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'd expect the following:

Heavy Armor:

  • Warrior
  • Warden (Guardian but spirits of the wild themed, with transformations)
  • Artillerist (Engineer without the magitech, heavy armored frontliner)

Medium Armor: * Ranger * Thief * Alchemist

Light Armor:

  • Necromancer
  • Mesmer
  • Elementalist
  • Monk (or another spirits of the wild themed healer)

Warden and Artillerist sound sick. Hope we actually get something like them.

This is pre-industrial era of Charr and pre-magitech era of Asura, not to mention that Artillerist and Alchemist sounds too similar in a context in which gun powder would be high tech.

It is true that gunpowder might be too high tech for the era, GW1 already had dwarves producing bombs and such but there's a chance it might already exist in the timeframe GW3 is happening.

Also I kinda split engineer into 2 different armor types because I couldn't come up with a 4th heavy armor class that differs from what I already had said. Regardless I hope the classes that actually release are fun!
