Basically take this to be a Heavy Armor class, single-hand weaponry, offhand magic. The traits n such are usually so varied and numerous I wont bother making any up. Moderate powered weaponry and magics would create a class capable of altering its situation during a battle similar to an elementalist, while with heavy armor n actual melee weapon skills become a frontline fighter. A class with a multitude of cool flashy skill options would be assumed when using magic.

Personally while I like my guardian, or my warrior, I dont much care for my guardian spamming his scepter skill (which occasionally forces you to spam the clicker to pick something up off the ground mid combat “Jade Maw”). I would like to see a class of this sort in a expansion to the game with the much asked for med/light Shapeshifter type characters. Both would add a fun new depth to combat.

new classes will come out with expansions, just like they did with Guild Wars 1. There are whispers of the first expansion coming out around christmas, but then again, it could be longer. The first gw1 expansion came out 1 year later, but since they are giving us alot of content almost on a monthly basis, they can probably get away with waiting 18 to 24 months from GW2’s release before releasing a new expansion. just have to be patient.
