'Bear' with it, the joke will 'growl' on you over time.
We need several 5min previews to stress-test the OT.
Your old avatar was way better =(
Bear puns confirmed for funnier than pictures of bears. I applaud your creativity.
Evilore's two Dragon Age OTs were clearly the best.
24,000 characters doesn't allow for funny.
I agree.
Also, I really think the OT should be kept to one post and not graphically heavy. I messed mine up pretty hard. However, from what I heard from Jira, it should only be one post.

I have a feeling Jira's OT is going to be nothing short of GW2 propaganda with GIFS of the sexual kinds with GW2 merchandise.

"Kind of sad to hear that, since my favorite role in MMOs has always been the pure healer."
Unfortunately, this is not the game for you unless you don't mind playing roles you don't like as much.

I was messing about with Guardian in a previous WvW game, and while it wasn't 100% constant healer it did feel good that most of the abilities provided a heal for those around you.

I really liked that about the Guardian, i was healing people but i didn't have to drop out of the action to do it, and was doing damage all the while. I'm definitely rolling as one for my alts.
There's nothing like a traditional healer or tank in the game. I guess you can traditionally DPS, but you likely will add support or control even by doing that, since attack skills are designed to function for more than one singular purpose.
I do think there's more to healing than the whack a mole design. It does have to do with helping others and keeping an army going rather than just repeatedly casting heal spells. This may be due to me playing a Druid healer and being used to performing multiple roles while leveling up.

I've been watching some videos, and it seems like I might have some fun with guardian.
I think one of the most outstanding parts of this game and what sets it apart, is that you could remove every element of "Massively multiplayer" and it would still be worth the price. I've found there is very little of the typical grind fest you get with MMO's and the leveling experience is actually very diverse considering the vast amount of different types of objectives/quests available.
I was on the fence about whether or not I'd actually buy this game for a long time because typically I don't enjoy the MMO experience, but I've got to say I am now incredibly hyped for it.

While not a healer you can definitely support your allies as one! I'm tempted to call it a very versatile class, but I think that describes every class.

Lots of fun with the Guardian! Asura Guardians spin around on their staff when they do one of their abilities. Good stuff.

No holy trinity is one of the best things about this game, I usually play mmo's with 3 close friends and we don't like to play healer, so we always spend to much time trying to find one. Now we can just pick up any random as long as hes decent and be on our way 
Seems that most people don't like playing healer, so I'm sure that it'll work out much better for most people. I've always been weird I guess.No holy trinity is one of the best things about this game, I usually play mmo's with 3 close friends and we don't like to play healer, so we always spend to much time trying to find one.

I've always felt that there should be something more to healing in the games I've played. I did enjoy Paladin in WoW as I could do other things while trying to heal in Vanilla (even if my team mates didn't like the last minute saves!).

Dont like playing one but I really do love seeing a good one heh

Think I'll try out Necromancer tonight as that's the only class I haven't really given a chance. Hopefully I don't like it as I don't want to spend £25.50 on 3 new character slots. :\

how many character slots do you start with? I haven't gotten into any beta events.

They don't give you enough to make one of each class at least?! Oh that's messed up. >
Edit: Brilliant... but evil!

I always loved playing Healer, but can't imagine it anymore now. All that staring on green bars o.o
The reason for liking it I guess isn't really the mechanics but the feeling to actually contribute a lot to the group, which now everyone can do.
I love filling bars :<
Make sure to post a link in here the moment it's up!
HEY IT'S THE MORNING HERE.
An OT means the game is almost out. After years of waiting!
Booo. I have to leave for work just about...now. I'll miss the good avatars D:

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
I love good healers, but hate playing as one. It's dangerously close to being a skinner box.
Got tired of healing once I realized randoms think having a healer makes them invincible. After the 100th guy stood in the fire in Hutball I was done. I CAN KEEP YOU ALIVE WHILE RUNNING THROUGH SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE INSTANT DEATH BUT YOU ARE TOO DUMB TO BE WORTH IT! UGH!
