When we distill combat styles in MMOs down to their most crude categories, we usually end up with three: melee fighting, ranged physical attacks, and ranged magic casting. This suits the array of players going into these games, as some love to get up close and visceral with foes while others adore hanging back to sling arrows, bullets, or fireballs.
Looking at your own tendencies and build choices in MMORPGs, do you tend to gravitate to only one of these combat archetypes or do you roam between them depending on the game, the class, and your whims?
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!
