Paragons better be within the "Human" professions, or .... Or else. --Z3R0 09:48, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

lol.. Or else what? ^Teo^ 12:33, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Who would want to be human when you can be a charr? :P Lord Belar 18:33, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

i think you mean; when you can be a sylvari.. otherwise! :p ^Teo^ 00:09, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

You mean when you can be an Asura. Calor (t) 02:52, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Charr ranger, norn warrior, asura caster, sylvari as caster/ranger. Or something along those lines. No humans. :P Lord Belar 03:12, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

sounds fair enough :p ^Teo^ 10:27, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm betting the professions will be new, with some of the old bits. Paragon is definitely going to be with Norn, there's lots of Norn in EotN with P20 beside their name. Warrior too. Charr will likely be like the orcs from Warcraft. Shamanistic, but also strong and mobile. Sylvari will likely be nature-related magics. Spirits, plant growth, etc. And Asura, of course, will be casters. Humans will have Assassin and Ranger, likely some warrior bits too. As for ritualist...Sylvari will likely get something similar, but i'm not sure.

But then again, maybe each race will "follow" one of the gods. Charr to Balthazar. Syvlari, Melandru. Humans, Dwayna. Asura, Lyssa. Norn Grenth(Because of the cold? Other than that, idk).--Darksyde Never Again 03:44, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

I suspect all the races will have access to all professions, else we may see 2 Charr and 2 million Sylvari, or vice-versa. And a lot of anons shouting at Izzy. But each race likely will have some inherent benefit. Calor (t) 03:53, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

I doubt it Darksyde. I don't think the other races will start believing in the human gods in GW2. Norn have their own gods, Charr don't have any gods, as for Asura and Sylvari, we don't know. Perhaps Sylvari pray to the Avatar of Ventari. lol. Kai Nui 20:06, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

I suspect there will be a lot of anons shouting at Izzy no matter what. Lord Belar 21:58, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Damn straight. -- Armond Warblade 08:15, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Remember, though, the Charr "have no gods." By the way, Sylvari FTW! And the humans follow them all...depending on their professions (they could change this...but I have my doubts).Shew 16:33, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

I think Asura will have golem skills and summoning skills. Lord Obsidian

Hmmm, well, I think that each race will have access to all profesions, but chances are that there'll be 'prestige' classes for secondaries if you advance through the game enough. As for racial abilities, I'd guess that each race would have some, but have a ECL (Effective-Character-Level) system, similar to the one in Neverwinter Nights 2. Humans would probably have maybe a extra few atribute points and/or a free skill point at the beggining of the game, but no other strengths or weaknesses. The norn, well, saying the bear thing is their only boost, plus maybe a bit of extra attack damage or such, may have a ECL of +1 (meaning they have to each enough XP for level 3 to reach level 2, +2 would have to go to 4 to get level 2 etc., but still ending with all levels achived, so its sort of a 'do you have enough patiance to wait for level-ups in exchange for better abilities?), the Charr, well, assuming they haven't earned some powerful racial ability, may only get a slight speed increse and slight attack rate boost, but low enough it doesn't even register a ECL.

I'm just guessing here, but it may be used to keep the races even. Luke Danger 17:20, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Imo, that would suck. I think Race is just appearance, and perhaps a specific profession. No advantages and disadvantages imo. Cause in the end, it would screw you over if you wanted to do something crazy, since it wouldn't work cause of your race (so to say). A Nec/War shouldn't be a worse Nec/War for the Norn than for the Sylvari (examples), imo.... --- -- (s)talkpage 17:30, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Erm, that's not what I meant. I meant that each race will have acess to each profesion and be equally proficiant in using it, however, the ones with more powerful abilities would have to scrape hard to get it real powerful. Humans would, like in most RPG games, be the middle-ground, equal for anything in the game, with a small boost that works for anything. Luke Danger 02:14, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

I think they are going to keep it mostly like GW1 now with the skill system...they are trying to keep everything as simple as possible and dont want things to get confusing...if they did the race boost thing like he was saying that would get to complicated and alot of the races and professions wouldn't be able to do certain things--FrekyElf

First of all, FrekyElf, please use ":" when replying to someone's comment. Otherwise it's unnecessary (if you're starting a new topic within the main topic). Second of all, Norn will be better Warriors, most likely, because of their bear form.-- Shew 18:26, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Human control of tyria has slipped away in the past 250 years"

Should this maybe be clarified to say 'control of the continent of Tyria", since the information on Cantha suggests that humans are doing just fine there, and in Elona it seems as if humans are still the main race aside from Joko's armies (though if these areas are in expansions Anet may add extra problems aside from those already mentioned.) Either way, there isn't much information to say that humans are slipping away over the entire world.Tambora 23:38, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
