Guild Wars 2

Hello
Just to clear something up first i am a returning player… after quite a long time i might add. Now i enjoy pvp as much as pve in GW2 but there is a problem.
My problem is that, aside pve, for pvp i have no idea what class fits me. I know that its more about learning a class rather than just picking one, but, while i prefer playing at a distance with a high damage weapon ive hit a brick wall. Iv’e tried mesmer with a staff condi build (just to test), iv’e tried ranger with crit longbow, and ofc i tried warrior with a rifle crit/power build.
The brick wall tho is that i can focus targets just fine, but when the enemies focus me, i go down faster that a drowning stone. Melee doesnt help, like, at all. Every time i try pvp melee i get lost in all the chaos and unfortunately i apparently have the stupidest luck by running into pug team that simply refuses to stay together or scater when things get tough.
So to put it simply, if this community can provide me with some answers i seek.
Here are my preferances: Long range combat, high damage, as little micro as possible and decent cc, nice survivability would be awesome as well.
Now these may be a bit picky, but if someone can give me a general idea whitch class fills all these rolls, for pvp ofc, id be very grateful.

With the balance patch that was released yesterday it will take some time for the new god builds to emerge, however from reading your post I feel a Necromancer could suit your play style.

They don’t necessarily deal the most direct damage, instead relying on conditions. They can also be built/traited to have a lot of CC’s and some of the best survivability available in the form of Plague and Death Shroud
