Are you suggesting that they dont qualify as support to you because they're also not doing damage and only healing/buffing?

Like, DK is overall more of a tank than a support but also has a crap ton of CC and high burst if built correctly. But that isn't support, CC is utility. Support would fall under buffs and healing.

I gotta say magden they have great heals great buffs on top of roots and snares.

Templar is a close second but a good magden helping his group is far more annoying to deal with then a good Templar imo.

Magnecro tank has a lot of debuffs and control that might not get the kills but makes it much easier for the team.

Templar >= Warden >>> Nightblade.

Sorcerer is good, but it's limited to small scale because the matriarch heals only 3 people.

Dragonknight is a bad healing class. If by support you mean healing.

I don't have any experience yet with necromancer, but they look strong on paper.

Magwarden is an amazing small group support.

not really counting heals as support. to me support is a non dedicated role.

negate, aoe immobilize, off heals with resto back bar.

Permafrost brings a slow, stun, damage, and Major Protection. Grove it's the least expensive healing ultimate in the game. Corrupting Polen brings Major Defile. Leaching Vines give Minor Life Steal. With the way these thing mechanically play, they are top of the heap for group composition support. Whether you are going strictly heals or a support with some teeth.

Someone that summarized the issue way better than me.

Templars are still great healers though ...

in raid we differentiate between support (purge bot/and if you still have rapid bot); healers and dds (stam/mag).
one of the best purge bots is dk cause you give so many synergies (tallons/banner/bubbles) which hit crazy high with harmony Train on jewellery (on dds).

sorc support is also a must in any raid; root/streak/conduits to good to miss

This is a new generation thing, that's all I can come up with on this one.

Support classes have never been considered healers - at least not in my generation. Nor does it make much sense to me to qualify them as such. This game doesn't really have a support class - all they have is Tanks, Damage Dealers, and Healers. That is why these are typically referred to as the "Holy Trinity" of MMORPGs.

An example of a support class would be like the Loremaster from LOTRO - who specializes in crowd control or Red Mage from Final Fantasy XI - who focus on refresh and enhancement spells. Those are proper support classes. Healing is generally considered it's own role with its primary function being to keep the group alive.

I would say Night Blades personally - especially the Shadow Line. They are good are hiding, fearing, stunning... burning siege engines etc.
