Guild Wars 2

So, with the reaper, we got something interesting. Gee stated that each of the three trait lines you could get as a reaper were “themed” – one for a defensive sort of character, one for a chillomancer, and one for a sort of “unstoppable nightmare” type. I took a quick look at the Chronomancer and the Dragonhunter, and noticed something interesting – with a little bit of shuffling, you could very easily make themes out of their trait lines as well.

With this in mind, perhaps we can make some predictions regarding what the druid will capable of. What their themes could be. As I’ve stated elsewhere in this forum, I can imagine three major things being a big part of the druid elite spec. Namely, Support, CC, and a buff to pets. I don’t put much stock in the idea that Anet might do transformations. I can’t see transformations into animals doing anything that basic weapon skills don’t already do, and to my knowledge they’ve stated that two-handed weapons granted to a class will have a larger focus on those particular weapons, and transforming isn’t conducive to that.

What do you think? I feel like a druid could be themed around pet buffs, support, or debilitating enemies with this idea, personally, but discussion is where it’s at.
