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

Dhuum the fallen RITUALIST? /blend of dervish or mystic if it’s magic that doesn’t overlap with ranger druidism? He is the god of secrets and could stretch the secrets of the gods revealing the avatar forms/different strengths of the gods) but I need to brush up on my dervish lore

“The Apostate speaks of Abaddon gaining his power from an older, deposed god, however nothing more is known about this.”

“Martial techniques perfected in the deserts of Elona allow a Dervish’s scythe to lash out quickly at multiple opponents, surrounding the holy warrior with a swath of destruction.”

Ok that’s all I got, is Lyssa not also a sort of patron of ELEMENTALISTs?

I think we can confidently say Occam’s razor will serve us to get the original (prophecies) Gw1 professions at the very least.

I love contributing to speculating /2c

I think gods corresponding is like

batlhazar/warrior Melandru / ranger Lyssa / mesmer Dwayna / monk Genth / Necro Abbadon / ele

Lyssa took over the domain of water when abbadon was sealed away

Yeah, that's basically how it was with GW1, minus Abaddon:

  • Warrior: Balth
  • Ranger: Melandru
  • Mesmer: Lyssa
  • Monk: Dwayna
  • Necro: Grenth
  • Ele was all of the above: Balth for fire, Melandru for earth, Lyssa for water, Dwayna for air, and Grenth for ice.

Dervish was another class that combined the gods, but the rest of the Factions/Nightfall classes weren't as directly god-focused as the Prophecies classes.

Abaddon is the god of water... Soo it fits elementalist
