When looking at the Druid, we can say without a doubt that this elite spec come from the racial background of the human race.

Do you think that other E-Spec concept could originate from other race? In my opinion, I think it would be a pretty interesting idea. While our understanding of the other race background may be a bit more shallow than the one we got from human, we could still imagine a few possibility based on what we know.

Here is how I see things for the different races :

Humans : Druid (well it’s already here )

Norns : This is a proud and alouf race that like to boast about their own strenght but are also really close of their totem spirit. I think they would likely find a way to fuse their pet’s into their weapon to fight as one.

Sylvarii : Sylvarii directly originate from nature, they are linked to it as tightly that they are linked to the dream. They should be able to create an unique spec that directly take controle of the natural force of nature maybe even replace their pets by spirits of nature that would fight by their side.

Asuras : Asura are so proud of themself that they tend to look down on any other race. They grow with golem that are no more than slave to them. I expect them to be able to create a specialization that rely on chemical or magic to directly enhance their pet in order to make them fight for them.

Charrs : For me they are the closest of the wild animals. They value their allies and are master at survival and great commaders. I think they are the closest to the actual ranger, they would most likely create an elite spec that focus a bit more on survival aspect that goes further in the line of what we can see on the actual ranger.

And you how would you see these race create an E-spec for the ranger?

No core profession should be balanced around an optional elite specialization.

Really? I don’t feel that way at all. In my opinion, Druid is more closely correlated to Norn than humans — and even that is a stretch.

No, he is right when saying that Druids are originally part of human lore and culture. (see https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Druid )
There’s even an event chain in Auric Basin (Somewhere between Eastwatch Post and Bristleback Bluff) that focuses on tracking ancient runes left behind by the original Druids hundreds of years ago.

@OP: I like the idea, however ANet tried really hard to make the Druid E-spec dissociated from Human lore, so I can hardly imagine them making future E-specs blatantly related to other races’ lore.
