Guild Wars 2

Ever since the announcement they have been hyping elites. Even if they barely got a mention people would want to at least try them out, especially on their fave characters.

Which leads me to think the existing 8 professions will mainly be FTPers.

Confusing it still it seems the elites might be behind some sort of a wall. What that wall is exactly nobody is saying unfortunately, which does not help the rumor mill.

No matter what any wall is we would have to unlock it with professions they have spent over half of a year saying are worse than the new stuff. “Look at what you get with elite xyz!”

Does anyone expect us to really be happy at the situation? Am I the only one who will see the classical professions as being somehow ‘lesser’ as of Friday?

I don’t like the look of any of them bar herald. So for me, no they wont.

The professions will be the same, you’ll just get to change out one of your normal specs for an elite one. However from what I saw in the beta weekends the elite specs do offer an advantage over the normal specs, so I doubt many people who have HoT and are lvl 80 will be running normal spec professions.

I don’t think so.

People have different opinions on “what is good”. Warriors were OP back then,and you didn’t see only Warriors running around because of that.
Some people enjoy playing their profession and that will not change because of HoT.

Sure,everyone and their dogs will be playing the new specs on release,but just because it is new,give it 1~ month and everyone will settle on something (Some will stay in their elite spec,and some will go back to normal professions)

The impression I have gotten from reading various forums is that there will likely be plenty rangers still running around. Some seem less than interested in playing Druid.

At least ele will still be around.
