First off I’ve been playing gw2 for about 2 weeks and I have thought of a few ideas. One idea was for a new profession that would be a dragon like profession with some of the elder dragon’s powers, and for a few reasons. The profession could use abilities to summon an elder dragon’s minions and use them in combat, or the profession could use the elder dragon’s powers to transform into a form similar to the elder dragon’s minions or even into an dragon.
I would like to see a profession that could transform into alternate forms as a combat style (more often then others I mean) and I think it would be nice to see my character use the elder dragons powers against them.
I,ve seen some-what an example of this during the crucible of eternity dungeon against the boss “subject alpha” who could use abilities that represented each of the elder dragons powers.
Anyway that is one my ideas for gw2 and please do not criticize it thank you.

It would be interesting to see a conversion of the deverish style of fighting into a dragon style. However, there are a few reasons that this would be tough to do.

1. Go against lore.
2. Cause problems with inquest mentality
3. View by npcs as being bad/not a good thing to do.

What about some one who was tainted by the dragon’s power but still has control over there will. They are looked down on and some what hated but they are not necessarily evil.
Just a random though it would be nice to see a 3ed heavily armor class.

Main : Jski Imaginary ELE (Necromancer)
Guild : OBEY (The Legacy) I call it Obay , TLC (WvW) , UNIV (other)
Server : FA

I like your idea but there is one thing about guild wars you have to learn, LORE is extremely extremely important.

Anything that goes against lore is almost impossible to implement ingame (minus probably SAB..)

Seems like an idea of a teenager who just wants to be a dragon.

Doesn’t fit at all.

The Norn already have shape shifting powers as a racial, it is not great but it is there.

As others have said it doesn’t fit the lore and it also kind of goes against the whole premise that your character is a hero, if you implement "shunned " powers.
You will notice that there are no bad player characters.

I do like the idea of the dragon powers though and using that against the dragon minions.
To be honest your idea reminded me of a single player game called Divinity II RDK- that was a very cool game .

It is always good to have ideas, and if you want the devs to see them, do post them in the suggestions forum. Keep up the good work. =)

Wouldn’t work.

For one, the Elder Dragons are not pets. You can’t just tame them.

For two, the powers of the minions of the Elder Dragons are massive. The “dragons” that we fight in the game, except for Zhaitan, are exactly that, minions of the Elder Dragons. Can you imagine a class being able to summon Claw of Jormag or The Shatterer at will?

For three, the Elder Dragons are corruptive. In comparison, our players are heroes. You don’t mix those two.

And besides, we already have mobs that are dragon-corrupted members of the races we have. So the suggestion does not work at all lore-wise, as every single player would have the ability to attack you and every single NPC would automatically attack you.
