Role playing games are loved by a vast majority of games especially due to the customization they offer, allowing players to create a character that best suits their play style. In many titles, such as Dragon Age, players start by picking what class they wish to play as alongside the race they want to become.

However, it isn't only single player games that have some interesting class options. Massively multiplayer RPGs also get creative, allowing players to select from a wide range of classes. Due to having so many people play their MMOs it is no surprise that many of these titles have plenty of great classes to choose from and that's why these MMORPGs have the greatest classes available.

While DC Universe Online may not have a player's usual cut and dry classes, that doesn't mean the player doesn't have a selection of choices that create their class. When creating a new superhero or villain players must first decide a power and weapon they wish to use for the rest of the game which essentially creates their character's class.

For fans of the Star Wars franchise, the MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic allowed players to experience the history of the Star Wars universe while deciding between siding with the light side or the dark side. Within this choice were four classes for each side, which allowed players to experience what It's like to be a Sith Lord or even a Smuggler.

What made these classes so great were the intricate details and stories between them that allowed the player to essentially experience eight campaigns within the one game, just by playing the different classes.

While Lost Ark has plenty of the regular classes seen within many MMORPGs, it stands out from the rest due to its two interesting choices of Gunner and Martial Artist. These classes go deeper than their names. For example, Gunner is split into other subclasses such as Machinist and Deadeye, which allow players to experience the game the way they want.

This also means that what may be deemed as a regular class, such as Warrior, has its own ways of surprising gamers, such as the choice to adventure into Gunlancer.

4 Guild Wars 2 – The Engineer

Similarly, Guild Wars 2 continues to amaze players through its own detailed classes that make exploring this MMORPG different from others in the fantasy genre. For players that enjoy taking on the role of Artificer in Dungeon and Dragons, perhaps looking into this class is an idea for them.
