So far I’ve tried every profession except warrior. Guardian is by far my favorite and I’ve leveled to 80 and completed a large chunk of what the game has to offer.

But I need a new class. Which class has what Guardian has? Lots of support, lots of healing, good damage, can be “tanky” if I want to be.

be ’ tanky’ is none except guardian and warrior.
For the rest I would advise you to look at the engineer. It has been my main for a long time now and I just got her to level 80. Specially towards the end I am getting challenged to discover the full depths of this class:

Very good at kiting single enemy’s using the rifle.
Very good at nuking bigger mobs using a flamethrower.
Turrets for additional damage and as tank.
drink potions for yourself or throw them at enemy’s to buff, heal or remove conditions
healing turret for an aoe heal
med kit for additional support.
And a potionriffle to deal conditions and further buff and heal your allies.

Arise, ye farmers of all nations
Arise, opressed of Tyria!

You’re going to be hard-pressed to find a class that does ALL of what you listed. The elementalist fits every criteria you listed except the tanky part. Warriors are the next closest class to Guardian in similarity (heavily armored melee class). The Engineer fits quite a few of those criteria as well. In the end, just go with the class you think looks the most fun.

For the record though, I leveled a Guardian to 80, then started an Engineer and had a blast.

Seems like Engineer might do it for me then from what you guys are saying.

I wish there were more classes, my last game FFXI has 20 classes that are all very different.

If you spec deep Water/Arcane Ele’s are actually extremely tanky characters.

Necro would fit this bill. They have the highest health along with warriors, they have many different heals through condition conversion, live steal and AoE ground heals as well as spectral forms that heal when hit. They also have great DPS both ranged and melee.

My Necro can solo several mobs 1-3 levels above his while circle strafing and using abilities.
