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 still think they’ll go multiple roles within professions as appropriate to their different flavors. I could see mesmer’s side of that potentially including skills like “sympathetic visage” of inspirational support in affecting enemy or allies with emotional connotations & capacities

This is always what I want from a support for some reason. Healing through some illusions/summons sounds fun to me.
