So I have a bit of experience playing GW2 and understand there is no holy trinity and that all classes damage and support at the same time with some doing one or the other better than other classes. That being said the last time I played was in 2015. I have an 80 Necro, 80 Thief, and an 80 Rev. All Berserk based, none of the elite specs maxed out.

I’m looking for a new class to start that has good support abilities like boons and heals. I’ve tried Guardians but I think I just play them wrong and they feel squishy with more a generalized set of weaker boons (again the last time I played a Guardian was probably 2014).

As for my playstyle I mostly solo play and group for bosses and dungeons. I have no preference for melee or ranged.

Also I’m pretty familiar with how each class works and general performance (minus their elite specs), but being gone for so long I just want input on what is currently better/worse support and the style of support for the classes.

Thanks in advance!

You should try Druid. Many unique group-buffs, great heals and almost required for raids in PUGs, if you want to try them.

You can play full support with Magi-Gear and staff or hybrid with viper and conditions.

Really fun and flexible class!

I will probably give Druid a try then! I always enjoyed PVP with a Ranger pre-HoT but never leveled one. After researching I was debating a Guardian or a Druid. The only thing that has me wondering is how the Guardian’s new elite spec will compare to the Druid, but the Ranger’s new Beastmode looks pretty awesome.

Yeah for pve group play it’s propbably druid.
For gamemodes like WvW I would say guard and rev to spam resistance and stability.
