Let’s see if we can get some discussion going.

Recently, at least, my main has been Scout. I run M1000 with Electrocuting Focus Shots - the way I’ve built it provides a nice breakpoint for acid spitters. After playing Scout for a while I find it a little hard to go back to a slower class - more than once I’ve tried to grapple away and realize “wait you idiot you’re playing Engineer”.

After Scout, I like playing Gunner the most, followed by Engineer. I don’t really like playing Driller much - despite having many promotions on my other classes, I haven’t promoted Driller yet! I don’t hate the class, or anything, I just didn’t ever really click with the playstyle. I have a healthy respect of Drillers on my team for being able to handle crowd control well, so cheers to you guys.

    The opposite, I’m a generalist and play all four classes equally (they are always on the same rank). I couldn’t imagine restricting myself to one artificially.

      I’m the same way. All the classes are fun! I’ll fill the last spot in any mission with whatever class hasn’t been picked or just choose the lowest ranked class I have.

      It’s not artificial, at least for me - it’s just a natural consequence of getting into the groove. I play scout, I get used to scout, I want to play more scout cause it’s what I’m used to. I still switch it up, usually to Gunner, but habit is what it is.

        I find myself switching a lot because I play with randoms all of the time. I will choose my class based on whatever the team needs as I join.
