Yeah, you know, cause since only Arisens can be Hybrid classes, and you get access to more weapons, as well as Vocation exclusive skills that are the best in the game, I think most of us are pressured into one of them, and MA has no survibability.

I still think that MA probably has a fairly big number of players. But the MK just facetanks everything if needed and nukes areas, and sins just dodge and masterful kill whatever they like.

The game also kinda forces you to pick something with ranged attacks and having dodges AND counters doesn't hurt. The MK players can facetank and block everything and then nuke whatever while not even getting stunned, so yeah.

Dominant Strategy, guys. If any of you played Skyrim, you probably played either a Dual wielder or a shield+one handed, because mages and archers just don't stun often enough to kite (Stay in attack range while you keep your enemy out of his) and most enemies aren't even ranged or flying. Hell, they even gave you the means to ground a flying Dragon into melee range. DD's Ranged vocations, on the other hand, have many ways to keep opponents off them and/or run back into safe distance quick.

So yes, they are the most popular classes cause metagame, sort of. They're just better at the game than the other classes, so it makes more sense to play them than a Mage who can't dodge, or a Fighter who gets kited forever.
