Swordsman - The Masters of Melee
Gunslinger - The Rulers of Range
Demoman - The Kings of Crowd Control

If you had to be limited to one of these play styles, which would you choose?

I've had fun being a swordsman and all, but if I were to be limited, I'd most likely be a demoman because I have future plans on probably becoming a pure demoman and I like how good they are for defense in Lockdown.

Boring optimizers will choose guns because blitz
Other experienced optimizers will choose swords because archeron
people who choose to attempt being different/find the other classes boring will demo (aka not many).

You are experiencing a PICNIC ERROR!

Hmmhmm....

I actually...

Hmm....

With my trusty Drakon at my side, I'll take the DVS!

If Drakon is home sick, I'll settle with a Winmillion.

Gunner for sure.

Gunner.

Alchemers and Blitz for offense, pushback guns for defense.

Heres my list of what I would pick first.

4. Swords

3.Bombs

2.Shield Bearer

1.Guns

0.1. Spears (You know, if that ever happens. I like spears).

I'd choose guns not for the Blitz, not for one shoting Alchemers, but simply because I'm good with them. I also like keeping my distance from monsters. Swordies can kill stuff fast. That's what they specialize in! But when they get taken out from close range, gunners are the backbone keeping a squad going to an elevator. Bombers are great for support if they know what they are doing. Shield bearers would be invincible if anyone actually utilized the bash-in, dash-out technique properly.

Spears are similar. only I have to be at about melee range, but not as close as a sword. Reasonable mid-sword power and decent mid-gun range. That's a weapon for me. (I'd assume spears would have mid-bomb knockback as well. Defensive and not annoying to team mates!)

Guns and more dakka.

Since my return i've solely relied on guns for pve and pvp. Compared to the time i was using swords as part of my arsenal, using guns has reduced the chances of me being downed by an enemy (sometimes, in my best pve plays i am nigh untouchable, practically toying with the mindless residents of the clockworks). Using guns has thus made me a better player overall without the need to constantly rely on others (i can play with parties or without - being independent of others has alot of perks) and it is because of these reasons that i cannot see myself investing on other weapons as of the momment.

Gunning. Constant alchemer switch-spam does the trick.

I would have only bombs... if WRH and proto weapons did not exist.

After radiant drought ends (lolwat) and gunner update is introduced, I will work on a gunner loadout.

Swords. I like ranged, but I'm not a fan of current guns or gunner armor (Please guner update, let me be happy!) and the brandish charge is so sexy. Bombs are interesting, but they're way to weak to go full-time.

Sniper's a good job, mate. Challenging work, out of doors... Guarantee you won't go hungry.

Even though I despise limiting myself to one set playstyle.

I'd pick my Voltedge, through and through, for everything and anything.

This is hard

This is hard but I think I would choose swords as they have the highest attack and as I already have a ranged attacked with my Drakon
