Guild Wars 2

I haven’t played since before the trait revamp. Recently I was looking at HoT specializations, skills etc. and I noticed that there are now builds which focus on team healing. Are there now determined roles in gw2, like healer, tank, dps? I have to admit, using the same set of armor with every class gets boring after a while.

Only for raids. Rest of the game has split into mostly:

- direct damage power/crit builds (as before)
- condition damage builds

Both types of damage are viable, while most classes are stronger with one type of damage over the other.

Raids were designed to need a more dedicated healer. All of the soft roles are still there, though.
