Shadowmancer
|
Note: This profession does not exist. It was specifically created by the Guild Wars 2 Wiki community for April Fools' Day 2011. |
“You can't hit what you can't see.
The shadowmancer is a spell casting, scholar profession which is able to effectively prevent damage to itself by becoming invisible and invincible while at the same time dealing out considerable damage.

[edit] Abilities
Shadowmancers possess Shadow Form, an ability unique to their profession which causes spells cast upon them to fail, and reduces all physical damage by 20% plus an additional 20% for every three levels. Therefore, by level 13, the shadowmancer is effectively immune to damage. This ability comes with a price however. Because this ability makes most of PvE rather easy, a shadowmancer only receives a small portion of experience from all sources.
[edit] Skills
See list of shadowmancer skills.
