Guild Wars 2

Thank you for the replies, this is all helpful info. I think I’ll try a druid first, since it felt like it had a lower skill floor (at least for me, based on my brief, slightly drunk attempts at some spvp). Hopefully I’ll get lucky with Tomes of Knowledge and can quickly level up an alt elementalist.

Hello PvP forum. I’m new to GW2, but not MMOs. In the past I’ve always preferred to play a healer class, and I’m trying to determine which option will best satisfy my preference for keeping teammate standing. (I realize there are no pure healers, and part of learning whatever profession I choose will be doing damage and/or controlling the other team.)

I think I’ve narrowed it down to ele or druid (but I’m open to persuasion). My primary interest is likely spvp, but my boyfriend enjoys pve so a raid-viable support option is a bonus.

I’ve been reading MetaBattle.com and these forums, and watching Twitch streams, but it’s only making my indecision worse.

Thanks in advance for your advice.
