Since a few days after launch, I’ve been playing around with classes trying to see which one had the most invigorating support builds, or if I would maybe end up breaking the mold and play a different style, but alas I have found myself enamored with a support build once more: support/Elixir Gun Engineer.
I’m a level 22 Engineer, and ever since playing a Chanter in Aion, I’ve loved support classes/builds. I played a main support Rogue (side job Saboteur; good God that was fun) and an off-tank/support Warrior in Rift and a Mystic on Tera.
As a support, you’re…well, terrible—worthless—useless—a complete waste of space if you go in willy nilly with a random team because you can’t communicate well enough to find out who needs support where and blah blah blah, and even if you try, you get ignored or told “just dps”. (Which is a very bad philosophy.) Unfortunately, in this game, there’s not the luxury of having until max level to find and get cozy with a guild since you can start PvPing at any time, which is where my dilemma lies. Having no guild means no support; no support means I’m useless (I’m a terrible DPS, and tanking is boring.); useless means I get disheartened about PvP and want to quit.
I prefer sPvP because that’s where support gets to shine because you’re with a pre-made team. Also because that’s the only place I have all the skills I need to be a proper support.
Out in the world while grinding, I run Bombenade DPS because pulling and bursting down 5+ mobs is soooooo much fun, and in WvW I run a vaguely support-y turret/grenade siege build.
So here I am in the guild section of the forums looking for a guild that wants a desperate support Engineer (maybe Ele and Guard in the future, if I ever get back into them) in their guild.
If you want to get in contact with me, shoot me an in game mail to Tievanesk (quick, but moderately reliable) or post here (potentially slow, but reliable since I’ll check back eventually). Or PM Tievanesk (unreliable, but oh god do I answer that provocative pink text fast).
EDIT: P.S. I’m American; central standard time; GMT -6, whatever you want to call it, so take that into consideration. BUT I don’t normally get to get on during the day because of school and/or work, and don’t get to get on until late-ish, sometimes not until nine PM (my time) or later.
EDIT JR.: It actually doesn’t matter what sever, I realize, since I can still server transfer for free! Pity I can’t edit my title to reflect that epiphany.
