Guild Wars 2

So time for more Elite Spec’s to come to the front for ANET to consider.

For me I want to suggest Dervish for my Ranger.

Now I know that Charr and Asura and Norn and Sylvari won’t go for the Human setup from GW’s 1.

But that’s easy to change and hence why my suggestion is linked to Ranger and not any other base Profession.

So, as sadly Anet prolly won’t add new weapons for this next expansion, I will suggest the closest equivalent for a Scythe which would be a hammer.

All skills subject to balancing =-)

(The final Elite skills is how you get around the Human Gods issues but can only be used by Rangers and this is why its best if Dervish Spec is used on Ranger!)

Pets are no longer usable as you merge with them so you cannot have them as tank bait or attackers.

That’s so Dark Souls.

Lol No Dark Souls is so Guild Wars 1!!

I would prefer a brilliant new elite class called:

The Ranger
He can use his bow and can hit some object from distance without “block”, “reflect” or “obstruct” popup.
His Special Ability is:
He can call his pet or fight without and using a pet specific buff

I was actually disappointed with the next elite spec weapon. That would have fit so well if it was Hammer with a Pet/Shaman oriented mechanic, which the name seems to tell.

Now I can only see the weapon of the spec to be Condition or Sword 2.0.

Bunny Thumper with Physical skills and a CC theme would be amazingly fun!

How about a Warden elite spec? I mean the current Ranger is a mixture of the warden, ranger and beastmaster. Maybe a shield? To add extra armor.
