So wait a minute...assassins are not going to get any new content in the future? - Page 2 - Guild Wars Forums

It does say in the factions manual (not much to go on i know but for the sake of argument...) it does say that the assassin and ritualist profesions are exclusive to Cantha. However i agree, wait for more info about CH3 and save the headaches for later

i agree with fiery, until galie or another person of equal knowledge from Anet says something about it you can't believe any person that just states their opinion or a rumer that they heard.

for starting a character yes.

aside from that i just ran my ritualist from LA back all the way to Ascalon dancing in each place as i opened them.

even got a low level rit item or 2 along the way

since merged accounts share content availability it would be hard not to drop cantha stuff in chapter 1

If I had to take a guess, (read: GUESS) I would say that it would be linear ... aka, Core classes have stuff (skills, armor, etc) available in every expansion since they were the original classes, then factions-originating classes have stuff from factions -> onward, chapter 3 toons will have stuff starting in chapter 3 -> onward ...

The only exception I can think of is Fissure armor for all classes being in CH1, but then again it's a realm of the gods so It should be accessible from all expansions ... er, sorry, not expansions. "Stand-alone" expansions

I have seen no proof either way, so if you really want to convince everyone, get the proof, if you cant find it, it doesnt exist.

I for one doubt theyd drop the new profs like a bad habit, as it will reduce their use in PVP immediately, let alone would everyone lose all interest in the "older" expansion characters.

Also, I got a sin rune and a set of daggers tyria. Might be a glitch, but Ive heard of others getting them as well.

Well wait till Gaile answers.

actually it is covered nicely already.

from GW FAQ

If you purchase new chapters, you will gain access to new regions of the world, new skills and abilities, new items, new professions, and much more.

they will have something for each character you carry over.

I think what has happened has been a misinterpretation of a press release. Yes, the Ritualists and Assassins are exclusive to Cantha "in relation to the Prophecies" , which is what I read it as. At the time of the press release they were delineating between the two campaigns. I'm not spouting this as gospel, but it makes the most sense to me.
