Guild Wars 2

I feel like this would be a great name for a new profession. I know other classes can already use a staff but this class can control a staff of different sizes.

make a staff ele. there’s your staff master. there is a huge variety of staffs in varying sizes and shapes. no they’re not going to make a ‘profession’ called a staff master. we’re, most likely, not going to see any new professions at all and if we do it will be a long way off.

Also lets not forget all the professions in this game are based on what type of magic a character uses (or in the case of engineer none at all), not what weapons they use

i think ANET basically have covered all the classes we can think of when they should have actually spared one or two for future possible expansion. Engi in particular, i think should have been spared.

staff master ? i don’t know what you actually meant by “staff of different sizes…”

sarcasm follows.

and a proffession called axe-master!
and shield-master! Dual wield them sons’a …..

That sounds ridiculous.

I think I’m leaning slightly toward this being a joke thread.

+1 for dual-wielding shields though.

Alright, sure.

But only if they also release another class called “sword master.” And then another one called “Longbow master.” Let’s not forget “Axe master.” Aww hell, let’s just make a new class for every weapon because logic.

I’m not in favour of tying a class to the weapon they use. Give it a week after the class comes out and people will whine about not being able to use a greatsword on there staff master.

I don’t think there’s a need for any new class because the eight we already have cover pretty much any new class you can think of if you play one of them in a certain way.

For instance, if you want a ritualist, you can run a ranger with a full spirit build, and have those spirits move etc. Alternatively, run a Guardian with all spirit weapons.

I don’t know exactly what you mean by staff master, but I do think that a new weapon that would be like a bo-staff ( http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/scale_small/10/100757/1914616-kilik_sc4.jpg or just think about Donatello from TMNT ) would be a cool new weapon type. I could imagine an ele, warrior and guardian to use it at least, a bit like one class in Aion wields it. Though it would probably run out of different designs rather quick unless it included weapon looks like naginata (basically a lance looking weapon). That would go towards polearms however and I think those weren’t coming after all?

(sorry if this made little to no sense at all, I haven’t had my morning coffee yet>.>)

I’m still waiting for the Commando to go live.

Samurai Jack?

Yeah, most profession suggestions are quite bad, sometimes idiotic…

Like:

• Mage as healer class (Elementalist, doh)
• Psionic who controls foes (Mesmer, doh)
• and now the Staff master (Elementalist, double doh)

Sounds like an adult movie.
