Which GW2 profession is most similar to the discipline priest from WoW? I know theres no traditional trinity, and that all classes can heal/dps etc, but I’m looking for the closest match

Back when I used to play WoW, I played disc priest every arena season and love the playstyle. I’m there to support my team mates with shields to mitigate damage, to heal them, to control enemy healers, to dispel debuffs. Disc priests were mostly there for utility, to get your team mates moving/dispelled/shielded so they can freely put out pressure. They were the true enabler class. But most importantly, back in the day they were the healer class that could very quickly turn around and pump out some damage to help get a kill.

Is there a GW2 equivalent in structured pvp that can play this shielding/support role the majority of the time, but flip a switch and pump out some burst? I’m asking this only from a pvp perspective

… I think Guardian can do it best.

Elementalist can do this to a degree as well. You can be a pretty decent support healer with water and offer shielding/buffs with auras and earth.
Guardian is probably a better fit though.
