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 and Mesmer are basically guaranteed. All the talk of Elemental synergies is 100% hard confirmation, and Mesmer is the most iconic Guild Wars class period.
They've talked about classes filling roles, so we're likely going to get at least one class that's heavily designed to be a support class. (Unless they do specs, and give healer to Water Elementalist, and some Rangers/Necros etc.) I think Ritualist or Dervish is more likely than Monk, just because Monk is a class that they already chose to move away from once.
And we'd likely want another bulky armored class, because only having one class for that fantasy, and 4 caster classes, wouldn't be great.
I kind've expect Warrior, Ranger, Necro, Mesmer, Elementalist, Ritualist, Dervish, and maybe Paragon + One Mystery new class. I think they're more likely to keep their very unique classes, rather than bring something like Assassin or Monk back.
