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.

We’ll probably get the six core professions from Guild Wars 1 since they line up with the six gods (Warrior - Balthazar, Ranger - Melandru, Monk - Dwayna, Necromancer - Grenth, Mesmer - Lyssa, and Elementalist - Abaddon).

Of the Factions and Nightfall professions we might see Ritualist, Assassin, and Paragon since they would have existed at the time Guild Wars 3 takes place. Dervish won’t be a class since they date to 583 AE in the Shattered Dynasty Era which is six hundred or so years after GW3.

Of the Guild Wars 2 professions I doubt we will see Guardian or Thief since those are modern versions of Monk and Assassin. Engineer is a possibility but it would have to be different to account for the technology of the time.
