Hey, I love making lists. I tried narrowing it down to how well designed they are. It’s was difficult though as there are quite a lot of gems among different classes…
#5 Brigand Rogue
When I think of dungeon crawling rogue-likes I instantly picture a rogue hiding behind a wall from a group of monsters guarding a chest before swooping in for the kill. This rogue looks like that same image of the rogue, the colors are nicely picked and a kind player years ago gifted this to me for free. Used it since.
#4 Clockwork Mystic
I don’t own this skin or the two below it, but the concept behind this skin intrigues me. Mystic stasises enemies, they’re frozen in time. This mystic is a time gimmick. From the icy blue eyes to the cute little gears that turn when she walks. If I try mystic again one day I’d want to use this skin.
#3 Mad Dwarf Paladin
I’m not really a fan of melee classes but this paladin is charming. In traditional RPGs paladins are usually known to be slow tanks that wield hammers or axes. Unfortunately RotMG only has swords. I like this paladin not only because it “uses” an axe/hammer but it’s also well designed and fits in. (Remember the Dwarf kings in midlands?)
#2 Kabuki Ninja
Ninja is probably my least favorite class next to trickster. (I’m not a skilled player when it comes to speedy up close classes alright? I’ll keep my distance from that urgle thank you.) This ninja skin is really cute though. I don’t know much about the history of kabuki ninja but they wear fox masks. Foxes are fast mystical animals/spirits in Japanese lore. It’s just nice to see something traditional among all the anime tropes. The colors are pretty, it’s good.
#1 Haunted Robe Wizard
I own this skin, when bone piles started spawning at first I gave up but with the help of some guildies I cleared entire realms with my necromancer just to get this skin. And I’m very happy I did. People ask me where my head is despite the story behind this wizard is that he drank a potion of invisibility but forgot about his robe/staff. But that aside… It has my favorite colors by default, looks beautiful, and makes me think back to the days when I was a nooby classic wizard in the Nexus. Need I say more?
