Guild Wars 2

Nothing really seems to specialize in healing. I tested a support water elementalist staff build in PvP but it was hardly practical unless used in a structured team.. and, even then, it wasn’t as useful as a damage build. Paladins have some better support skills (in my opinion) and so healing skills with Tome (elite skill) but it’s far from what I’d call a healing class.

I think you are talking about Guardians. There are no Paladins in GW2.

I have played my elementalist in water attunement using a staff and, while you won’t be able to keep up someone that is being focused (i don’t think any “healer” in this game can do that), you certainly have some nice skills that can help your teammates survive if they play smart.

You have Water blast which doesnt do much damage, but it heals targets in the blast radius so it is very helpful to your melee friends. Healing rain has a BIG radius so it is pretty easy to heal with it. Geyser, on the other hand, is more difficult to use since its radius is very small. Your teammates must be aware of it otherwise it will be wasted.

For CC you have Frozen ground which is a nice AoE snare. Combine it with Ice spike to make your enemies vulnerable.

Overall i enjoy my Elementalist in Water attunement a LOT.

Good morning all. I have been trying for a while to play scens with a friend. So far the only thing that seems to work is:

1) Free Tournaments. However sometimes it takes a while for them to pop.
2) Try pugging it, joining the same server. However more often than not, we end up in different teams fighting each other.

I haven’t read much about this game yet, just went straight into scens so maybe there is something i am missing? Is there a way to join regular scenarios, with a friend, and make it so we are always on the same team?

Thank you for your answers.

edit: Thanks cuth, yes i was talking bout sPvP. I was doing exactly what you suggest, i was hoping there was something else i didn’t know. Oh well, i still have fun when i switch groups and i get to kill my friend hahaha.
