burglar or assassin.  Sorry, no one beats the stealthy bastards :P

Burglars are too well-rounded to be ignored.  You can do basically anything.

When making social characters I love being a burglar. Not because I have my char being a thief, but because of all the other skills they get  :twisted:

The most interesting classes to me are the ones I haven't played yet (which is most of them).   I very much enjoyed both times playing a pickpocket, though.

Most fun, ranger, best all around, even when making noble or socialite.

I have to save, nothin tweaks my cookies like a psionicist. The raw power of bieng able to contact almost anyone, almost instantly with a strange power known as the way. Then send messages to thier head.

A foreign presence contacts your mind

You cant tell who sends this message!
"Hey doo doo head!"

You cant tell who sends this message!
"haha"

A foreign presence withdraws from your mind.

You squint your eyes, looking about angrilly

Humans, city elves, any non-magicker class but merchant.

Nilazi looks cool, but I never tried it.

My two favorites are burglars and Rukkians.

Burglars: Are extremely flexible in how you can play them.

Rukkians: Easily self-sufficient and are easy loner pc's to play other than rangers.

Rangers, just rangers.

Well.  I haven't made my fire elementalist/thug yet.  But it sounds good.  What could be better than an violent criminal with a penchant for arson?

Assassin, SO far in the lead.  They're tough to start out, but then.... drool.  So flexible, and so powerful.  I love the sneakiness, too.  Burglars/pickpockets come next, for me.

As far as classes go, I would say whirans and sorcs are a tie for me for first.

As far as characters I've had go, a human warrior and HG Rukkian were probably up there.

Rangers.  

But a tough dwarf warrior kicks ass.  Not too many people mess with you.
