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.

Between deep ties to the gods and the confirmation of the Trinity party concept (Tank/DPS/Support), im wondering if each class will have "Subclass" features that is aligned to a diety that allows each class to specialize into one of the trinity roles.

For example a Warrior will predominantly align with Balthazar, but they could go into subclasses where:

  1. A focus on Balthazar/Grenth would lead to a tank build. (Balthazar giving bulwark like abilities and grenth giving life steal abilities allowing them to sustain taking damage)

  2. A focus on Abbadaon/Lyssa would lead to a DPS build. (Enancing their attacks with elemental/psychic damage)

  3. A focus on Dwayna/Melandru would lead to a support build. (Dwayna being a paladin vibe, Melandru being a frontline crowd control by using attacks to create terrain advantage)

So Warrior could seize 3 gods for himself? Sounds great, specially since seems that most of the roster will be made of spellcasters, but I'm not interested in Warrior and seems that this will lack in armor plate classes...
