IMO, there's already enough classes. People are still making new build.

I compare MTG's decks to TEAMS not individual players. So a GVG team of 8 players with 8 skills from 2 different gods each.

gods don't have any influence on choosing skills or attributes, it's little more than fluff

The gods are just categories into how skills behave based on their theme, just like the MTG colors represent different themes or style of magic.

All the warrior skills fall into Balthazar. Some assassin skills fall into Balthazar. Some Dervish skills fall into Balthazar.

In regards to your skills, your attributes and power source are the only thing that effects your ability to use the skill. That's all.

You can't directly compare the Colors of Magic to Guild Wars, because all professions use "colorless" mana, i.e., Energy, Adrenaline or Signets (basically, a spell that uses no power source at all).

I didnt start the comparison of MTG to GW. Anet did. LOL.

Im just justifying adding more profession, as a response Selket's accusation that adding more professions is like adding more colors to MTG.

And that justification that colors cant be compared to professions, they are more closely related to the 5 gods than anything else, imo.

Quote:

The only thing comparible to Colors in Magic is your Attributes, which is what allows you to "play" your "skills" effectively (although, as I mentioned above, nothings going to stop you from taking any spell for any character. It just won't be very effective at level 0, in most cases).

While this is true, im still using the gods a broad category to encompass groups of attributes.

Lyssa's lines include: Illusion, Fast Cast, Domination, Inspiration, Energy Storage, Shadow Arts.

Balthazar's lines include: Strength, Axe mastery, Sword Mastery, Hammer Mastery, Tactics, Dagger Mastery

and so on and so forth.

its not a rock solid arguement, but it certainly holds up better than selket's, which is what im trying to dispute.
