Five people to a group, no DPS, tank or healer roles.

There’s plenty of support though, pretty much every profession has some. Some are better than others. Warrior is on the lower end, even if you dedicate all your traits and utilities to it you’ll still be worse than any Guardian as an example.

Take a look at what you think you might like, it can probably do it. Then ask how you can make your chosen profession support. Or ask for a more specifc sort of support class. You can debuff, heal, buff, CC, anything.

This thread may be useful too where I’ve responded in more depth:

I pretty much want to heal/buff/cc, I was thinking maybe necromancer, I’m just not too sure, So I figured I would post here and get some insight before making a decision.

I play a support necro myself as my main, I hit 80 a few days ago and mostly play in WvW. If you’re more of a PvE player my help may not be as good, but I can say that Necromancer lacks in buffs. You have heals , debuffs and CC mainly. I really enjoy it and make a big difference. One nice thing about Necro for PvE is that if your group all goes down from one AoE, which often happens let’s face it, if they’re close enough you can AoE rez them all at range from Downed state through your Signet of Undeath ability. I always have it on my toolbar, PvP or PvE.

Guardians have a ton of buffs and you can get various CC effects mainly in the form of knockbacks. Might be worth a look at it.

Otherwise there’s Engineer which is a tad more difficult than the Guardian and possess less buffs but you can do practically anything with that profession.

Take a look at the engineer, especially the Medical Kit and elixir stuff. Might be what your looking for?

Its a pretty good healer, although i`m still working it out. Healed through the first dungeon with it. Its more of a debuff than a buff character i think.

your responsibilities include everything though. you can’t shrug off some for “your style”. you have to help kill, debuff, buff, damage, tank, heal, etc

that’s your job in gw2
