I hear lots of people saying that the Dervish and Ritualist should be added, and eventually they probably will. I didn’t play Guild Wars 1 but most, if not all of the professions in GW2 were taken from GW1. Seeing this, I think its reasonable to assume that new professions will actually be revamped “old” classes.
So instead of asking for entirely new ideas for professions, we should be giving ideas on how to morph GW1 professions into GW2 professions that we want to play.
And so as such, I suggest the Ritualist ( if added ) should be a scholar with a higher emphasis on melee fighting and toughness.
They would be tough, like the necromancer, but have the potential for burst outside of their utilities. They should have a variety of melee weapons that focus on moving fast in combat, being fluid, and attacking really fast.
Of course they would be using spirits as well ( as I’m pretty sure that’s what they did in GW1 ), so I propose they use them like a hunters pet.
It would float beside they and could be changed to suit a persons preferred playstyle, but they shouldn’t be directly involved in damage. They could apply various boons on you that improve combat toughness and speed, and also apply non-damaging conditions on enemies, like chill or immobilize.
Of course you should also have access to spirits that do damage enemies, providing tangible damage, but those would be utilities and more like spirit weapons rather than the necros pets that last until they die.
I think this would make for an interesting style of combat and a relatively unique profession. Something like the Soul Weavers from Dragonfable to whoever has played that game.

I would liketo seethe Dervish because they used Scythes (I’m a necro so yeah… Make it happen ANet)

But in there cancelled Add on “Utopia” They were going to add Chronomancers and Summoners

Summoners would basically be like necros or rangers but I would still like to see this.

on the other hand Chronomancers sound like a lot of fun and I would defiantly make one.

As much as I would like to play a Chronomancer, Mesmer’s have quite a few speed altering spells and I personally feel like Chronomancers would be too close to Mesmer’s.

True, The main Issue I though of with Chronomancers is the Balancing, since besides speed, a chronomancer has control over time, I mean reversing time aging to waken and all that OP! XD

But I would really like to see how they went about it.

A class that focused on time would be cool, but I hate comparing it to the mesmer. The mesmer has one ability that is said to actually control time, and that is time warp. One move doesn’t immediately make mesmers masters over time and space, it just makes them mages who minored in time magic at college.

I don’t think Balancing would be all that hard. They could summon temporal entities, reverse attacks, etc. as far as skills go. The main problem with them would be their similarity to Mesmers.
