Knighthonor.4061 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 All classes have some level of support but usually it's on a very lesser degree for some more than others. Those are the classes I am talking about. Just to make that clear.But which of those classes would you like to see get a Support Elite Spec next so they also can play the major support role in endgame group content?For me a Support Warrior elite spec seem very intriguing to me when combo with its core defensive skills I could potentially make an awesome front line healer in WvW that can draw attackers away from my allies. Seem badkittens to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steki.1478 Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Warr, thief, engi and to certain degree mesmer (although core class is focused a lot on support) are the only ones lacking a real support elite spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HnRkLnXqZ.1870 Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Thief and Warrior.Mesmer made me ponder, tbh. It feels a bit like asking for a power damage specialization for Thief or a Healer for Ranger. I still hope for a Mesmer specialization that uses a hammer, heals and protects its allies. So they can run 10 Mesmer raids finally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of its support in wvw comes from core class as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasoki.5180 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I'd rather have them fix current support classes and make a viable and sustainable system of current classes and roles.We already have classes with intended support builds that are basically seeing almost no play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

draxynnic.3719 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Okay, let's analyse this:First, let's get a baseline. The professions that currently have support-oriented specs are:Guardian (Firebrand)Revenant (Renegade, arguably Herald, although that's more typically used for DPS)Ranger (Druid)Necromancer (Scourge)Mesmer (Chronomancer)Elementalist (Tempest)This leaves Warrior, Thief, and Engineer. Scrapper tries sometimes, but the last balance patch has pretty much kicked it into "power DPS or GTFO" territory.From this perspective, it seems that we've been getting three support elites per expansion, so it's probably not unreasonable to expect all three to pan out...If I had to pick one, though, I'd probably say Engineer. It's a profession that feels like it should be able to go support, but has never really been allowed to actually get there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opopanax.1803 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Warrior needs a support/heal line, and to have tactics and warhorn improved for better healing and support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
