I’ve been refreshingly thrown askew by how different Guild Wars 2 is to other MMO experiences, and I’m enjoying it thoroughly. Unfortunately the difference is also slightly hampering my enjoyment as I struggle to narrow down what the classes are capable of. I’ve done a few searches but I haven’t turned up much, so forgive me if I’ve missed something.
Traditionally in MMOs I enjoy ranged healing. Obviously in GW2 everyone brings a little bit of everything to the table in different ways, which is great, however it’s making it difficult for my newbie self to work out what a lot of classes can do. Also the fact that the holy trinity of class roles has been thrown out also makes things a bit more difficult to puzzle out.
As I enjoyed ranged healing, I figured the easiest transition would be to some sort of range support build, however running around as an Asura with a greatsword sold me on melee as well.
Could some kind soul possibly give me a brief rundown on what each class brings to the table in terms of supporting the group as a whole? Hopefully then I’ll be able to settle down and have a bit of fun.
