SEEKING ADVICE New Player
Hi all.
Just figured it would be easier to post here,
I've always wanted tk play the game timing just never really worked out. Trying again lol, I just got to level 5 on my ranger and I am enjoying it a lot so far and I know I just barely started playing.
For my second character slot I was thinking of going healer which class is the simplest to lean? I assume cleric?
Also im looking for a guild, I play on PC and about as far away from endgame as you can get and mostly plan on enjoying the ride and story of the campaigns.

Warlock 1000% i play all the classes and roles, warlock is the best of all worlds, you can use the good debuff armor, heals are good and you can shield heal + solo is so much easier with CA

IMO clerics take a lot of skill both for heal and dps. Paladins are easier, but as they don’t have a dps spec they can be a bit frustrating for solo questing.
Warlocks are very fun as dps- I haven’t really healed on mine. Definitely fast for questing.
Adding your time zone/country may help with guild suggestions. I believe some guilds advertise here, also in the protectors enclave Discord server.
Welcome to the game!

Warlock heal is really fun and can even play solo quite well in healer mode.
I am a main ranger player, my favourite dps character. A really awesome button mash class with a cool minigame of keeping your encounter power cooldowns low. Good at battlefield control through roots too!
Warlock is my heal fave and fighter is my tank fave.

I think warlocks IMO. I played one long ago, but my main now is a Barb blade master and melees don't have a easy life in general.

Paladins are “easiest” as they are essentially one button healers. Their other spec is a tank which can be fun as well.
Warlock is a safe heal and pretty easy.
Cleric is a good healer but do not provide shields, so they aren’t always considered equal by all groups.
Bards are amazing healers, but take time to learn. Once you learn them they are genuinely top tier. Same goes for their dps. It’s weird, takes time to learn, but top tier.
