Tank or Healer?
I'm kind of new to Tera but not quite, i've played it abit way back but only a little, I got a ninja to level 40 and hated it, then had a sample of other dps and wasn't a fan of them either, I'm like either being frontlines or backlines, so I ask, Which is in higher demand? Which should I go for? I can't go for which I enjoy the most because I enjoy them both in MMO's, I've recently come to hate being a dps because I've noticed a pattern that it's always competitive at higher levels and it's less about fun and more about whether your a good DPS or not, plus there's the whole what's in the meta and what's currently the most valid and best to use and I don't really want to be in that web of problems later on. ty for reading

in what matters of healers, Priests are more friendly than Mystics, due to the fact that there is less margin of error with a priest than with a mystic. Mystic is kind of, it will require you some degree of awareness to play it correctly.
Now, if you like to get close and personal with huge monsters, then you probably want to choose a tank. Currently there are 4 tanks in game: Lancer and Brawler as main tanks, and Berzerker and Warrior as secondary tanks.
Playing as Brawler, from my experience, is fairly easy (Brawler mains will set me on fire for saying that their class is easy) You smash the buttons and kill everything, cause Brawler is an offensive tank that currently is broken AF, doing a lot more DPS than a pure DPS class, a tank.....
Only thing you may need to get used to, is Growing Fury management. Brawlers are also like Priests, there is less margin of error, and they are ping friendly too.
Lancers on the other hand, are your Defensive Tank. Unfortunately you need good ping to play Lancer, cause if your ping is bad, your skill rotations will simply not trigger. Is a fun class to play, but requires more skill to master than Brawler.
Next you have Warrior and Berzerker, your secondary tanks. Currently no one uses or even thinks about taking them to tank, cause they simply suck currently at tanking. Warrior Tanking will be viable once again after their revamp comes to NA so you may wanna look into it a bit.
Finally, if you choose any of them, healer or tank, be prepared to carry a lot of pressure. Often the first person who is blamed for a wipe, is either the healer or the tank, so you gotta learn to just eat all the hate and keep playing.
If your ping is low, lancer can be good choice.
Brawler, you need to keep GF and sometimes, it's kind of annoying.
