Guild Wars 2

So during the Tracking the Aspect Masters, I found it interesting that the Master of Lightening and Wind seemed to be fighting with fists and used a handful of skills that I didn’t recognize.

Not my video, but skip to about 3 mins to watch some of their abilities: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_E1qIM4dwrE

So are these new abilities for NPCs, or am I just blind and haven’t noticed them before?

If these are indeed new, I was wondering if anyone knew of other occasions where NPCs were given special abilities and attack animation (other than bosses).

Marjory, Kasmeer, Rox, and Bram all appear to have access to the same abilities we as players have. I just found it somewhat interesting that these specific NPCs were given unique fighting animations and abilities.

The Zephyrite Masters (along with the Zephyrite NPCs you see in Dry Top) are fighting using the various Aspect Crystal skills. You can use those same skills yourself during the Aspect Mastery activity that was available during the Bazaar festival.

Man I really hope we might get something like the Zephyrite masters as a profession, but I guess a lot of that is covered by elementalists. Other than that I’d be cool with trying out professions from GW1.
