Guild Wars 2

In the live stream one of the devs made the remark that players think that support is quickly killing a mob attacking your ally. This is true, but what are you going to do about it?

Currently that method is probably more efficient than what any actual support build has to offer.

Until they fix the fact that being support is rewardless and ineffective (save for on a team level), even IF they made the stats worthwhile it would still be looked at being lesser.

The issue with GW in the support manner is, if you aren’t killing, you ain’t getting nothing.

Hopefully nothing, it’s already strong enough.

Everybody gets the same amount of glory and rank points at the end of a match so support already is rewarded. It simply needs to be buffed a bit to keep up with damaging roles.

Indeed, Support doesn’t suffer all that much in PvP in terms of rewards, however the other two major areas of the game, WvW and PvE being proper support is not usually worth its weight.
