I have a few, but I reckon my first one is the best.

ACROBAT - With the inclusion of jumping, maybe a character that is adept at movement, jumping and the like. They can be a melee supporter or healer. Dodging attacks to revive someone at the front lines then duck back to provide support. They'd be primarily spell casters so perhaps studded gloves that stun/knock back, although very little damage.

PROS - Quick movement, enhanced Jumping, dodgy and slippery, strong support casting, stunning for escape or priming a target.

CONS - Weak when finally hit, weak physical damage, support character, low health, pron to status changes.

Works across many races too.

More to come, I'll give it thought.

There's no jumping in Guild Wars engine. At best, you can only hope for some sort of skill which involves jumping that gives some bonus to blocking attacks... but then all the guild wars models would have to have this animation of jumping... It could be potentially odd, at best...

You have to be careful with stunning.. that's Dazed, and that's not a condition used often for its potency.

There's no more classes coming for gw 1 anyway, so right now I guess most classes in this forum are for GW2;
And GW2 was promised to have full Z-axis movement
(full is a rather limited therm coming from a developer, it probably means jumping and maybe even climbing, or perhaps flying)

Why is your acrobat a caster? an acrobat would have some illusion magic becasue it makes him a better performer, and some alteration(telekinesis magic) to use as jumping boost and slow the speed of falling.
But other than that I can't imagine much magic coming from an acrobat.
Even without playing the mother of all acrobats, TES games; a drop in attack for more damage seems like a logical connection to make.

Anyway, as a fellow acrobat lover I'd like your comments or critiques on my acrobat class.
