ArenaNet talk:Guild Wars 2 suggestions/make paladin, deathknight and dragonrider professions

I would rather see something more... original... than this. (Terra Xin 10:26, 17 June 2008 (UTC))

This is obviously from ideas of other MMOGs. Also, Dervishes are holy warriors.--Catforsale344 23:19, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * agreed, terrible suggestions...gw claimed it wanted to be different not the same as other mmorpgs--Lancy1214 20:57, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * BUTZ DOOD! UZ CANZ RIED DRAGOONS!--The Gates Assassin 06:28, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Although my brother like Paladins and I like Deathknights (aka Dark Knights from Final Fantasy) I don't think it would be a good addition to the Guild Wars universe. A paladin is a support tank, and is useless in PvP. So you would be limited to PvE with that profession and no one wants to be limited to one or the other. The deathknight would also be a problem, seeing as WoW is coming out with one in the next installment and would also be nothing more then a warrior with blood magic. Now the dragonrider would also be a problem because I believe riding any type of mount should not be restricted to one profession.Yozuk
 * That is a big problem in Guild Wars. PVP is the most important aspect, which gets a lot of people mad because they enjoy only PVE. I think focusing too much on the PVP aspect can harm the fun aspects of PVE.
 * Same other way around: a profession must be useful for both PvP and PvE, as Yozuk said. Also agree that paladin is just a W/Mo (and parts of derv match it too) and deathknight a W/N; the energy problem can currently be solved with runes and insignias. Agreed on the dragonrider problem, otherwise mounts get either useless or everyone takes it as secondary.--Tenshi Samshel 14:11, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Well I am one of those people who like PvE over PvP. But i can't discriminant against one over the other because I have friends who like PvP over PvE. And although the paladins, deathnights, and dragonriders work in other RPG's and MMO's its not the same for GW. GW has more options for each profession then most games have. A normal Profession in other games only have from 20 to 50 skills each with no cross classing. GW has from 85 to 144 skills per profession with cross classing. Now i know most of you know this but it should be noted. It may or may not be different in GW2. But I hope they don't brake the professions down that far.Yozuk
 * PLEASE tell me this idiot is joking. Anything made by Artix (Adventure Quest, DragonFable, etc) is stupid, gimmicky, and a retarded WoW ripoff with graphics and sound effect quality that may have been top-notch 10 years ago. Artix FAILS!
 * Erm, if you would have named it something other than anything obvious then i may have read the suggestion, sorry, --Lt Death 20:32, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Beautiful idea
Dragonrider will be the best profession ever

 * Crazy, just deranged craziness. We all kind of know that dragonfable is dragonfable, not GW. Want those professions? go here: =P

Cons
If there's already one thing that mentions World of Warcraft, I think that we're all set on the "THIS ISN'T WoW!!"s. :D  az al ea chat 18:17, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

None
of those are even professions, just cool-sounding names, how the hell do u think a dragonrider would work in pvp? -- Venomoth  16:46, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree; this isn't very well thought-out.  az al ea chat 00:33, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Suggestions
are intended to make the game better, mirite? Vili 13:57, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, but "better" is a concept that can be argued by many.  az al ea chat 19:19, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Overall, this idea got owned...nice try anyway.
