Hey there, everyone.
I just made an account last night and will be installing the game shortly. I was hoping somebody could give some advice to me about the general state of the game. This could be classes, zones, active playerbase, and so on.
I played during live, and mained a Chosen named Jicharl. I cannot for the life of me remember my guild or server, but I did get occasionally recognized for my posts about my discord build on the forums back then. I really enjoyed my chosen, but I think I want to play something else.
Are some classes simply unviable? I liked tanking, and group utility is always a high plus for me. However, I like to do high damage as well so I wouldn't mind rolling straight dps either. I remember the leveling process being slow back in the day, and I did cheese/grind land of the dead on live. Would rolling a healer or tank be a slog to get to r40?
I also am thinking of going Order since most of my time was spent as destro on live. This complicates things some because I actually am more drawn to the destro themes/aesthetic and I did tend to like the destro side of the mirrors more, if only slightly.
Is it viable to be a front line WP healer? Fighting it out with the tanks and keeping them alive? I like the idea of 2h wp that gets in the thick of it but I would still like to heal.
Is single target ranged SH worthwhile? Most people seem to talk about melee SH more.
Tldr; I like utility/support but I am worried about grind. I would also enjoy some high burst damage, particularly ranged. I am leaning order over destro.
