support classes.
I don’t think support class is intended in this game design.
I went water spec on my elementalist healing my comrades in battle, rezing downed and killed players and doing every supporting role except dps-ing on the enemy. And I got zero xp, zero karma, zero silver after working so hard for hours in WvW.
I turn on my fire spec since. There is no point.
well they dont want you to sit there and not do anything, i use scepter/sheild and mace/sheild, or mace/sheild and staff – and i hit everything, they dont want you to sit in the corner and just heal.. just read the guardian elite skill, it literally says you gain powerful SUPPORT skills.
re: no support class
The game is not rewarding dedicated support, no; but each player should be supporting the other party members at least part of the time.
Not a good concept, support and being there should give you rewards rather then what it is right now. Right now in most instances of combat (PvE and WvW) I simply try to tag everything once rather then properly help kill something because that gives me 8-10 times the reward of playing the game properly. It feels stupid running around with my axe/bow and just trying to AoE everything once so I can loot everything.
