Guild Wars 2

I was thinking that it would be pretty cool if the Monk class made a return in the game. I have never personally played the first Guild Wars but if it is as good as Guild Wars 2, then the Monk would be an awesome class to play. I was thinking that they could use Chi to build up for more powerful attacks and could use the Dagger, Sword, Hammer, Shortbow, Staff, Warhorn, Spear, and Trident. As for the abilities, that will be up to the creators to decide. What do you think, people?

GW1 monks were made into Guardians.

The Monk wouldn’t fit with the lore of the game. The Guardian is an advanced form of the Monk. GW1 took place 250 years ago, so throughout time, professions change, IRL and in game. So essentially the Monk profession spread its teachings throughout the world and was blended with 2 other previous professions I believe and they formed the profession we have today. The Guardian. Here is a link to the wiki page. At the bottom they discuss the lore back story for the guardian.

“It’s a pile of Elonian protection magic, mixed with a little monk training, wrapped up in some crazy ritualist hoo-ha from Cantha. A real grab bag of “you can’t hurt me”. They’re called guardians, and simply put, they mean trouble."

in GW1 they were called the wamo’s (warrior/monk), nothing mystical about that.
however, in lore they do fit, they can be the martial artists of GW.
ppl have always said that the assassin is replaced by the thief, if replaced you mean weakened to oblivion then sure.
i think that if the real assassin doesn’t return then the hand-to-hand combat from the assassin could be brought in to the monk, makes sense anyway. (just see the monk dance )

I would love to see additional classes and a new zone. My idea is bring a form of Nightfall back. With it would come 2 classes Paragon and Dervish (Gives a good nod to Gw1 players) and a smallish new continent maybe 1/4 or 1/3 of size of the explorable map is now.

Paragons could be a heavy armour, low-medium dmg spear/javelin throwing, offensive utility class bringing perma fury, team swiftness, easy might stacking, vulnerability. They could also have shouts to stay with the heavy armour shouting thing Anet has going on.

Dervishes could be a medium armour, high DPS, melee only, scythe swinging, bad-kitten . They could be melee only having a good amount of sticking potential useing a Scythe, Swords, Daggers and possibly a hammer. Their elites could be Avatar of Insert God Here giving them a new move set for X amount of time.
Both classes would bring a new weapon throwing spears/javelins and scythes respectively exclusivity for that class at the start and possibly released to other classes later on.

What this would do if bring more variety, more content and a new breath of life into the game which I would really appreciate.

TL;DR: Nightfall, Paragons and Dervs and a new small explorable continent would be awesome.
