Guild Wars 2

From the wording in the presentation it would appear there’s only one specialization per class.

If this is the case, wouldn’t every Ranger be a Druid?

Is there a reason a class wouldn’t want to specialize?

Does it lock out the other weapon options so you can only use the staff?

Will the staff offer a wide variety of gameplay types or will you effectively make the Druid a power OR a condi player?

Are these really specializations at this point or more like hero classes with a much more narrow play type to make PvE content much easier to build?

I think the way they are doing it is like this.

You either pick Ranger or Druid. It’s like the original profession is a specialization itself. So MAYBE you will be restriced certain traits/utilities depending on which specialization you are. So if you pick druid maybe you lose 10 original ranger utlities and get 10 druid utilities, but if you stay ranger you dont have access to the druid utiltities or the staff weapon.

Just my speculation

I agree with tiger.
