(Old poll: http://strawpoll.me/6262639/)
Since it’s hard to make accurate poll options with the amount of possible builds and class choices, let’s sort it by class archetypes and roles, and see how popular they are.
wow there’s a few willing to be a swordie tank.
welp don’t worry guys i’m willing to be a punching bag for u 
Didnt imagine archer dps will lead. They have low dps until you get +10 bow. Until then, they will have an “okay” damage at +10
It depends on what defines a tank.
For me, a tank is anyone that has peltasta c1, and actively uses swashbuckling. Don’t even need a shield.
In that case, I’m a swordsman tank archetype too.
I see tank as someone with a main focus on…tanking, meaning main investment in CON, and maining defensive classes (more than 1 circle), such as Peltasta and Rodelero etc… 1 circle in Peltasta for Swash Buckling does not make you a tank but a hybrid at best.
Although with ToS’ current Mob AI and defense mechanics, I guess a full fledged tank is not really needed and actually detrimental, so it’s very niche.
I think I should have added more poll options, like hybrid Tank/DPS for Swordies and hybrid Support/DPS for Wizards/Clerics.

I’d like to click multiple items on that poll.
FS Cleric + DPS Wizard
Nice, im rolling pure tank and bit of support, peltasta c3>squire c2>templar.
Most attribute will go to CON. I’ll leave the dps to my friends XD
Loved pardoner / cleric utility the most - tbh i wanted to click all the utility choices, but i ended up picked archer(other) my favourite classes are based on the outfit themselves and not the play style so much.
With the new poll, Wizard - Hybrid DPS/Support is at the top. Interesting.
well linker is almost a must have
mostly people choosing hybrid type maybe because ToS offering multiple role on single char…
me personally choosing cleric full dps…i play solo a lot, so survivable tools like heal and protection with decent damage dealer very suitable for me…
