ArenaNet:Guild Wars 2 suggestions/Sub classes within a class

Idea (Discussion)

The whole idea of 2 professions is great, but whatt about learning sub-classes? For instance, if you're a Warrior, there could be a quest that lets you become a Berserker, which will allow you to deal more damage but have a lower armor level. Also, these classes could have their own separate skills that you have to learn or buy. Another example is for the "mage" class. There could be a Battle Mage where you could wear heavier armor and have better use of melee weapons, such as a sword. You could also combine your skills (like Immmolate with a sword attack like Barbarous Slice, which would cause burning and bleeding). Every profession could have a couple of these sub-classes.


 * Why this is a good idea
 * More skill combining adds uniqueness to your character.
 * It would allow for more strategies in groups.


 * Why it may not work out
 * It would probably eliminate the "secondary profession" system.
 * Would complicate the profession system too much.
 * Would make certain skill not even open to people unless they choose it as their primary profession, which would be restrictive
 * I thought that's what Attributes were.
 * Yea, Aion got that covered
