What is everyone's favorite class of all time, and why? What made you fall in love with the class forever?

Please don't start a Shaman. LoLNecromancer.
I started as a paladin, made it to ~lvl15, made a necromancer because I wanted a specific item and to do the quest you needed a dark elf SK or necromancer. It let you bind affinity as a paladin. (Later the item was nerfed, nerfed again, changed to no trade, and then eventually the quest was removed). I discovered while the paladin sounded like it made perfect sense - take the hits AND heal yourself - the necromancer was WAY more powerful.
I then proceeded to see necromancers get nerfed every patch - one time they even said 'server coming down for emergency maintenance', two patch notes afterwards, fix a crash bug, and a nerf to necromancer pets. I just imagine them running around 'Something's crashing the servers, we need to fix it immediately, anybody got a nerf we can throw in on necromancers before we send this update out to the servers?'
Wow I also, hear shamans get better over expansions I guess, eq is a favorite class by the game company.What made me fall in love with my Shaman wasn't soloing Dragons as a class that wasn't supposed to but that helped. Shaman have the most lethal DoTs their killing power is second to none. A Shaman can handle crowd control if needed. You can primary heal or spot heal. Your buffs and AOE malaise and slow make you sought after just for that. And Shaman is a chain class he can take hits and instaheal himself. I've tanked with my Shaman doing with a Druid healer in Vp when you needed a key to get in and if you died your key and all your gear was lost on that body. No character in any other game can do all the things a Shaman can do.
wow was that from the old everquest strategy guide Primas? or the manualWas anybody here influenced by the official Everquest strategy guide into what class they played first?
Paladin's sounded so interesting in it:

Strategy guide, the very first one. I think it may have even came out slightly before the game - I remember reading the whole thing before even getting the game and I don't know if that's because it came out before the game, or if it was just I got the guide before the game for some other reason (like Media Play closing the location/putting everything on clearance).wow was that from the old everquest strategy guide Primas? or the manual
These days mages can have a pet plus another pet in reserve buffed and ready to go and also get swarm pets.I always loved pet classes. So when Everquest launched I was a main Magician. But back in the day raiding as magician was horrible. We cannot summon our pets because they agrooed everything like a normal player, and all my nukes were resisted. So the single thing I did in old raids was summon people, and summon mod rods and place in the ground, for the Complete Healing clerics grab and continue their rotations. Then I changed to Beastlord. Loved him so much.
The single thing I do not like in eq is that we can summon one single pet... I loved to play city of heroes because the "summoner" class there, called MasterMinds, could summon 6 pets at the same time. It was awesome. The group was 8 members, with 8 Masterminds in a dungeon was a total war. * masterminds + 8x6 pets... haha

I mained a BRD for years and that is still my favorite class
I no longer run MQ on my legacy accounts but if I make a new group it's always gonna have a BRD
beast mage or sham, thinking about making a pet centered group next.
I made a BST, MAG, MAG, SHM, ENC, NEC Group and it was great fun lol
But back to OP:
Ranger will always be my favorite. Old school Rangers use to be alot more than today's standards.
interesting, but man dunno if i could go back to not having a tank, did that before i got into mq a few years ago.
