One: I've been acknowledged by Gaile, I can die happy now.

two: for those wondering about the use of multiple heroes and their use I have one thought, anybody want to solo UW or FOW with a 4 ranger trap team?

three: Gender options would be cool. I like the idea of my female toons being able to go run around with an all girls team and sometimes the guys would like to have the whole "he-man women hater" club going too.

four: I keep focusing on old prophecies characters for this just because it's the closest continental landmass to the expansion. there are a couple of NPCs we don't see from presear in post that are assumed dead but not mentioned. Any of those could turn up.

five: I just had another idea for the Ritualist, what about the young boy that is outside post sear ascalon in the ghost quest the Avatar of Dwayna grants when you have favor? He'd make a perfect Rit.

Gwen was a monk in pre. Maybe shes a mesmer now but I dont know.
As far as more heros, I am, ok with it but i dont use half of the ones i already have. I hope we get verata as a hero. then i can dump master.

I just saw the picture that everybody thinks is Gwen and I have to say - I think she has monk armor on. The skirt-and-pants combo is very monk-ish, the soft draping of the fabric, the tunic-like shirt with a camisole underneath....all very monk-like.

Mesmer armor is always very structured, very tailored, very polished. Even in Elona, where a lot of the diff. classes get kind of loose/casual armor, the mesmers are running around in formal attire.

We know that NPCs get special armor, and we know that Gwen liked mesmer armor but had healing spells...my guess is that she has a slightly tricked-up version of whatever the new monk armor is going to be.

(I have a sneaking suspicion that most of the people who thought her armor looked mesmerish were guys who looked at the picture, thought "Uh...green. Mesmer!" and congratulated themselves on their sartorial insight.)

Regarding the "50 pve only skills" and heroes, I have a sneaky suspicion that possibly some of those skills might be for a hero with an exclusive profession.

I think this because of the girl, the norn from the bear artwork, that anet is using to promote GWEN. When I first heard of 50 pve only skills I thought how many pve only skills can they make? I mean they could do 50 skills that would change how classes work in pve but not include them in pvp so as not to mess up the pvp dynamics, but after more thought doing something like this kind of goes against the whole pve connected to pvp vibe they like to push.

So the idea of a hero that maybe previews a new profession for GW2 by giving them so many pve only skills would not only be cool, but make sense.

Wrong, i think it was Alex that said that its 50 all together,5 for each profession,so no special hero.

Here's Gwen as a Mesmer:
enemy casts meteor shower, enemy cast phoenix, enemy cast fireball....you almost die, enemy casts fire attunement which gwen somehow interrupts in the blink of an eye....

some assumptions were taken based on Gwen's pre sear AI...

As long as she goes "My name is Gwen and i don't like yooou!" wile fighting it will be worth the wait.

Buff up some hero commands, add additional ones

call them Precautions under the H under heros name

3 slots which increase with levle to a maximum of 6

think of it like FF Xii's gambit system

so that you can say

interrupt ele> Firemagic/damage spells/Aoe

interrupt> enchants

attack > monks

and put like in order of need so they always consider one command more important then other like healing.

oh and the gwen thing

give her a monster skill called LoL

it pauses the game you see a scene where gwen does like a bunch of attacks and it does nothing to the enemy

For the life of me I can't stop thinking of the yoda vs dooku fight now, crazy bouncing midgets with deadly weapons abound!

Or maybe just max from sam and max, gnawing on the enemy's shin bones.

Giving Zhed his saddlebags scenario = Funniest thing on earth!

As far as Gwen goes, well there is so much space around her that it would be entirely possible to make her into anything in the upcoming expansion. Personally, though, I do hope she is evil! It would make the game so much more interesting to have a twist like that.
