Guild Wars 2

I skipped most of HoT and am looking for a new class, i dont mind playing old (elite) specs..

I am looking for a mellee caster hybrid playstyle, preferably not wearing light armor. Something akin to an oldfashioned battlemage..

So what specs would you advise me looking into

I would go with Firebrand since i love battlemage playstyle too, with mount i can finally get rid of the sluggish guard. But my top specs would be Weaver, don’t know about you guys tho, since we have many heavy armor looking costumes it would be cool if weaver wearing plate costume.
