I’m coming over as a long time wow player (10+ years). I’ve done high end competitive pvp and pve there. My understanding is that GW2 doesn’t have classes that fit the typical DPS, Tank, Healer roles and there are quite a few different game modes here (pve, WvW, and pvp).
I think I’ll probably enjoy the WvW and pvp aspect of the game the most. I’m looking for a pvp game more than a pve game.
that being said - I kind of wanted to play a healer - but it doesn’t seem like they are really a needed class in this game. I’m interested is Mesmer also but most things I read says it’s a difficult class to play. As a long time mmo player I kind of like that as I see it as a challenge that I think I’ll be able to pass. It seems as though a lot of classes are good for one thing and maybe not for another.
my question is - would a Druid healer be viable in WvW / pvp or are they not needed? What classes / specializations should I stay AWAY from? I don’t want to play a thief. Way too much time as a rogue in wow.
