I heard a lot of people saying that Specializations will change the class mechanic.

Okay lets toss the Trailer aside for a while.

So are you telling me that Druid is the only one who can use the staff not the ranger?

So, this means, new weapon that is class specific, New class mechanic, etc = New Class?

Isn’t it the Specialization should be:

Ex:

Mesmer with Shield with Chronomancer Abilities but retains some aspects of the Base Class?

i.e Clones or Illusions or Glamours (Perfect for time) and Enhance it to a more powerful level? At the same time retains the class mechanic?

Isn’t It Specialization is Gaining mastery over a specific aspect of your class? Not coming up with New mumbo jumbo altogether?

Can someone please explain this to me? Thanks!

Yes, only Druid will be able to use the staff. A base ranger will not be able to.

However, you can switch between ranger/druid whenever you are out of combat.

Class mechanic is the F1-F4 skills. Those will behave differently in the specialization.
