Guild Wars 2

Hey guys. Not sure if this has been asked before, it’s been a while since I’ve been on the forums (I actually took a bit of a hiatus from GW2, but now I’m back!)

Anyways, with all this talk and hype about these cool specializations and how all our professions are getting weapons they previously couldn’t use, it made me wonder: do you think the Revenant is going to get a specialization as well, with a new weapon and everything else that comes with specializing? I can see how it wouldn’t since it’s a brand new profession, but it’d also seem a bit off if it was the only profession without an elite specialization.

Just a thought that popped into my head. It’s good to be back!

Since the devs have outright said that it will, yes, I do think so.

Oh, haha! I obviously missed the memo! Thanks for letting me know, Donari.

Elite Specializations are going to be the “post-80 horizontal progress” they promised us, so excluding a profession from it would indeed be a poor decision.

Personally, I’m hoping that they opt to expand on the idea; just ONE choice of elite spec doesn’t sound like a good way to customize growth. I’m sure it’s development-intensive, so we can probably expect only one at HoT’s release, but I’m personally hopig for them to slip more in, possibly with those “Feature Packs” they sometimes give us.

I mean, just imagine – sure, a Guardian could go “Dragonhunter”, and they’d get a Longbow…. but maybe, instead, they’re also given an alternate option, that gives, Idunno, offhand mace? (Guardians at present have no “dual wielding” at all, and mace seems like the right one to throw in.)

Just as an example of what I mean. Of course, you can only select one (at a time; I’m sure you can respec just as you can with normal traits), but with more options, it would sell the “customization” angle a bit more.

Arenanet has already confirmed that more elite specializations will be coming in the future and have also stated that you can indeed only have one at a time.
