The summoner?

Or whatever they'll call it, the supposed necro/ritualist combo guy? 89.172.49.69 02:27, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Seems like it's this soldier profession.-- Shew ♠♠♠ 02:30, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) No, probably. Try this one if you're looking for a necromancer. Erasculio 02:31, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Based on the concept art, and the color image of the mace & shield wielding human female, this has to be the second soldier profession, and, IMHO, she's the one who will concentrate on condition removal, and will probably be the Guild Wars version of the D&D Paladin.--Warzog Watch your six! 06:34, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

I agree. I have a paladin in DDO, and the mace woman picture would fit that image nicely. Eive Windgrace 10:11, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

I play DDO too, and these two images, plus several images in the concept art videos just scream paladin, to me. Only question in my mind is; what will they be called in GW2?--Warzog Watch your six! 13:01, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

I was originally thinking along the lines of Cleric/Templar, but I asked myself "How would they tie that to GW1?" And after a few minutes of thinking I came up with the name Tactician. GW2 Warriors seem to have a damage focus, so something defensive, like a GW1 Warrior that used tactics shouts to buff allies, seemed like it'd fit the second Soldier profession nicely, and would have that remnant of GW1 they're going for. Although I suppose on my userpage I do have Vanguard typed down. But I'm not so sure on that now. Eive Windgrace 13:22, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

I like the sound of the Templar and Vangard, but I wonder... Could they simply call it a Monk? That would tie it into GW1, and with the changes in GW2, and the old 55 Monk build, perhaps they've made the Monk more combat ready?--Warzog Watch your six! 13:36, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Hmm, I suppose they do have the "fighting" monks of the Priory, but I doubt they'd bring the Monk back as a heavily armoured Holy-Avenger of Balthazar. Just doesn't seem likely. And halfway through this message I just decided to look at the Priory page. It calls the monks "fighter-scholars that come from multiple races and fight to protect their "sacred charge" who are called by the same name of the monastery." Interesting how they use the term scholar in there. Anyways, when I think of monks, heavy armor just doesn't fit anywhere in that image. Eive 13:48, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Well, "fighter-scholars" would still qualify as a condition remover, and as a soldier profession, regardless of what they call it.--Warzog Watch your six! 14:12, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

I'd say a summoner, from what I've seen of Pling's sandbox with this guy on the red background, he apepars to be clapping his hands, and to have some sort of robe. --92.3.102.117 10:26, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

If you checkout this, and compare the two, it looks like they have the same helmet, the shield is being held sideways, and the mace is now raised up in the air. Whatever it's called, it's obviously the second warrior class.--Warzog Watch your six! 18:09, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

My guess is that they will call it Paragon. It'll be massively revampled tho. And when most classic rpgs give a Monk profession, it tends to be like the Northern Xaolin monks, who are martial artists, so heavy armor and maces would not fit a monk in the classic sense, doesnt mean they'll do it tho... ANet is all about not being cliche. 99.99.204.188 14:29, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Considering that this image is washed in the GW1's Monk Blue, I can't help but wonder if they'll call it a Monk too.--Warzog Watch your six! 16:45, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Whether they are called Paladins or Healers or Clerics or whatever, I'm pretty sure we'll be able to refer to them as "Warmonkeys." Zolann The Irreverent 16:59, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Don't u guys notic that theres no way this could be ANOTHER warrior because, 1- the images do not match up. Clearly in the left hand theres some kind of staff, not a sheild. 2- in the lower left corner I see a long cloat tail and possable what looks like a hood thats worn by the Order of Whispers somewhat. So I think this may be a a necro with armor somewhat like Grenth has in the concept art for GW1 or part of the Order of Whipsers and a caster most likly. -- 17:18, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure I follow your logic. 1. The images do match up. (2~). I clearly see a shield and a mace, unless somehow in GW2 you can attach a shield to the middle of your staff. If you look here where the image's transparency is more obvious, you can tell that the object you call a staff doesn't continue past the character's hand. 3. Coat tail? The figure is obviously wearing a helmet so I would assume armor with it. And the Order of Whispers isn't profession-specific Eive 23:45, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

I love "Warmonkeys." Perhaps they'll call it by the ever-popular GW1 name, "WAMMO!" (I love my Wammo!)--Warzog Watch your six! 00:42, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

This PC Gamer page has an image where it states, "Paragons are now just poncy, shiny Warriors." I guess that means that the second soldier class is the Paragon.--Warzog Watch your six! 03:15, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

The same article calls Charr, Lava Tigers. Not very credible. --Odal talk 09:23, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

If you look at it, I'm pretty sure that it's person standing facing a bit to the right, with a shield showing from the left, and what everyone says is his/her hands in some kind of incantation is actually a sword, as if some kind of guardian/knight look. their head is also decidedly helmet-shaped Reez 8:39, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Looks to me more like someone in a suit of armor with a decorated helmet and shield (just like the macewoman picture). He/she seems to have his/her leg up in the Captain Morgan pose and it looks to me as if what appears to be a mace in his/her hand is facing handle-up and the weight is resting on his/her leg. He/she is holding it at about eye level, take a look and tell me that's not accurate. Most assuredly the macewoman, the only question is what the name is. The blue used is similar to the GW1 Monk but it looks lighter to me, more silvery. This implies a new or recycled profession to me. (compare this to the blue in this - it just seems like macewoman is lighter. Crenel 15:31, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

On that same note however, note that the macewoman picture has birds (I assume doves) in the background, which are a symbol of many of the Protection Prayer Monk skills in GW1, so that kind of negates my entire argument. Crenel 15:33, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Most people say that this is the Blue Mace Lady, the image of the blue mace lady and the reveal here don't have to be exactly the same. - Giant Nuker 16:02, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

It occurred to me that the person in the image is most likely kneeling, which leads me to believe it's possibly a Norn in the photo. Crenel 16:06, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Altough I agree that the helmet and the thing in front of the head makes me think the Mace Woman, but I dont really see how the thing to the left is a shield. To me it looks more like an open book. Chad 09:28, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

thats gonna be one big book then and Anet doesnt seem the type to make normal objects bigger than usual Victor6267 13:31, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Looks like a shield held by their right arm to me. I also see the mace/sword in their left hand resting on their left shoulder, and the helm sort of looks like a redone Templar design. Their head seems to be looking down and to their left. I can't wait to see what it really is. Silmalel 18:05, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Pistol User

After looking at this Pling/Sandbox for a little bit, I think the Mace every one has been seeing is actually a pistol with a blade or something of the sort on the end of the barrel, also there seems to be an after image of the gun (or mace) which Im not sure exactly what that means, figured Id bring it up as well to discuss. The shield seems a little narrow as well, with something on the side that extends, whether that is just part of the shield style or not, is up for debate, but...... also, there is definitely a cape or some flowy object near this person's feet.--69.179.247.145 08:49, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Naturally, I would immediately call this out, but ever since the necromancer took the silhouette that many people thought was an assassin, I'm not going to disregard this, Anet might as well be pulling such a thing on us... Zungx 20:07, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Soldier Profession

I definitely think this is the remaining soldier profession. You can see the shape of the helm in the image as well as a shield and is holding what could be a spear. Natejh8 23:40, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Spears are not in the game, the weapon in question is most likely a mace, as per concept art on the profession reveal page. Also, don't forget to sign your comments using 4 tildes (~) at the end of your comment. - Infinite - talk 23:37, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Oh right, probably a mace then. Thanks for the signing tip! Natejh8 23:41, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Also try to properly indent your comment using a proper amount of colons (:) to make the flow of a discussion more apparent. :P (I think this will be the last time appointing you and you're set to start commenting frantically. :D)- Infinite - talk 23:46, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

I'm Going with Shaman, Seer, Summoner

http://i433.photobucket.com/albums/qq60/eclipse_143/shaman.jpg

I'm guessing this proffession will be using staves as a melee weapon. If you could imagine, technical artistic fighters that use long staves to fight. I think its a "Bo Staff" in our world. They would use some type of magic, possibly spiritual/nature attuned type and use that to aid them. I'm assuming this will be an adventurer because I'm highly persuaded that there will be a mesmer class to fill in scholars, assassins and shamans to fill adventurers, and a gun-user for the soldier profession.

From looking at that picture and other pictures in this slide show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxIhTZEEWL8&feature=sub

Notice the grey figure at 2:32. and the non-elemental magic comeing out of their hands. 2:51, which could be a weapon spell type of thing or a ghastly weapon. I'm kind of leaning toward a changed ritualist, without the healing and spirits, just the "blue spiritual magic". I will be making a drawing outline of the figure soon, so be sure to revisit this post every now and then. Also if you look at this picture: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/File:GDC_2010_macewoman.png the blue is similar to that which was shown in the video and picture.

Thanks! Make sure to check out my other posts on unrevealed professions, just click on the other silouettes that are in the same group as this one! GW fan forever --Eclipse143 05:52, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

¬_¬ .... --77.251.243.52 06:18, 26 October 2010 (UTC) The Holy Dragons

Or... you know... they could just be the Elementalists. ¬_¬ 68.144.97.124 06:30, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

I was thinking Elementalist for like Norn. 72.148.31.114 07:22, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

http://i433.photobucket.com/albums/qq60/eclipse_143/Shamanproffession.png I think i did a very good job on this one. And I don't think it's an elementalist because of the non-looking-elemental "fire" in their hands. Also, the armor and weapons don't really look like an elementalist's but more of a necromancer. Necromancers don't use blue fire. So there you go, the outlining that I did on microsoft paint. Hope it goes well for you! thanks :). --Eclipse143 23:53, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

That's actually water in his hand. And the armor and weapons say "scholar" instead of solely Necromancer seeing as how all of the scholars/adventurers/soldiers can look exactly the same (to the other professions in their profession category) if they just go through the same dungeon and get the set together. (edit) Seeing as how, at the moment, there is just one set of light, medium, and heavy armor that all look the same for one dungeon. 68.144.97.124 00:23, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Helm seen before?

I was looking through the old (2009) image sets and came across this one. If you look at the bottom left quarter of the image the helmets on two of the characters look very similar to the one on this concept art image. Scandlan 10:35, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Sort of, but it's likely that those are just warriors. This is probably a soldier profession, but there will definitely be differences between the warrior and this one. Also, YAY! MY FIRST POST FOR OVER A MONTH! - Kroff 02:58, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

I say its a hood

Guardian

Seems the most appropriate silhouette when compared to the others.. in my opinion anyway.. 90.200.54.105 15:24, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Agreed. 71.194.87.164 19:02, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Agreed. We'll find out on the 27th. - Lucian Shadowborn 22:40, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
