And since we're getting early reports of the Dervishes' capabilities, don't you think we're going to see swarms of PvE mobs in Nightfall?

Wah! That's a very good observation. Yay giant mobs!!

At least they're not going to bother trying to continually support every new class.

what makes it sound better is it mentions new arenas on the site

mrcake · Jul 18, 2006, 04:29 PM // 16:29

should be interesting, hope i dont have to delete a character to try out the new classes.. although it would give me a reason to kill my assassin....

come on anet stop teasing and at least release 1 screen shot of a new pve area .. just one......

TheMosesPHD · Jul 18, 2006, 04:35 PM // 16:35

Aha! What I just realized is that a Scythe on the Dervish will probably be the longer type of Scythe like the classic Grim Reaper wields since it says the Dervish has many skills that attack many enemies at once. If that's the case then it will prolly play similar to the spears/glaive type weapon I was hoping for. So though the Paragon has the wrong type of spear for me, the Dervish will be what it's all about. So basically: Yay for me!

Well they should have the ability to create an event account for the PvP weekend like they did last time. You won't get the skills permanently unlocked but if you don't mind that you can try out the new chars without having to lose an old one.

Oh, my, GOSH, i can be part warrior, part assassin, AND PART MONK! this is like a whammos wet dream

but back on topic, i can't wait, thanks for the info, i'm going to get nightfall, well, not unlike i wasn't gonna get it, but this has enticed me even more

Lucifer PVP · Jul 18, 2006, 04:52 PM // 16:52

Is it just me or does both new classes have the same models as a monk and elementalist with different armor.......

Rahl · Jul 18, 2006, 04:55 PM // 16:55

Yep, they do.

/sigh
This means lots of more time trying to get Grandmaster Cartographer and skill capping :/
I dunno. I can't say I'm terribly excited about a class that seems like the embodiment of a Whammo, or a Rit/Earth Ele/Tactics shouts.
And all the new skills dammit

Yeh, they're still in beta it tho so i HOPE they change it.. and give us nice faces unlike those faces they gave for factions, i mean seriously we're supposed to be FIGHTING the afflicted, not being one.. arrgh, all my characters are strictly tyrian born, because i can't stand that and assassin and ritualist weren't enough reason to be canthan born,

[sarcasm]
but on another news new whammo skills for me, but i'll have to replace healing hand with somthing else :'(
[/sarcasm]
:P

Riceboi · Jul 18, 2006, 05:08 PM // 17:08

I like it already! Can't wait for these new classes.

Nevin · Jul 18, 2006, 05:15 PM // 17:15

The hooded Dervish = Pwn. I may have to delete my assassin.. Ahaha.

TheMadKingGeorge · Jul 18, 2006, 05:17 PM // 17:17

AWSOME gonna play them both who needs warriors or assasins any more >_<

Jumping Is Uselss · Jul 18, 2006, 05:21 PM // 17:21

I cant wait for Nightfall. I wonder how the armors will look like?

Xenrath · Jul 18, 2006, 05:22 PM // 17:22

Hmm. "Commander" class. Tsk, it should have been a proper "bard" class. Mark my words - increase in idiocy and abuse in public PvE/PvP incoming. As if there aren't enough egotistical people blaming everyone else for when things go wrong already...

unholy guardian · Jul 18, 2006, 05:25 PM // 17:25

yeah... if i like dervish a lot more than my sin i think i'll get rid of him.. no wait i'll get rid of my warrior.

Yeah you can kinda pinpoint on those, like aeromancer gloves i think on the paragon male.

Heck the dervish female looks like a rit :P

Eh no biggy, i just hope they don't change change the male dervish character look much, dying that armor be so awesome, can you imagine that in black or something... awesome

Jetdoc · Jul 18, 2006, 05:25 PM // 17:25

Interesting. Sounds like the Dervish will be inferior to the assassin in single opponent damage, but will be superior in damaging groups of folks. Probably will be much better suited to PvE than in PvP, from an initial glance, but who knows when the skills actually come out.

I can see the Paragon being nicely paired with a Monk or Ritualist primary/secondary. Monk/Paragon for pure support, and a Paragon/Ritualist to create your own army to attack from a distance with.

Although this is a bit stereotyped, I think Guild Wars will have a nice mix with these additions:

Melee-based: Warrior, Assassin, Dervish
Missle-based: Ranger, Elementalist, Necromancer
Support-based: Monk, Ritualist, Paragon, Mesmer

Not a bad frontline, midline, and backline, IMO.
