There isn’t really the Holy Trinity. Everyone is more jack of all trades than uber-specialist. Nobody can tank for more than a few seconds one on one, nobody can keep that player healed enough, everyone has range and melee attacks and can heal themselves and rez others. Movement and avoidance rather than massive hit points, damage resistance or healing is the key to survival.

This sounds great and is one reason I quit WoW after 4 or 5 years (besides getting bored and the monthly fee was a bit of a grind). I hated that I needed to learn every specialty and needed to level up a tank or a healer. I just started a Warrior and an glad to know that I don’t have to specialize as a tank.

Speaking of movement and avoidance, are there ground effects that alert you to damage or anything like that?

Just bought GW2 yesterday. Playing on Tarnished Coast so if there are any friendly guilds to join there please let me know.

I played GW1 for a while but haven’t played in years so am a total newbie again.
