I thought this might be a Necromancer at first but now I'm kind of thinking it might just be a Mesmer or at least one of the Scholars although it almost seems that it might be someone holding a pistol. --Spigs 03:12, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

I definitely see something bladed, could be a pistol with blades on it though. I don't really see Mesmer in this image, so I'm going with Necro or something else. Eive Windgrace 03:34, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Seems to me like a scholar profession, and maybe a sylvari at that. -- 93 | T | C | 06:32, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

IMHO, the cape looks quite a bit like the one worn in the dagger battle stance image, which would make it an assassin or a rogue-like character. They said that one profession could use guns but not bows, the assassin would fit that role nicely.--Warzog Watch your six! 06:38, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
I noticed a cape wielding Asura in one of the concept art videos that appeared to be a Necromancer. Whether it's an Assassin, or a Necromancer, I believe this is an Asura character.--Warzog Watch your six! 16:40, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

I think guns will be used by Rangers and Wars, maybe by Sins too. I agree with you, judging by the cape this is probably an Assassin figure judging by this picture. --81.157.186.26 16:46, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

While perusing the concept art, I found this page. I cropped the Asura out to display here:

File:Gw2-artbook-06-Asura.jpg

Looking at the left side of each image the cape/armor appears to be the same. I believe it confirms this is an Asura. As to the profession, I'm unsure.--Warzog Watch your six! 13:19, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Still positive its's a necromancer. Eive 13:49, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

The dagger in it's left hand makes me lean towards assassin, but the color full figure version of the asura in the GDC 2010 concept art video did appear to be a necromancer.--Warzog Watch your six! 16:11, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

It seems to me that it looks like its a Necromancer using an animation spell, as if hes up in the air being backwards. Themastermoo 16:20, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Although I'm not entirely sure I see a dagger... If there was one, remember, the only other scholar we have to compare this to is the elementalist, who can use daggers in both hands Warzog. Eive 00:28, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Quite true! However, the elementalist isn't shown carrying daggers, just as the warrior isn't shown carrying a bow. All of which makes me think that a character with a bow would probably be a ranger, and one carrying daggers would probably be an assassin. Naturally, I could be way off base, but that's how I see it.--Warzog Watch your six! 01:06, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Makes sense to me for a Necro to carry Daggers though. Think sacrifice. --Spigs 04:42, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Well now that it is NOT a necro...what says everyone? Zungx 20:12, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Assassin (rogue). Reaper of Scythes** 21:15, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

(Reset indent) It is definitely the assassin. Aquadrizzt (talk)(contribs) 21:16, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Given that the profession reveal seems to be revealing silhouettes from the middle out (http://wiki.gtm.guildwars2.com/wiki/File:Professions_reveal_7.jpg), and that this is currently the closest non revealed prof to the middle, I would say that this one is next. And given that they just revealed the necromancer, either a soldier or adventurer profession would be next. Furthermore, since the second "soldier profession" is suspected to be new, and they seem to be revealing gw1 professions first, my guess is that's an adventurer, which points toward the assassin-ish possibly renamed class. Reez 14:03, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

I think it looks like a Dervish, but there is no scythes :(... Either Sin or Monk/Pragon/Paladin mix ;) Baby Charr Goes Rawrr 14:57, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

I myself agree with Reez's thinking, they are going from inside out, and this is most likely the next to be revealed.

As well, it is most unlikely they would release the last scholar right after the necromancer. The physique of the silhouette as well indicates either scholar or adventurer, and since the assassin is the most speculated, I strongly feel this is going to be the Assassin.

But of course, I thought the necro silhouette was the assassin, so don't take my word completely. Zungx 20:07, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

I think Assassin like, what I 'see' is a hooded person looking over the right shoulder, with on the right shoulder something that reminds me of Assassin Elite Imperial/Asuran armor and in the right hand either a sword or a dagger helt with the blade pointing backwards. Anyone agrees? Malice 14:53, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

I can agree to that, I cant really find anything that goes against that assumption unless I were to look reeeeeal close (which I have no intent to do). Zungx 19:56, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Even with my last comment, if they renamed sin, they may reveal mesmer first, and this might be what this is. keep in mind that you can't have a patern if it hasn't repeated itself yet, and the reveal has made no scholar/adventurer/soldier repeats yet. they could reveal two scholars in a row. So with this, I guess it's either remade sin, or mesmer. especially if they renamed sin, because they're definitely revealing core professions first.~ Reez 17:27, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

I don't think there will be a mesmer in the game, ANet has said that we shouldn't assume that if something's in the book it'll be in the game. I doubt they'll miss the chance to add a new caster to keep it interesting. Also it seems reasonable that they'll add an adventurer first, before revealing all scholars. And last: I think the one to the right looks more like a scholar class. Malice 15:19, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Mesmers are one of the few classes that make GW unique to other games, I don't think they'll lose it, but perhaps change playstyle. besides, intereupts becomes massively effective now that many spells have over 1 sec casting time. the only reason that they might not be used is because of there not being hexes any more, but it has been stated that each profession can have unique skill types, so it may simply now be restricted to mesmer rather than having them an all casters Reez 02:37, 1 October 2010

It's totally a knight

Armor is not profession specific, but some armor is based on a certain profession, it just has a necromancer feel to me. - Giant Nuker 11:18, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

armor looks different depending where you got it, the same article you got the pic from said there are unique set for different dungeons like the one shown. also, lol, chess piece. I am now rooting for chess knight class- Reez 02:33, 1 October 2010

Anyone else think it might be a pirate/seafaring type dude?

Take a look at the top of the character. To me it looks like one of those 3 pointed "pirate hats". Plus there is this picture here. Although you could argue that this is more of a "Robin-hood" type of hat and/or hero. My bet's still on a pirate though, it would sure fit with the flintlock-ish pistols, and wielding a sword and a gun at the same time would be cool. (Hope this doesn't turn into pirates vs ninjas though, I know alot of people think this is the assassin as well :P ) MartyO 05:40, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Where exactly would pirates/seafarers play into a game primarily played on land? Also, if the armor shown in the picture you linked is "pirate" armor, then it's armor for any adventurer. --Kyoshi (Talk) 06:01, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

I don't think that it matters much that the game is "mostly played on land". The game isn't primarily played in the mountains, but of course we have the Norn. There are also (a few) islands you can go to, (I imagine by ship, though I doubt you can own one yourself) as well as the firearms, most of which look like flintlock weaponry. But I haven't personally seen any sort of cutlass type weapon yet, to be fair. There is also plenty of art showing ships, both sunken and sailing. The ocean looks like a very important part of the game to me, since one of the main antagonists comes from it. We already know that armors can be oriented around specific professions, so I'm not sure what you're trying to say about the armor I linked. I'm not sure about the cape however, could be a long jacket? But hey, I'm still sticking with my guess.--MartyO 06:50:11 (UTC)

To be honest, the pic looks like Jack Sparrow's clothes, but also like european peasant or middle-class in the late 18th century, and the hat too (see Jacquou le Croquant). IMO, and with all pics they have already shown, I think it's defitively the look they want for humans. Also note that flinlock pistols and rifles are not only piratish : nearly all fighters at the end of 18th century used them. In fact, they actually look like pirates, but pirates looked like regular people. This was for the look. For the gameplay, I think that a "pirate" class is definitely too wide. Prates were gunners, swordsmen, they were barbarians like norses or ottomans. I am also sceptical with professions linked with "jobs" like pirate. Pirates were not the only gunners at the time. And to finish, do you really want a "pirate" class ? In fact, a single class is definitively too narrow for pirates. You want a pirate with a pet ? Do a ranger and dress him like a pirate. You want a turkish-like corsair ? Do a warrior. You want a Jack Sparrow ? Do a "rogue", or whatever it is called. You see, there's really no need for such a profession --Qral 11:41, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

I agree with what you said, but what I was writing was really more about the guess of it being a seafarer kinda guy. (In fact I would prefer to be wrong, because then ANet can take me by surprise!) MartyO 16:33:50 (UTC)

I'm also nearly sure there will be some seafarer guys in GW2, because LA is mostly a pirate city. But I also think there won't be any seafarer or pirate profession. Pirate-style armor can be great anyway. --Qral 17:38, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

"The game isn't primarily played in the mountains, but of course we have the Norn." The norn originate in the mountains but will adventure elsewhere, whereas a pirate does his/her work on the sea. Plus we have no evidence of usable boats. --Kyoshi (Talk) 18:27, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Hmmm, I see what you mean now. Also, aren't there "Asuran warp gates" or something? Now that I think about it, it would make sea travel on a boat unlikely, if not less common. (even if it's a payable service)--MartyO 21:26:24 (UTC)

Lore-wise, boat travel is impossible due to Zhaitan's fleet. And the DSD. --Qral 13:45, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Not everywhere, apparently. But most useful water travel is cut off, even if there were player-usable boats. (And I'm not saying there aren't boats, just that they wouldn't be as prominent as suggested with a "seafaring" class, which would be so niche as to alienate them from feasible use on the land and/or alienate every land-lubber profession from the sea.) --Kyoshi (Talk) 21:18, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

This seems like one of the more unlikely profession ideas I've heard. Eive 02:17, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Actually, the most unlikely idea I have ever seen is that the third adventurer is going to be a cowboy-like profession, down to wearing cowboy hats. Erasculio 02:28, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Trumps anything I've heard/seen. --Kyoshi (Talk) 03:42, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

My Very rough outlinement of what i think can be the assassin prosition. I know this isnt as convincing as my other outlining (See: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/File_talk:Professions_reveal_detail_1.png Scroll All the way to the Bottom ) but, I tried! :)--Eclipse143 01:20, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

VERY believable if I have any say, although im doubting they would put an asura behind another asura, most likely a sylvari, but from ur drawings, it actually seems like it COULD...as for the dagger/assassins part, I wont argue with you their, u make a forceful argument in ur pictures. Zungx 18:33, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Maybe it's not an asura's head, but a hood or, as someone suggested earlier, a pirate hat. XD Still, nice job on the sketch. – NuclearDuckie 07:59, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Just looking at the height of the "assassin", I'm kind of leaning towards either somehow it's a crouching female Charr (to alleviate the idea of fairness for racial reveals), or (much more likely) a Sylvari "assassin". If you consider that this concept art appears relatively to scale, and in GoA the Sylvari were "taller than the diminuative Asuras but not quite as tall as a Human", and measure out the length of each joint for the crouching Sylvari ranger, and then piece them together straight up, it comes up about to the height of the "assassin" shadow (again, taller than the Asura necromancer but shorter than the Human elementalist). ~feels so smart~ Any takers on this idea? 68.144.97.124 23:34, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

I think you've grossly misinterpreted it. It's concept art, those "toes" are probably just the typical smudges that Dociu(spelling) guy puts everywhere.--99.225.28.182 04:19, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Since fucking when was a duck a playable race. --Neil • 22:22, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

I think i got this pretty close... Except for the asuran body parts and the way the lower blade is positioned. :D *glad* http://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/professions/thief/ I think the picture on the top is most likely to be on the professions reveal banner" --Eclipse143 14:49, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
