I was a PLD at first but then I went to Balmung because my original server (lich) was a german one. In this server I went warrior because 1) My character was from a game and she used an axe. 2) I play tanks anyway, easy queues.

But the more I played, the more I liked the diversity of warrior: it wasn't just about pressing 1-2-3 but also the wrath mechanic that got me. It's still my favourite tank because it has an actual mechanic behind (I don't consider mana drain as a mechanic, and PLD has the block but...yeah they got nothing). To this day I still play warrior because of their uniqueness and thanks to HW they've pretty much become the perfect Offtanks.

I also played a lot of BRD back in ARR as I loved hunter back in wow (-insert your usual hatred speech about wow here-), but overall any archer class really intrigues me...but HW made them mini BLMs so I went full caster instead (which I didn't like back then, but I'm having much more fun now).
