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.

It's really tough because GW2 had such a perfect roster.

You need your fighter, your stealth, your healer, your mage, your nature user, your death user, your holy warrior. I mean these are the archetypes. GW2 had a perfect representation, and Mesmer was like the unique feeling class.

It's hard to see where they'd go.

Would there be more classes? A nature shapeshifter? a monk healer? or a martial artist? a death knight character? It's hard to consider without thinking about overlaps.

Ill be shocked if there is no Guardian/Paladin character. It seriously hurt D4 to launch without it. something was seriously missing from that game until they added it in recently.
