What’s the easiest role?

[Ninjagon]

The topic is about what archetype is the most easy to play (from the start). Nobody was asking how to play concrete class to be most effective. In that sentence, my post is pretty accurate.

SW weakest class in game, give buffs please

Yes, SW is weak, according to my personal experience.

I wouldn't say healer is easier to play than tank.
It is more likely that the enemy team focuses a healer than a tank, so new players stay alive longer.
As a reliable guard bot you are already more useful than most tanks, without even using any other skills.
All you need is some addon to help you finding your guard target to stick to them.
Coordinating punts and other CC would be the icing on the cake.

You don't have to worry about heal priorities and positioning like a healer.
Both are more difficult to play well compared to DPS.

Sure, which is why in your post you're explaining how to play a healer by staying at 150ft or explaining how to be a tank by "you have to be close to your enemy, your position is very important, and you care about friends and enemies too".. I was correcting and expanding on your advice. And every class is easy to play from the start if you know how to play it properly as every class has it's own niche.

Been wanting to dip my toes into some group content, what’s the easiest role (tank, healer, mdps, rdps) to try? I’ve already tried healing out as a shaman in low level scenarios and it’s kinda fun, but I’m not sure if I like how stressful it is.

There's no such thing as a stress free class. The stress that is being experienced is by you. If you're playing casual in a 6 man SC group you shouldn't be stressing. IF you're in a high tier guild that expects performance and low deaths, then you're gonna be stressed trying to perform at your best 24/7. To that point, play Shadow Warrior. Because no high tier guild will want you as SW's suck. This isn't really a question we can answer because we don't know what you play for. Do you play for intense 6v6's, or do you play casual not wanting to rely on other people? All we can do is give you the most useful meta classes and easiest classes to play.

Agreed. DPS is literally run up with your guard and hit the target, assist your main damager or AOE bomb. That's literally it with a few things on top. Healing is about positioning, timing and fast reactions. Tanks have to follow their DPS, keep an eye on everyone's health to guard swap, challenge enemies, use interrupts, snare, KD tanks and punt them from the target they are guarding (which your DPS is hitting).

Tanks are simple but have a lot to do in a short period of time. Healers have more to do the more intense things get, and it's more about reacting faster, positioning yourself so you don't die but also to increase your heal output, and putting the right heal on the right target at the right time. The hardest things DPS have to do is do certain abilities such as shattered limbs on the enemy heal line, which should be fine since you're being guarded.

The easiest is kotbs just run the right auras and tactics it pretty brain dead but also the most important tank on order as the other 2 are trash
