Technically each character is a class.  But each class in bdo has a specialization. so there kinda is lol.

makes sense
there are no roles than
world bosses dont demand a tank because of AoE
guild bosses dont demand a tank because of AoE
nodewars dont demand anything beside protected area to push
and the dmg is to bursty to make use of something like a healer

thats it

gota admit that having a lighthouse witch/wiz in a guildboss fight is always a plus
but unless you run out of health pots it dosnt change anything cos most time you get one-hit anyway

that beeing said i would enjoy something instanced like dungeons with capped resources like you only have a handfull of potions on you
and than you have to make it trough actual using role mechanics so that wiz/witch can heal and warrior/valk land the first hit on mobs to aggro
and sorc/ninja/kuno stealth behind the dangerous mobs to activate some levelers or whatever i duno

I put roles. Roles and classes are two completely different things. Also that statement doesn't answer the question or is contributing to the topic.

A healer in BDO is essentially a wizard/witch.

Since tanks are not as important BDO as in a traditional mmorpg id rather go with wiz in group situations since you can dps, buff and heal your group.

In solo situations id go with a more tanky class like striker since he got some really good Survivability abilities.  Other classes that could be considered as tanks due to their passives and skills are Warriors, Valkyries and Mystics maybe.

like that you put heal to the very last position cos this is how it is
reality in bdo is that you cant get harmed when the enemys is dead so AP > DP or offensive skills > defensive skills
tanky class gameplay  is pressing buttons beeing under the influence of CC effects until you drop dead
AP is all that matters both PvE and PvP

Seeing this post made me curious is it bad if I go full DP on my witch knowing well that grinding is going to be a bit longer.. Reason for it is healing I want to play here as a healer focusing on the rear to support my team in PvP while having some sort of tankynes if the enemy gets to the rear line or I have to jump to the front line on a emergency.

it is

you will still be number 1 choice for any nodewar or guild vs guild activity if you play a DP witch but this is more because of the skill protected area
DP is a meme in nodewars, you will get CC'ed and than like 20 skills hit you and you instantly die
a push is normaly over in a couple of seconds and to make it count AP is what you looking for

on lower gear healing is still quit good if you fight over your rotation on grindspots with a guildy or friend
if you team up with a zerker you can turn him into a unkillable fortress all you need to do is keep your distance and make him handle the enemy*
and heal his ass
this works 10/10 cos i had to deal with this a couple of times on SEA when the gear as still capped to +15 and it is annoying as hell since you never catch the wizard cos he always teleports

hmm i see + I think we got a good reliable zerker in our guild guess the bulldozer part is covered  

Thank you for your share.

Obviously I can go way more into detail but yeah, this game doesn't follow traditional MMO role based play, but each class does more things than another for example. Some may do more damage than others, some are squishier than others. So even though there is no defined role as everyone can be AP or DP, their is still defined characteristics of these classes that can put them into different separate categories. Each class is unique in it's own way, while being similar at the same time putting them in categories.

3 Supports (Can heal/ offer support utility options, great for restoring life, and protecting allies, they can also turn the tide and heavily affect the environment around them, also great at disrupting enemies)= Witch, Wizard, Valkyrie 

4 Bruisers/Brawlers (people who can take a punch and deal a great amount of DPS and burst damage, great for frontline, staggering the enemy, forcing the enemy to reposition or rethink strats, instilling fear into the enemy with their presence)= Berserker, Warrior, Striker, Mystic

4 Carries (People who are squishy/ squishy compared to others but can do a lot of damage, great for bursting down a focused target, and can be very annoying and devastating if not focused, more so than any other category I personally find each Carry unique)= Archer(will be released probably this year on KR), Ranger, Sorceress, Dark Knight

6 Assassins (People who are the squishiest compared to the rest, but make up in it by being very mobile and can get in and get out with ease, tend to have mechanics for stealth or hyper mobility resulting in hard to catch, or hard to keep up with if you don't know what you are doing, aka mosquitos, great for focusing single targets and great for picking off people in back lines while maintaining decent survivability, definitely lone wolf, however they can be just as fatal in 1v1's if you don't know what you are doing.)= Tamer, Musa, Maewha, Ninja, Kunoichi, Lahn

I've seen DP/eva strokers withstand insane amount of dps thrown at them and fail to even scratch them and those were players with tri-tet gear.

Point is, AP monkeys are meta but it dosnt have to be so and there are many examples to prove that dp/eva builds are insanely powerful on certain classes.
