Guild Wars 2

Specializations! Our classes will be able to become a new and exciting “sub profession” with this mechanic! I’m very pumped about this and can’t wait to discover the rest! So I created this thread to speculate and find out what the community wants their profession to specialize in!

Now, it has not been confirmed that profession A will only have 1 specialization. It may have multiple specializations, so go crazy with your idea’s!

At the moment, the following specializations are confirmed or speculation. Weapons confirmed will be added next to their name:

Heavy

• Warrior
  None confirmed

• Guardian
  None confirmed
  Paladin: More emphasis on healing others and dealing DPS.

• Revenant
  None confirmed
  Summoner: Specializing in many spiritual legends from the past and dealing mainly DPS through them.

Medium

• Engineer: Greathammer
  None confirmed

• Ranger: Staff
  Druid: Will use staves and is more magically attuned to nature.

• Thief
  None confirmed
  Assassin: Using more melee weapons and heavy use of obscurity.
  Pirate: Heavy use of rifles and guns.

Light

• Elementalist
  None confirmed
  Pyromancer: Specialize in the power of Fire!
  Aquamancer: Specialize in the power of Water!
  Geomancer: Specialize in the power of Earth!
  Aeromancer: Specialize in the power of Air!
  Misceromancer: Specialize in combining the 4 elements, creating Lava, Mud, Steam, … spells abilities! (Miscere is latin for combining)

• Necromancer: Greatsword
  None confirmed
  Death knight: Using great swords and berserker tactics.

• Mesmer: Shield
  None confirmed
  Chronomancer: Using time to manipulate the enemy.
  Inquisitor: Using various conditions or boons to punish actions by enemies.

Inquisitor[Mesmer]: Using various conditions or boons to punish actions by enemies. Dagger?

Ooh, I like Inquisitor! Could use magic of “Fate” to decide damage or something crazy.

An elementalist could either concentrate in a specific element, becoming a Pyromancer, Geomancer, Aeromancer or Hydromancer, or it could learn to combine the elements, becoming for example a Weathermancer.

Whatever Mesmer is, it’s going to use shield per the announcement video. Necromancers get greatswords and Engineers get hammers.

As stated, there’s no telling how many specials there’ll be per profession[I’m guessing 3]. OP does have to add that engi will be using hammers, though.
