I think I'll really like druid, very different from other healing classes I've played. And I'll have to start bringing my fern hound along with me in groups!
Glad I could help! There's certainly lots of different healing builds to use since it really depends on what the group requires. GW2 originally didn't have raids, so technically there were no real healers like this as everyone was kinda responsible for themselves in a sense (everyone could heal, everyone usually had some sort of defensive buffs, etc). With the added of Elite Specs it was easier to add healing mechanics into the game. Even so, it's definitely different healing than other games I have played as well (not 1 spell I can spam for consistent healing on 1 target, etc.)
Ele's can also be healers, which was the reason why I first my Zyera an ele back then because I loved being able to help support others but now there are some specs for them to heal as well!
