Dragonhunter
From Guild Wars 2 Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search
“As dragons continue stirring in the land of Tyria, guardians have been honing their light into a physical nature, sharp and deadly enough to pierce scales. The dragonhunter specialization will look to viciously purge the lands of dragons and their ilk, with longbow and traps now at hand. As their prowess with light has increased, they are able to physically manifest their virtues into the world.
— Dragonhunter release notes
Dragonhunter is an elite specialization for the guardian that focuses on trap skills and grants upgraded versions of virtues. It also allows the guardian to use a longbow.

Trivia[edit]
- The Dragonhunter name was inspired by medieval witch hunters. Guardians consider themselves protectors of the innocent, and the dragonhunter faction believes justice is the eradication of dragons and their minions.[1]
- Until the Dragonhunter specialization began, Guardians were unable to use longbows, but curiously, they already had the longbow as a spirit weapon skill.
Spoiler alert: The hidden text contains spoilers relating to Heart of Thorns.
