As means to have an answer when the classes are shown to be able to use diferent armor weights. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean necro siluete is clearly a medium armor set, it did not confused us because of the colors and race so clearly necro. 4 minutes ago, Jumpel.3972 said: Yeah but think of new players EoD is an 80 level expansion not an starter area.

Diswan.8156 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I am 95% sure it's guardian, not only the heavy armor fits perfectly as they showed in other posts. You can see a blue outline all over the silouette, which is surely the left over from the cropping they did to the original image so they could present it like this. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heinel.6548 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Huh, so I called it afterall. They went with the aesthetically least interesting option. Let's hope it is at least true dual wielding through virtue stances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humans and norn can be hard to tell apart without references, but if you go to the profession page, the guardian representative is clearly shorter than warrior and mesmer (which ARE norn, although you wouldn't be able to tell from most of the mesmer artworks when it's just the mesmer on her own). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trejgon.9367 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 12 hours ago, Nephalem.8921 said: Ye because dh is a very immobile build thats slow and has no gap closers.... Oh wait no it ports all over the place and has high burst. I dunno if its power it will just replace dh and play probably very similar. But i expect a pvp focused boon strip thing and counter attacker like spellbreaker that doesnt really work in pve. the issue with current guardian mobility, is that aside from two leaps (GS and DH resolve) all other mobility options needs to be "anchored" on something. In case of symbeol of blades, or judgement intervention, it has to have eligible target locked to move you anywhere, and mercifull intervention requires an ally to be within targeted area if it is to move guardian. So what even dragonhunter lacks is independent mobility, that would allow for ability to properly disengage anyone - sorry, but two relatively short leaps are not exactly something I would call "viable disengage". Ain't even gonna suffice to disengage from melee against any other melee class, as pretty much every melle build has enought gap closers to catch up with those two. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeolus.3615 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) this is thief or guardian. for the colors probably a thief (Anet revealing the light classes first)..... but suspect that guard will receive offhand sword... soulbest and spellbreaker both receive daggers on pof, so there no rule of 1 weapons only per expact.

Kodama.6453 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 1 hour ago, Acyk.9671 said: the opposite actually, weapons are always given to a pair of e-specs. But Sword was already given to weaver and holo as main hand, so i'm having a hard time considering 2 new e-specs will also get off hand sword. Don't forget thief could also get longbow, GS, axe, torch. Maces and hammer are highly unlikely. Always is not correct either. There have been elite spec weapons which just got handed to one elite spec so far: Longbow (only Dragonhunter) Shortbow (only Renegade) Hammer (only Scrapper) Rifle (only Deadeye) Warhorn (only Tempest) Greatsword (only Reaper) Doubling of elite spec weapons is really common (we have 9 classes and just 16 different weapons, avoiding to have elite specs using the same weapons is impossible anyway), but there are still quite some which just got handed to one single e-spec. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Touchme.1097 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I am almost sure it's a Guardian. The blue glow on its eyes can confirm it. It's probably going to be an Elite spec with high mobility and evasion, a welcome addition to the Guardian arsenal 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im actually repeating the pve mission cause i always felt the guardian charr sword/sword had to much detail on its skills, felt really a stable concept for a elite spec.. way to much. Atm doing visions of the past steel and fire. Edited August 5, 2021 by Aeolus.3615 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draxynnic.3719 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 The helmet is actually the weak point of the analysis, since the visor appears to be missing - what's more significant is that all of the pieces apart from the shoulders appear to match heavy Warlord's.

RabbitUp.8294 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 It simply can't be thief. It's definitely guardian, or a tiny chance these are supposed to be daggers and it's dual-dagger Rev. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
