Guild Wars 2

I’d like to focus on leveling a class I can take into WvW and world events and help people.

After Lost Shores event, where I was a low level 20 Ranger, I could only really help the group with AOE regeneration spots, reviving fallen allies, and summoning spirits for 60 seconds that could give allies a 30% chance of gaining a benefit.

I don’t see myself leveling any faster in the future, to be able to fully experience these world events at full level, so I’d like to make the most out of it, and find the class that can be the most supportive when scaled to 80.

My first thought is elementalist atuned to water.

Perhaps even the necromancer that has some wells that can turn conditions into boons for allies.

Then there is the Guardian who can block projectiles and perhaps other stuff.

Which class plays the support role the best? and more importantly, why?

Don’t forget mesmer, we throw around boons like they’re candy and if specced for mantras we can be pretty decent healers.
