Paladin raping Horntail

Why play a class for power? Look at TakeBacker and other brawlers for example. A good majority who use brawlers know they suck crap compared to something like a db or a mech but does that stop them? No. They play their brawler because they like their brawler play style, like the skills, even though they want a revamp it doesn't mean they'll jump on another class just because it's "better". Class pride is scarce to find these days REAL class pride

Who said anything about power, animations, play style, all go into my class choice. My highest character is an Archmage, certainly isn't the most powerful, even among mages. Sure I love my arch-mage, but if they suddenly became tier 1 other people playing them wouldn't change my view of them. The only people who have problems with band wagoners are people desperate to stand out and be "original".

Sure there are people that make classes because they are more powerful, but it doesn't affect your gameplay at all.
