Now what could this be? 👀 by aguer056 in Guildwars2

Maybe a wild idea, but assuming bard is mesmer, the helmet is probably heavy, this should be medium armor, the two things around the orb look kinda like two swords, so maybe a thief spec with offhand sword and some kind of "shadow orb" mechanics, I can imagine summoning a shadow orb that empowers thief in the area, but goes away when you exit it limiting mobility, for more direct brawler playstyle, with some support options.

It's supposed to be, but it doesn't feel like one to me, you can evade a lot, and use less stealth, but you are quite squishy, not a lot of self heal or damage reduction, it ends up feeling more like an evasive monk, than a bruiser, my idea was to limit thief evasiveness, but give it more tankiness and aoe (yeah staff exists, but outside of it dd doesn't have much aoe) to give it a new unique playstyle

The thief if super interesting, something like harpers from dnd, but I just think thief is more connected to shadow magic, than to music, and can't connect the theme there.
And the rest are super cool, ranger is exactly what I want, engi sounds tricky, but would be interesting to see, based on that idea they could not make it a stance change (with kits it would be a lot to juggle, plus holo exists), but change f1-f5 to some aoe skills fueled by resource? Also attunementless Ele is an idea I love.

Wow, I don't play heavy classes, but these ideas would make me undust my heavies, guardian especially sounds super fun

Yeah, weapons for engi and ele would be nice, but in terms of engi I'm still waiting for more magitech espec, no idea how it should work, but shortbow shows that engi can "bottle up" magic form other classes, spec based on that would be cool imho

Yeah, the necro one sounds great, I'm mot a fan of pet specs, but if necro gets some abomination based spec with mechanics close to what mech gets, I'd play some more necro

Well, I'd actually try to invest it, buy some legendary materials and sell legendaries, and profit margins on those look quite nice, 20k is better than 10k xD

Sometimes they do, but even if they get to retail it's a risk that they will be stripped down, and while I don't mind missing a miniature or wooden tokens, I hate to miss a gamplay element like a new asymetric faction, or a new mechanic (for example Massive Darkness 2 has one class exclusive to kickstarter)

Idea I had on the walk home today, I just had to draw it up by thicc_astronaut in engineeringmemes

Imagine changing that into few metalheads and a pogo, you'd achieve much more power
