So I want to discuss the expectations of a player in regard to their class & build and how those expectations compare to what they actually end up with.
I want this to remain a discussion. So all flaming / trolling to be left at the door please.
As this is a discussion, expect people to disagree with you and remember to not take it personally.
I'll start.
Mage:
Expectations: magic user (obvious, I know, but sometimes you can't be too sure). Good magical attack, fire, ice, wind & water based attacks, low HP - I fights mostly with my mind, not with my muscles), better magical defence than most given that I fight magic, I know how to defend it too. After the basics, I wasn't sure what to expect. Maybe given the lack of basic classes (no obvious healer for example) some basic healing, but not much.
What I actually got: a massed fire / electrical bolt wielding crazy dude, who can heal like there's no tomorrow. However, hit him with a few good physical attacks, while cutting the healing and he's out for the count quicker than a lady of the night can drop her pantyhose...
Having realised my class weaknesses, I have worked hard to increase my pdef & HP in an effort to counter them. So what about you?
