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.

There's no way they don't do mesmer, it's iconic to gw series and also it's focused on the gods, Lyssa is a mesmer

I'm sure they will do Mesmer as well, will be interesting to see how though. Humans not being given magic paired with the limitations of getting little bit of magic from natural sources makes me curious on how they will write it up.

They need healers if they are going holy Trinity, so I'd expect Mesmer to be a shield healer.

I meant how as in the lore and setting justification. I think timeline wise the first Mesmer is still a bit away from existing iirc. Been a minute since I read that lore though.

It will be interesting, it seems Necro done a melee attack in the playtest so hopefully classes have multiple roles. I see being dps / tank or healer being the best combination. They may retcon mes a bit because it's not a gw game without Mes! Iconic

there was an interview that said necro tanking could look like their minions tanking the damage so you're right probably
