Guild Wars 2

So for the engineers Espec we learned the War Band kind of outcast certain engineers to scrap yard duty where they innovated new things using the scrap metal they were given.

Beyond the GW1 Lore of, “Some humans went to Maguuma Jungle to get closer to nature and were never seen again” I don’t think I’ve seen any GW2 Druid Lore. There wasn’t any given during Twitchcon presentation was there? Will the Druid Lore be referenced or brought up in the expansion?

And no lore about daredevil, tempest, berserker, herald, reaper and chronomancer.

Aww really? I was certain there was more lore to these especs. There should be. I’d like to see a profession specific quest or story mission to learn more about it.

Reaper’s Lore is tied up with Rytlock…his explanation will BE the Reaper lore.

I think you just miss typed revenant there bud

There are some quests involving druids in the Brisband Wildlands. Beyond that and some quests in GW1 there is very, very little known about the Maguuma Druids.

Reaper: Marjory took up her sister’s sword and started training with Rox on how to use it. Then she presumably teaches her abilities to other necromancers.

Herald: As we’ve seen Rytlock is a herald (he channels Glint). We know Rytlock actually met Glint while she was still alive and I think it is likely that he met her again while in the mists.

On top of that, Daredevil seems to come from the bandits/White Mantle based on looks and skills, and chronomancer may be from Kasmeer (she does use Time Warp a lot in the Fort Salma instance).

Thus leaving tempest (Zojja begins shouting at mordrem?) and berserker (Canach gets lit on fire by the mob seen in trailer and he uses that to empower his rage?).

There is lore on the druid or the concept behind “druids.” If you want to know more watch Wooden Potatoes on youtube. His initial video about the elite spec has thoughts behind the lore of the druid.

I believe it’s this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Le-PwWi6BYQ video. Keep in mind it came out right after the reveal image and thus was a theory video over what it could be also has some lore ideas in it.

I believe ArenaNet has stated that unlocking the elite specializations will involve doing a few class specific (lore-related) quests, so you may be in luck!
