Well Farore will be playing, most likely a healer or support role. I've been on the fence about it but now that Farore and Nesta will be playing I guess that tips the scales lol.

There already seem to be a few Guardians, as that's prolly what I'd go with, there's only one listed Warrior so maybe I'll do that...names pending on what's available.

[Farore]

I will be a healer. Someone inform me of what I will be because I don't know what any of the classes do.

[TheNesta]

Just wanted to confirm I'll be playing. It looks like I'll be playing a Ranger, named Viola Strings, which I did make on Bear's beta account already, and will remake on my own account once I get it. Even if for some strange reason that won't be my main, you can put that down for now.

Pretty much any class can be a healer if you use the right skills and weapons. I don't know who's best at just straight healing or if there is a class that's best at it.

[Bear]

I'm going to guess that water attuned elementalist is the best at it though. Plenty of good skills for it and boon (buff) heavy. Luc is liking it so far =)

[Mistaque]

Post-napper Bear! Anyway, yes, water-Elementalists are sorta-kinda 'best' from what I see, though every class can sorta-kinda do everything from what I hear, and I'll study on the topic later for more detail anyway xD (unless someone else is faster)

I also assume Nesta & Farore & Roll are all getting GW2 so I threw you to 'Will Get GW2' section~

I do Like Elementalist! When you are attuned with water, some your regular attacks damage enemies and heal allies if they are in range. Water attunement has all the AoE healing spells (e.g. Geyser and Healing Rain). Also, if you improve your water attunement, you gain a healing aura that does healing over time to around you, and you raise your max health and healing power. Earth attunement improves defense. I love it so far, and I would recommend it. My only complaint so far is that healing with some skills requires precision because you can't target your own members with some skills like Water Trident, but it does like small area heal and damage to enemies.

After playing a Theif for a bit, it doesn't look like that class can heal all that well, or at least it'd take a bit of time before you'd be any good.
