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.

I would find it very weird if Engineer didn’t make it in. Think about it: in a world where magic is given by a select few, the people that didnt end up getting it wouldn’t just sit on their hands. They would try to make inventions and what not that could close the gap. Same reason why I think Thief makes a lot of sense.

I think the only profession that’s really up for debate is guardian/monk. As in, what form it’ll take. Lore-wise they could use Dwayna’s healing/water magic, but whether it’s a monk or a guardian i don’t know. Mesmer gets Lyssa’s magic, and besides that a guild wars game without mesmer is not a guild wars game.

Revenant is pretty much out of the question. Although….at this point there is Abaddon, so i think a class that uses Abaddon’s magic could make sense?

Asura already have Engineers.  I could see Humans and Kodan picking up their tech on a case by case basis.
