Guild Wars 2 Discussion

[Zamros]

So I looked around on the forum and I did find a few topics about Guild Wars 2 but none of them went into much detail about the game, so I'm making this one anyway, feel free to say something if I'm wrong.

To be added:

• Race Info
• Personal Story
• Lore
• Hall of Monuments

Professions

Professions are divided into 3 categories based on the armour type that they wear, 2 Heavily Armoured Soldiers, 3 Medium Armoured Adventurers and 3 Lightly Armoured Scholars.

Soldiers

• Guardian

  The Guardian is a magic-themed Soldier Profession that specialises as a Master of Protection. Being based off a mix of the Monk and Paragon from the first game, the Guardian uses Virtues to enhance attacks and defences of themselves and their allies. There are 3 virtues:
  
  • Courage - Provides the Guardian with Aegis
  • Justice - Provides the Guardian with Burning Attacks
  
  and
  
• Resolve - Provides the Guardian with Rejuvenation

• Warrior

  The Warrior is a adrenaline-fuelled Soldier Profession that specialises as a Master of Weapons. Warriors use adrenaline that is built up during combat to power burst skills, which are determined by the Warrior's main-hand weapon. Burst skills have 3 different power levels depending on the amount of adrenaline built up over combat, so a burst skill would be more affective with more adrenaline saved.
  

Adventurers

• Engineer

Scholars

  The Necromancer is another spell-casting Scholar Profession that specialises as a Master of the Dark Arts. Necromancers can draw upon the Life Force of an enemy in order to strengthen their abilities. However, Life Force's main function is to fuel Death Shroud which allows the Necromancer to have access to new skills and removes the risk of Knock-down.

  Races

  The playable races are Tyrian species that players can select from during character creation. A character's race has effect on various features, both aesthetically and gameplay-wise.
  Players can choose between five different races at the initial release of Guild Wars 2: asura, charr, human, norn or sylvari.
  
  
  Asura
  

  Guild Wars 2 Asura's Race Trailer [HD]

  
  The Asura are a race of short (Being about 4 feet tall) subterranean artisans who only recently were forced to the surface due to the emergence of Primordus' Champion The Great Destroyer. Over the past 250 years, the Asura have quickly adapted to surface life and established themselves as one of the most powerful races in Tyria.
  
  The Asura think that Mind is always over Matter, Brain is always over Brawn and as such an Asura's intellect is the most valued of all its attributes.
  They pride themselves in being masters of Magical Engineering, creating immense floating cube-shaped buildings and Golems to protect and serve them.
  It was also the Asura that helped to unite the 5 races, by having linking Asura Gates (Portals) to each major city (Lion's Arch, Rata Sum, The Black Citadel, The Grove and Hoelbrak).
  
  The Asura believe in the Eternal Alchemy, that all beings and magics are part of a much greater purpose (Sometimes referred to as a machine). Some Asura believe that like any other machine, the Eternal Alchemy can be mastered and controlled, and in turn can master Tyria.
  
  
  Charr
  

  Guild Wars 2 : Official Charr Race Trailer [HD]	Small | Large

  
  The Charr are a race of large, feline savages that occupy most of Eastern Tyria. They have donounced all Gods as false after being manipulated by the Charr Flame Legion and the Shaman caste into believing that the Titans (and later the Destroyers) were their Gods. And as such view all life, magic and combat with a cynical eye. The Charr are down to the core a military race, being raised as Warriors for their Warband from birth.
