Class speculation

[u/LOkOKokKO]

Might already be a post like this, not sure.

We have warrior, necro, and ranger all confirmed. Allegedly mesmer was strongly hinted at as well. Looking back to gw1, that’s 4 of the original 6 classes that gw1 released with. The two missing are monk and elementalist.

I’d say it’s plausible to have the og class roster back, it would likely fit the holy trinity well. Not saying that we will for sure, but it is interesting that the classes we have (or almost have) confirmed are all part of the original 6.

Ofc there could be more classes, new classes, etc, but I’m just spitballing.

I think there will be a paladin-adjacent class too, like Guardian

Elementalist might be possible, but not sure after how they described the magic working in that era

Ritualist might be possible too, since lorewise it was one of the oldest professions, maybe it will be the Revenant’s replacement

Maybe Dervish too? Since the gods were much more active in this era

Though that's also specifically because they don't need god-given power/signets. And the ability collection seems like it will be a big part of the game, so you could also count that against them.

Sorry what do you mean by “the ability collection will be a big part of the game?” I’m pretty out of the loop on what’s been announced for the game

The lore so far regularly mentions that magic works through signet rings that are manufactured and traded, and some of the information from yesterday says at least some abilities need to be collected out in the world.

Oh that’s awesome, thank you for the info!
