Oh, I meant as a crafting discipline. Wait, this still doesn’t make sense, does it?
Interesting concept for a proffession though. Musical theatre meets combat. I might like it.
Once more, with feeling!

It just needs fleshing out a bit more. It’s not the first time it has been suggested and fundamentally it is an interesting idea.
Was initially thinking of it as a craft, but now I’m thinking if Mesmers use light and therefore illusion to cause damage, we could have a bard or minstrel prof who uses sound and hence music to entrance (taunt), deafen (daze or stun), etc on foes. Say buffs like inspire (might or ferocity) for allies with a Virtuoso elite.
I quite like that idea. And with each skill playing an exclusive mini tune/tone.
Oh yeah! That would be awesome! And I can already see the names of skills and traits; Strike the bass, Bad harmony, Pitch please!
Kvothe the Kingkiller would applaud this idea, although I don’t know how it could fit GW lore.

Hey! Kvothe! Awesome series. I really wish Rothfuss would hurry up with his next book. And I didn’t know the GW2 professions were lore based. Yeah, that would be really hard to do.
Also c/f Arithon s’Ffalenn, Masterbard of Athera in the excellent Wars of Light and Shadow series by Janny Wurts.
So long and thanks for all the skritt

They have a very loose base, but it exist. You can notice in the books, and in the info inside the game too.
Thinking a little more deeply, a musician fighter could probably fits as a mesmer elite spec, using sound to confound and enchant. Mix it with a little Dredge sonic tech, and you can have a really sound elite(pun intended). It wouldn’t be that hard if they take this route.

So you’re asking for a minstrel class like in LOTRO? I’m in.

Hey thanks. Got something new to read. Good Thanksgiving I’d say!

That’s actually a pretty cool combo of light and music. Very dramatic! That would create one helluva brilliant performance during a fight! Blood on the dance floor!
the scribing crafting discipline. would make far more sense to go with since its in the
game already but yet not all can do this unless they are in a guild !! or own a guild and
able to do it !! thus scribing crafting discipline. would be a far more better add to the
game its self as a whole !! but do not think the devs get that point
no new system upgrades coming
Perhaps some kind of reward track in WvW or anywhere except scribing, for that matter.
Does it make sense to have a scribe using guild mats, crafting for just one player interested in the discipline?

Well, yeah in retrospect, it does seem that if we had the scribe discipline designed for the individual, it would make the musician craft redundant. But the devs seemed to have designed that specifically for guilds. It’s just weird not having a fantasy game without music as some sort of main element. Don’t know how it would it as a craft really; just toying with the idea. Thanks to some posts here, a light weight profession seems more plausible. Who knows, GW3 maybe? Acoustic-based skills and specs would surely be interesting to try in pvx or wvw even.
This reminds me of my LOTRO minstrel. I’d love to have something akin to that, it’d be pretty cool to sing my enemies to death.

I was thinking this is more an old school D&D Bard, myself.
I would also be partial to following a Guardian about, singing "Brave Sir Robin".
“Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Steve R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn.”
I’ve heard some painfully bad music in my time… so it could work!
The repetitive nature of combat may be problematic. If pressing 1 played “We Will Rock You” each time (or anything really), it would get old real quick.

Oh yeah! That would get old pretty quick. Okay then, sound effects or just notes for the attacks with cool names and effects. With all number of keys we hit while playing, we’ll literally make music while we bring down a target. But basically, musical mayhem is what I’m imagining.
