Whats everyone's favorite classic RPG class/archetype?

[Catlana]

I tend to like the heavy tank type (knight / paladin). I would tend to split classes slightly different.

Tank (heavily armored)
Melee Dps (lightly armored)
Ranged physical dps (lightly armored)
Casting dps (very lightly armored)
Casting heals (heavily armored to medium armor)
