I'd miss my Dervish terribly. You can have my Dervish when you can pry her from my cold dead fingers!

I wish they'd just get rid of the ability to set a secondary profession and make the secondary profession for everyone /Mo. As often as I see freaking warriors cast healing breeze on themselves, there must be something to it.

They'd still be able to keep it interesting, I'm sure. Would it be less balanced? Not sure. They might just go overboard and add a hell of a lot of skills instead.

I'd say that it could be more balanced, though. The classes they have right now are mostly traditional "core" RPG classes (with the exception of the Mesmer. I'd say that with the Assassin.)

The only difference between the game now between if there were only six would be people whining for more new character based content. New Skills/Armor Etc.

The new classes seem to be all buffed up versions of old classes.

Ritualist: Cross between an MM and an Air Ele
Assasin: Basically an Axe Spiking Tank with worse Armor, or a Curses Necro with more effective Spells.

Dervish: Tank with All AoE Axe Attacks and more energy.
Paragon: Cross between a Tactics Warrior and a Healing Monk.

If only one class for your character Memsers would be awesome since the rest of the classes could not RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO out the inspiration line

I like the core professions and if they didn't have them then I probably wouldn't be playing Guild wars. I like playing all the classes, I just like the core ones best.

I don't think anyone would miss anything if it didn't exist personally I could live with out the 4 new profs.They did give us other skills for secoundaries but I think we might of seen more skills for the core.It is not only skill balance it is party balance as to who get in.Sins and Dervs always whine when they don't get into a parties the reason a lot of the hate towards Warriors.It has been said in the forums much like how a Rit can out heal a Monk or be a better MM than a Necomancer.Then there is the Ranger and Paragon debate.

When a skill balance comes most of the new profs cry over it than the core.

[skill]Mending[/skill] is the reason for all of the Warrior hate.

Edit: and the reason new profs cry more over the nerfs is they are more brutal. When a new professions skills get nerfed, they are just screwed. When a core professions skill gets nerfed, they just move to the next best thing. New professions don't have next best things. This isn't because of the new professions themselves, more so ANets hesitation to add more to their skill pool, and buff the horribly underpowered skills that make up 50% of their current skill pool.

Edit2: Continuing the thing about new profs skill pools, what is it with new skills being added to a profession that are made to counter that profession? Smoke Powder Defense, thanks for adding a new assassin skill that is made for secondary assassins to counter assassins. Shield of Force, gee, thanks for making a Dervish skill that secondary Dervishes can use to counter heavy hitting opponents that use things such as, oh I don't know, scythes.

Restore game balance; delete factions characters

Well kinda... Frustration factor went up a bit when Factions came out. I remember not wanting to throw my computer out the window as often as now in pvp

Not that the game was totally balanced then, but it was more balanced.

No problem with with Para's and Dervs.
