Guild Wars 2

Can you please bring back some of the old professions Dervish/Ritualist/Paragon ?? and more customizable weapon skill slots?? It would be really cool to even have a second profession like in guild wars. I really think this would make the game so much better than it already is.

Ritualist and Paragon is basically already in the game via the Guardian (lorewise) Dervish simply wouldn’t work due to how tied it is to the human gods.

They removed the planned secondary professions mechanic because it was a nightmare to balance (as seen in GW1).

I agree that the secondary profession mechanic would just be too difficult to balance with the current system. And doesn’t the guardian have a few aspects of the Dervish already (elite skill forms)?

Lorewise? Do you know anything about Ritualist lore? Or were you speaking about the Dervish lore? Which also doesn’t have to be permanent. The gods left, they can return just as easily.

Do agree with the secondary profession mechanic issue though. Its a better game without it.

Considering that the game is still a nightmare to balance, yeah……its a good thing that secondary professions never made it into this game.

Another failing argument against dervishes…its either the lore that cant be “fixed” or that the flash enchantments wont work. I mean it been 250 years since gw1, things change overtime, nothing stay the same. If monks became guardiands, dervishes can transform into sun walkers or something.

The ONLY thing i miss about paragons is their weapon. throwing spears usable on land yes please. guardian already does pretty much everything else the paragon did. while people state the ritualist has been merged with the paragon to be the guardian, id say it was more the monk and the paragon where merged to become the guardian with a SMALL very very small part of the ritualist. the ritualist(2000+ hours played on one in GW1) hardly even exists in the guardian, only thing is the spirit weapons…which are nothing like the spirits from GW1. id say the necromancer is in fact a merge of the rit because no longer do you need bodys to summon minions.

Lorewise the Guardians have taken abilities from Paragons, Monks and Ritualists and created the new Guardian profession.

The fact that the gods left is not much of an issue. The fact that the gods are strictly humans on the other hand is.
