Ranger sounds right up your alley. Medium defense and decent hp, some of the longest range attacks in the game, decent damage output, and their nature spirit skills are nice group support. The greatsword and longbow are my favorite weapons for Ranger, but they have a number of options you can try out to find what you’d like to switch between.

but not where I die every other quest…

There is your problem.
First off all, there are no quests. But my advice goes for everything you can fail on in the game.

Your issue isn’t with a profession but with your gaming skills. There is no need to die every other ‘quest’ and it is possible to do everything in this game with limited amount of death without deaths (or downed).

The thing is I think you need to adjust your gaming skills to this game. I know it is not nice to die. but the solution is to prevent that. to make it sound very harsh, you need to learn to play gw2.

If you are on an european server, I’m happy to join with you, see how you play and help you. There are many common mistakes people make. for example, for former gw1 players like me, I was too much used to not be able to move and cast. I needed to learn to move and dodge. Your problems might be totally different. So either describe how you are playing when you die or let someone join your party to observe you and give advise.

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

Ele is actually a very powerful solo class once you build and play it right- I can solo hearts, events, group events, champions, AC story, the endboss of TA F/U, etc without issues. Granted, it requires attention and alertness, but it is very possible to play ele without dying on every other thing you fight.

If you like ranged, engineer is the class with the most ranged options, but it plays much like ele (if you use kits). Mesmer is also a decent ranged/support-capable class.
