…
Let us deal with your professions on a deeper scale to show you how pointless and stupid they are.
Dark Warrior- pretty much a darker version of the warrior. This profession is pointless – play a warrior with dark/evil armour and facial scars and call yourself a “dark warrior”.
Gladiator – has a very specific connotation that doesn’t work in GW2 universe. Refers to gladiatorial pits and fighting for money. Any of the other professions could translate to this. A Gladitorial Elementalist could very easily exist in the world. Thereby this class suggestion is pointless
Templar – play a Guardian. They imply almost. Same thing.
Mage – too generic. Elementalist deals with elemental magic (duh), Mesmer with mind magic, necromancer with ritualistic magic. What would a Mage be? Too generic a profession.
Warlock – possible suggestion if we are considering D&D warlocks. Consider a Mage that handles specifically primal/nature magic. This might, however, be fulfilled by a ranger.
Priest -" New Profession with new profession mechanic! Use incense! The priest comes with the incense mechanic – you may calm or slow enemies or even cause damage by using different incenses. Weapons are Staff, Wand, Torch and Focus." Pointless profession idea. Holy warrior is fulfilled by guardian.
My suggestion for a profession would be the Warden
Weapons
Two handed
Hammer – offensive high damage small AOE but slow hitting weapon.
Greatsword – defensive weapon with most skills being in the 600 range. Use deflection and other defensive skills.
Staff – used to summon short term animal spirit minions. Number 1 attack is 1000 ranged
Main hand
Axe – fast attack close range weapon focussing on condition damage. Conditions based weapon relying on bleed, poison, and a defensive deflection/cripple skill.
Mace – 900/600 ranged interrupt weapon – uses confusion on a few skills.
Offhand
Axe – combat weapon – another offensive weapon based around complimenting main-hand axe – more conditions
Dagger – ranged throwing weapon mostly denial skills.
Torch – MOAR FIAR DAMAGE!!! AoE attacks
Underwater
Spear gun – 1200 ranged high damage sniper
Trident – summons underwater animal spirits. Essentially an underwater staff.
Profession specific mechanic.
Animal rage – for a short time the Warden can change his/her mode to be like that of a primal spirit. All can be traited to get rid of negative effects and to increase the positive effects and they effect staff/trident summoned spirits.
F1 – ferocious tiger/lion – increases attack speeds and weapon cooldown for 10 seconds though decreases toughness
F2 – primal bear – gains increased toughness and attack though decreases attack speed for 10 seconds
F3 – angry devourer – attacks cause cripple, bleeding and poison for 5 seconds. Decreases movement speed by 10%
F4 – dog/wolf howl – cause fear (1s) on attacks for 5 seconds and increases movement speed – conditions last longer on you
I might work out traits laters. At the moment I need sleeps.
