The upcoming expansion for MMORPG Guild Wars 2, Visions of Eternity, will be arriving in October of this year! It brings a new way to play every profession, and the devs have shared a new video to preview three of them: Troubadour (Mesmer), Galeshot (Ranger), and Luminary (Guardian).
Troubadours spin dramatic ballads and tales as their words weave magic and music to raise allies’ spirits and demoralize their foes. Their recitals can even be accompanied by illusory instruments for additional effect. Troubadours are mesmers who seek to support their allies in battle through the power of music and the fantastical tales of Tyrian heroics.
As contributing members of the Tyrian Alliance, the tengu now offer tutelage in the Galeshot skills to willing outsiders who express interest in the craft. Galeshots are rangers and the premier archers of Tyria. Using their aptitude for nature magic, they can sculpt and command the wind at will. This power is manifested in the Cyclone Bow, a weapon that is capable of long-range devastation.
With the Flame Legion formally rejoining the legions and the Iron Legion having appointed Smodur’s successor, the two legions sought to commemorate the changing times with a joint project. Thus, the luminary was born. Luminaries are guardians, stalwart combatants on the battlefield capable of putting out respectable damage or supporting their allies. Their brazier provides energy for the Radiant Shroud, in which they are able to wield various weapons of light and flame to adapt to the situation at hand. Luminaries also have access to stance utility skills, gaining additional tools for offense, defense, crowd control, and mobility.
What’s next? The devs will be back next week with more information on the next three elite specializations.
