Guild Wars 2 finally starts to come to life

Well, fi you want to fight the big boss-y things, you'll have to do it with others, and you cannot chose whom...

Lead designer Eric Flannum answers some questions here:

You reminded me -

From about last week, and there's not a huge amount of info in it, though. The dungeon stuff is kinda neat though.

Been a bit with nothing...

Reveal is supposed to be next week. I'm guessing that's the Blue Mace Lady/Paragonk.

Ooooh...

Also, having read the new book (yeah yeah I'm a dork, I know) I'm guess that's the profession that Logan Thackery is.

Yeah (ive read them too 😛) i guessed it from the gameplay footage, he puts up spme sort pf divine shield in the elemental boss fight, if you look close, it looks VERY much like the shield Dumblebore uses in his fight vs voldemort at the ministrty , very good fx in-game, i knew he was thi "guardian" class from that about 3 months ago.

Sounds basically like a heavily-armored Smiting/Protection Monk 😛

Yaaaay that's me!

(Reserves)

(no-one else can have)

I was reading it and knew you were going to want that 😛

Yup. There's only one, and it is for me, and none of you can have it.

I just want my Mesmer.

A Mesmer and a Ranger and I'll be happy.

...okay I really want a Dervish but that's not going to happen 🙁

Indeed not, and the vibe is that it is highly unlikely they will want to make new professions in future, only new Races. Still, we'll see.

Hmph I want a Dervish.

...actually what I'd like is for them to release that Dervish update already.

(and this year is the year of the rabbit. I am getting a mini celestial rabbit during Canthan New Year if I have to spend the entire weekend trying for it damnit!)

Mesmer, Ranger, and my totally badass asura... something. With those I shall be happy.

Despite trying hard, that Guardian Asura looks ridiculous, I think...

Asura always look faintly ridiculous.

The whole point of playing Asura is because they look ridiculous. Your beatdown will never be expected that way.

Human Mesmer (if they do in fact exist), Charr Ranger, Asura Elementalist, and Sylvari Necromancer are my current plans. Maybe a Norn Warrior just to fill it out.

So you can keep your buffatank class. 😛

I will still call him a Paragonk, even though the Paragon bits have really gone into the horn offhand option for the Warrior (noting the Guardian has no horn option).

I am unsure if players should be allowed to play Norn that are not Warriors.

Actually, I am not sure how well they tank- certainly Anet want to get away from that.

They have the protection schtick but not the enemy attraction. I think Warriors will have the taunt powers. The best control the Guardians seem to have is some territory denial with those wards.
