The new profession, in my mind, is going to be something like an engineer or alchemist to fill out the adventurer splat of professions. It’s going to be the new world profession that could not have really existed in Guild Wars. Asuran technology and charr engineering will give this class turrets, grenades, golems, and all sorts of fun battlefield-changing devices. Sadly, I think this class will replace my beloved ritualists. Honored ancestral spirit turrets will now give way to technology created by the soulless races. I have very few facts to back up any of this. Sure, I could point to Clagg in Ghosts of Ascalon, and the need to have a turret class. But, I don’t want to believe that this will be the final class because, once again, Warhammer Online has this exact class. Izzy has been playing Warhammer Online so I hope he at least is finding ways to better/differentiate if ArenaNet is taking this route.
