In pretty much every MMORPG with a fantasy theme, you have people with gigantic swords. You have spellcasters of some variety with arcane arts. And then you have one guy who is there to punch something. Often without even any sort of fist weapon. You stare down an ancient undead monstrosity, and there is a member of the party who cracks her knuckles and announces that she is going to deck that undead monster right across the chin.
Some games have had this for half of forever, while others have come into the punching later, and there are still some games that have decided that you cannot just punch stuff as your primary means of damage. (And then there are superhero games which often give you a few dozen forms of punching stuff.) But today we want to pick out the best one. Which MMORPG offers the best options for punching stuff? Which game is the best at letting you just crack your knuckles and punch your problems away?
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!
