Bring Back Dervish!
The whole concept of the dervish conflicts with some of the game’s ideologies e.g. how do you reconcile the whole “CHARR NEED NO GODS!” with a spinning mystic who draws his power from prayers?
If you’d said ritualist, on the other hand…
In case you didn’t know, Dervishes channel the power of their gods to help them in combat. So basically, charr can’t be dervishes because they killed their gods. Sylvari have no gods. Asura believe in a different higher power. And norn already channel their gods’ power. And when you think I’ll say only humans can be dervs, the truth is, they already are technically(hounds of balthazar, avatar of melandru, shadow of grenth, prayer to lyssa,dwayna, and kormir).
P.S. there can’t be any more classes becuase we have all the possible roles filled.

Meh. I disagree with the naysayers that say Derv and Rit will never make a comeback. I also despise people saying Guardian=Rit because of summon weapons. No No No.
I am sure if and/or when ANet puts Dervishes to discussion to add to the game they would definitely need to rethink them. It probably would be hard to do but then again think of the bosses in GW1 that we had to capture some Elites from. They werent all human.
Dervishes had the Avatars but since ANet is not going to give racial-profession elites since the balance wouldnt work they could simply remove them and have the elites be based around the wind and earth like dervishes were or just have basic Avatar elites such as: Avatar of Dust, Sand, Tempest, Storms, etc.
Dervishes could make it in as they were an important inclusion for the Elona expansion and I would find it weird that they would not add them again. I would see the biggest issue being the armor since the armors in this game are not profession specific but are classed together.
