So~ since I'm currently starting to raid again asked She is very casual and often pretty confused. Which does not mean that she is incompetent.
I'm just looking for a class where she can focus on the mechanics of the bosses in the beginning but is still useful (without too much responsibility like heal or so ^^'')

Before I now go through all the classes I just wanted to ask here, because I also have no real picture for it. What is super easy for me (eg i play atm SB and work on my mirage) is for her  already partly too much for the beginning. even though i think she could do power-SB well, since the rota is really simple. But maybe there is something else.
I would like to give her a comfortable start, at least class wise if this is possible.

Some easy builds from LN/SC
For Condi
https://lucky-noobs.com/builds/condi-soulbeast (shortbow only and prolly the easiest one)
https://snowcrows.com/builds/necromancer/scourge/condition-scourge (reading through the guide + hitting golem for a few mins should be enough to start out)

For Power
https://snowcrows.com/builds/thief/daredevil/power-daredevil (can take Staff Master trait to make it even easier)
https://snowcrows.com/builds/necromancer/reaper/power-reaper (easy rotation and very tanky but you would lose a good amount of damage by relying too much on shroud tankiness)

Otherwise look at this channel from Muru: https://www.youtube.com/user/XhoiXGames/videos 
All of these builds are mostly sc/ln builds but with easier to execute rotations and explanations.

I'd second Muru's channel.

 

Even go as far as recommend his auto attack revenant build for a complete newbie:

 

I occasionally help out in one of my more casual raid guild groups where I got a female WvW friend to join and try out raids 3 weeks ago. I recommended her this build and it suits her just fine. She doesn't push the most amazing damage, given she is surrounded by experienced players, but she does do her part and the simplicity of the build allows her to focus a lot more on mechanics and what is going on. Given the group full clears W1-4 in 2 hours the night, that's a lot of bosses she has to learn at once for someone completely new to raids.

 

It all boils down to how much you want to put on your friend and how experienced the group is she will run with (there is a big difference between learning and focusing on 1-6 bosses versus multiple wings).

 

Otherwise going through Muru's videos, I might recommend condi renegade or power DH. In essence all his builds are strait forward though.

Thanks for the helpfull answers. 

 

For now I just want to do Wing 1 with her and friends, because there, I am confident enough to lead the raid myself with announcements and stuff. I think it will be a full trainings-raid, since some other people talked to me also about this and i'm just happy to bring more people in Raids :D.

I'll take a look at all this and then just go to the Golem with the people. Classes are equipped with Exo relatively quickly.

As someone who got into raiding W1-4 only a few months ago myself, I still feel very familiar with the process of bringing new people with different abilities and backgrounds into raids. So if you're interested in an interchange about what might work for you and your friends, I'll be glad to help.

If you're on EU I can also offer to come with you as long as you're not full anyway (I'm by no means a top player or something like that, just confident to carry my weight on W1-4 and may be support your leading a bit if you want to).

Best of luck to you and your friends!

I would have to ask, since we are all German. Whereas everyone should have knowledge of English~. I at least understand everything, but speaking and writing is still learning and practice xD.
But this can all still take a bit, because friendsy~ has her exams and I'm meanwhile making their classes ready and the rest is also very casual on the road what on / off times concerns xD. But if that's okay for you, I'd just add you and then we can maybe make something when we are ready. And help and tips on how I can approach everything are always welcome :D.

I already expected you being german due to your accountname. Don't worry, I'm bavarian, so I don't see any language issues 😉

Take your time, if you want some assistance and I'm available, I gladly help if I can. 🙂
