Guild Wars 2

Simple: Brainstorm Ideas! Let’s get creative!

Shaman/Mystic

BRING The Dervish Class Back..!

I love these threads, and I love to see the threads pop up as I see innovative profession ideas pop up.

Although there are a few Professions that still need to be brought into the world that are not covered by new professions.

Dervish – none yet really covers this, they are a mystical scythe weapon wielding class that uses aspects of all the gods to boost their damage. Some may say the Guardian fills this roll, but the Dervish is similar but in and of it self a different basket of goodness.

Chronomancer – Not really sure what this Profession in tales other than it was going to be release in Euthopia expansion for Guild Wars before it got scraped for Eye of the North.

Summoner – Not really sure what this Profession in tales other than it was going to be release in Euthopia expansion for Guild Wars before it got scraped for Eye of the North.

Monk – Monks are pretty much covered in GW2. Guild Wars had duel professions, a common spec for monks was a Monk warrior or a Warrior Monk. We can find this incarnation in the Guardian’s.

Ritualist – Very very interesting Profession although I feel that with how the Mesmer and Necros work now they somewhat feel that role that the Ritualist once filled. With that said I think with some tweaking and re hashing this could be a pleasurably choice.

Paragons – All about support and shouts, kind of like a bard but not. Like the Ritualist we see this type of profession being covered in Warrior’s and Guardians that spec into their shouts. Although having a Profession that is definitely stronger in that field rather than okay at it would be cool.

Assassins – This profession has been converted into the Thieve so we probably will never see that again.

I would like to see more melee driven Professions’ as we only have 3 primary in comparison to 8 professions. Yes all professions’ can do Melee to a degree but let’s face it, Elementalist can do as much damage from a far as they can close. Necros same as Ele’s, Enginer’s can do damage up close but they are far better suited for ranged as their weapon choices all reflect range. Rangers can do a lot of damage up close but can put out more damage % at range. Mesmers even with their melee weapons deal out a lot more damage when they are further away than close.

I think it will be easier for them to add a new race then a new profession, but to keep up with the thread, my suggestion is ACROBAT a melee fighter as a combination of a martial artist and a gymnast
