Guild Wars 2

Hello, I’m Warrior axe/axe veteran, and now I’m looking for new experience, through creating new class. I really love dps, and fast attack with axes on my warrior, and with berserker elite. I’m looking for something similar but with better heal and ranged capabilities.
I’m looking for fast attack, good AoE high dmg – mostly ranged, with some CC and heal to survive difficult situations. Is there any class that meet these requirements ? excluding elementalist, because it’s too slow on staff for me.
Please make your suggests. In addition this class is for PvE, mostly maguuma HoT.
Post your suggestions with stat and trait build please. You may include HoT Elite specs.
Thank You for support

I guess Dragonhunter would be for you. Good ranged damage that pierces and has aoe, you get virtues for added heal/damage/protection, traps for damage + cc + buffs.

I only payed DH in sPvP but I had loads of fun with it.

Yeah DH seems to be the new shiny, also a heavy class which you’re used to also.

Although you still can’t go wrong with the likes of Ele, Mesmer or Necro.

I’ve tested out DH on sPvP aswell and it’s pretty fun class, BUT there is one BIG issue for me with this class… It’s slow! DH don’t have any speed boost without staff, warrior have passive trait +25% movement speed boost, and pretty much all other classes have some kind of speed boost passively instead of Guardian/DH, this is big issue for me because i like to run fast on maps

By asking for good ranged AoE damage you pretty much limit yourself to elementalist and engineer, you know.
