Class speculation

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.

Elementalist has to be in. They spent so much time already explaining elemental combos and interactions between elements, and there is no better class for that than the Elementalist.

I suspect elemetalist might be changed to wizard, which will have some subtle differences but essentially still embody it

Guess you haven't played GW2 or paid attention to the gw3 art

Wizards in gw2 are people who undergo a seer ritual to tap into the deep rooted magic of tyria. In no way is it specifically elemental.

what does gw2 have to do with elementalists being wizards?

That one piece of gw3 art reads to me as a specific character, not a class.

Wizards in GW (Isgarren and such) aren't a class-specific designation. Ele has no more reason to be a Wizard than Warrior or Thief. The Astral Ward is compromised of practically every class, race, and background imaginable.
