Obviously, we here at MOP love anything overpowered — including frappes, meme wars, and MMORPG classes. Sometimes it doesn’t even take numerically superior stats to take a class from wimpy to whompy. Sometimes it’s all about animations, sound effects, and cool abilities that can make you feel overpowered.
Right now in World of Warcraft, I have that feeling with my Balance Druid. Slamming around foes with a typhoon, beaming pure sunlight and moonlight into their souls, and then slinging a super-powerful shot right into their tummies gives me a warm glow. And I always felt super-overpowered whenever I trotted out my Robotic Mastermind in City of Heroes. Transformers, attack!
Which MMO class gives you that feeling of being overpowered — whether or not it has any statistical basis in reality?
Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
