Guild Wars 2

This thread brought up the unexpectedness of “dragon hunter” as the guardian specialization. I can understand that new weapon options necessitates a change in mechanics, but I agree that it seems to be completely out of left field, and contrary to the theme of the class.

I’d like to see options for specialization, at least two (including the currently planned ones). Not every mesmer is going to want to be a chronomancer (as sexy as the specialization is…), so why can’t they have another option… perhaps Illusionist. In fact, all classes should have a specialization themed after the class-specific PvP titles. Magus for elementalist, Paragon for guardian, Phantom for necromancer… these are existing concepts of the classes that many people — myself included — find fit the theme of their characters.

That’s my suggestion. Thoughts?

Anet has already said that the elite specs we’re getting with HoT are only the first batch. More will follow, either in regular updates or coming expansions.

^ What he said. A-net plans for every profession to have at least 3 elite specializations to choose from someday.
