ive yet to see this, so ill toss this out there.
f/p's. my god, when i deleted my priest to make a f/p, i was laughed at, and my sanity questioned. rightly so, as my priest was 81 at the time, and ive had him for years, but, i grew tired of the demand from being a priest. i mean, people expected me to have maxed HS by then, which i didnt. they wanted me to be their heal slaves at stuff like himes, which i wasnt. they wanted me to be a subserviant dog to them, which i refuse to be. being a f/p was tough until i got poison brace.
my god, it was like an epiphany. sure it may take longer, but its more enjoyable to be able to say that, at my level on my f/p, that i can take down DT's. i like being able to brag about being able to go xx to kill yy before zz class, and i enjoy the solitude of it, not having to answer to anyone but myself. but, as im currently on an indefinite hiatus from MS, its kind of hard to want to play the game. the classes i made, d/k, f/p, and a remake of the priest, are fun. sure ive had to tweak the cleric to better fit what i want out of the character, but it is still fun to play.
i agree that you shouldnt make a class if its only purpose is to serve and appease others. if thats the case then youre not yourself making and playing the character, its others playing via the proxy of you. youre the medium through which these puppeteers are controlling your/their characters. sure helping others is fun, and rewarding in its own ways, but to be completely, or greatly depended on and used by others is no fun for me.
an aside; my hiatus is mostly due to an empty buddy list and no guilds. people make MMO's fun, another reason to play the game, to meet people. sure some classes are better bridges for that, like the buff-slaves out there, but that leads back to the issue of being a tool. =/
