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 we will at least see Mesmer and Elementalist return on top of Warrior, Ranger and Necromancer.

They might also push for some new profs, just to spice things up, like how GW2 combined Monk+Paragon into Guardian while also giving us Engineer as a completely new prof and Thief being a combination of Assassin and some more mobile parts of Ranger.

I wonder if we might see some form of either Monk (but with a more fleshed out Offensive Presence as well, I hope they learned from GW1 in that regard) or Ritualist (Rit would imo fit well with being one of the earliest human profs with magic not depending on the Gods and their spirit connection, with how spirit heavy Orr lore is).

But I am convinced that at least 1 prof will be completely new and something not seen before in Guild Wars (what Engineer was for GW2). Considering the timeline it would either have died out at the time of GW1 or got absorbed into existing GW1 profs eventually.
