Hello all! I was looking to make an alt, allowing for more support/ sustainability across both wvw and pve that my thief doesn’t seem to have. Don’t get me wrong, I have found of ways to play my thief very effectively in both pve and wvw and like the play style, but I am looking for a more survivable class. I have it to Guardian and Emgineer, but any other suggestions are welcomed! Just looking for opinions on what to play.

The Elementalist is also pretty nice for support. It has water fields, static fields, fire fields and frost fields and has boons to share. You can also trait to share auras that also give fury and swiftness. I personally find them pretty sustainable, they are light armored but they have plenty of heals and a few escapes (a teleport, invurnability and if you use offhand dagger Ride The Lightning).

Guardian and Engineer are also very good choices, you can never go wrong with Guardian especially. C:

Agreed with Norn. I would also add mesmer.

Either class is good in a support role.

Go Guardian if you play solo most of the time. Guardians can very easily “face tank” most content, making it easier to get things done if spend most of your time alone.

Go Engineer if you always play with a “buddy”. Engineers are very versatile but innately fragile, making it harder to survive against enemies with undodge-able attacks.
