Guild Wars 2

Warrior will becoming some sort of thief hybrid makes the most since. Sounds to me like ANET is trying to give every profession something that they don’t have.

What does a warrior not have? That it probably wont get. Spells or magic. Tools or machines. So that leaves us with what. Physical stuff that warrior doesn’t have.

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if warrior gets access to black powder though. Not stealth outright. But probably just the ability to use a black powered field as it is physical.

What else we can probably expect are traps. Probably physical traps that knock down enemy’s or stun them. Probably condition traps that do poison, burning, bleeding and blinding.

Daggers that give warrior access to faster attack speed or F2 Ability!!!I wouldn’t be surprised of dual daggers or at least off hand dagger and dual wield agility becomes a thing in PVE.

I expect this Specialization to be similar to the dagger warrior Gw1 specs. Endurance Dagger. PVE and BB dagger PVP. They will probably call it Shadow Hunter or something.

Cannach is obviously a warrior, but in the LS u can see him laying traps and ambushes so it should be probably clear warrior will get access to traps.

Well, considering that the Dragon Hunter is getting traps, this is unlikely to happen.

I’m starting to wonder if we’re going to get some sort of Warrior/Engi hybrid that uses a offhand pistol and Gadgets. What it would be called I have no idea. That being said, I can’t think of much else atm that makes sense. There’s nothing stopping Warriors from picking up so tech to remain relevant in a word that it rapidly industrializing.

well warrior lacks AOE. Besides Longbow warrior has none. Traps would be a good way for Anet to implement that. And why not? Just because one class is getting traps doesn’t mean another one isn’t too. How many classes currently have Shouts 3 and we know another will be bringing that up to 4.

I cannot imagine warriors getting access to traps, given that the runes of the trapper would automatically give them access to stealth (although I’d love to perform stealthed Eviscerate openers).

In general, I believe that everything pertaining to stealth or teleports will be kept away from the warrior, as it is not the spirit of the class. The warrior already compensates by high stats, high mobility and decent active defense.

If anything, I’d bet for ranger’s Survival.

Warrior doesn’t lack in AoE.
Almost every single warrior skill are multi target AoE except rifle

In addition to the stealth issue, I don’t see ANet giving two classes the same thing, I just don’t. It would potentially cause a huge backlash with players saying “we basically have 3 rangers now” and the like. ANet can make some big mistakes, but when it comes to class creativity and variety they’re generally smart.

I really do want to duel wield pistols though man…I bet Warrior will end up being one of the last specs revealed.

Having acces to stealth would be my dream come true.

Cleave isn’t aoe. In a technical since Logbow fire field 5 person area of effect. Cleave 3 target max melee attack.

Anet said somthing about adjusting runes bcuz of new specializations I wouldnt be surprised if trapper runes just get changed. Like they changed other runes before.

Bcuz gaurdain with stealth is stupid too. they can burst just as hard as a warrior in some cases and in other cases harder.

They may also be losing a some of their sustain because of the virtues changes. We won’t know till we see it in action.
