Character Support Roles

For those unsure what DPS and support roles are:

CONTROLLER:

This role focuses on restoring power to group members, debuffing Boss level opponents and incapacitating lower rank enemies. Controllers have specific debuff abilities that can lower an opponent’s defense, healing and/or damage. It is also the controller’s responsibility to assist with pick ups.

HEALER:

This role focuses on keeping the team alive by healing group members and preventing damage with group shields. Healers have the ability to heal and buff their team mates with high levels of restoration.

TANKS:

This role generally focuses on keeping the group safe by attracting opponents, taking damage in place of other group members and providing control immunity to the group.

DAMAGE:

This Role generally focuses on dealing damage to enemies and completing objectives. All Power Types have the Damage Role available. Damage armor tends to provide higher Might and Precision than other role armor. During alerts and raids, it is the responsibility of the DPS players to assist with pick ups.
