Though GW2 isn't what I'd hoped (CoX came the closest to role/group comp Nirvana), one thing I do appreciate is that even my Mesmer feels tough as nails and I can do things with her I can't do with a Guardian. I'm good at playing a Mesmer and I am better at everything as a Mez.

But when I came to this game, I decided to forego tanking, a role I love to death, in favor of my 2nd favorite role. I'm tired of being yelled at, tired of being blamed, tired of the stress of having to know every pull and every map and every special move and every spot I can stand in, tired of DPS thinking they know my job well enough to tell me how to do it and then acting like the whole thing worked because they're 'epic.' I'm tired of being a doormat.

Anyway, in spite of my rambling about the job, I still support another tank class.
