Guild Wars 2

Just a thought, do you think we’ll see enemy NPCs with the new specialization skills?

We already see current mobs and bosses that happen to be playable classes with skills similar to what players have at their disposal. And then there are bosses that have improved versions of what players can use, like Frost’s Ice thrower which is clearly a tweak on the engineer’s flamethrower or those boss mesmers with unique clones and phantasms.

Bosses that use the new tricks available to elite specializations could be interesting and a little terrifying. For example, a boss chronomancer that can continuum shift their health back if you fail to burst their portal in time or rewinds players to undo heals would be a total pain to fight, but potentially interesting.

How do you think new enemies might make use of elite specializations?

We likely will see enemies with the new specs. Like you said, we already see mobs that are pretty much the classes.
