We shouldn't judge an NPC's class by their animation. You ever notice Danika the monk of kurzick is using elementist's animation? But she's a monk! So animation doesn't proof anything. Shiro is necro primary.

continuing the fight of shiro's profession...
couldnt he be a A/W?
in the cinematic you see him absorb some form of energy
but the assasins primary is "Crtitical Strikes"
and whenever you hit a critical strike you gain energy, so that could have been energy.
Or im completely wrong, because of assasin getting a good hit makes them feel better

so then it could be a N/A/W, A/N/W....it just keeps going

Did you ever stop and think maybe he doesnt have a class like us? I mean whats next you're going to say glint is an ele? He does not use any skills that are available to any class, therefore he is not a playable class. Its that simple seriously! D:

PS: The seer is by far the worst voice I've ever heard. When people dont skip that I start to claw out my ears. :]

I try and try to tell people that, but they never, ever listen! Player classes don't define all other creatures, they just define the players

It's the emperor's girlfriend

DUH!

she want's the emperor dead, what better way to do it?

why?

well let's sum up the motives she has:

1. the emperor is wearing a friggin dress, who wants a boyfriend like that?

2. the emperor is going into a temple alone with 4 half-naked ritualists, the way she looks she can't handle that competition.

3. the standard heritage thingy she gets, she prolly didn't count on getting killed. But hey, she doesnt appear to be that smart.

4. She's obvioulsy a necrophile seeing as she looks the same as that necromancer trainer, no doubt bout that.

So question answered

, it the emperor his girlfriend!

Anyways, Why is this fortune teller? obviously she had the power to make Shiro believe the emperor was going to kill him. Was she telling the truth, or is their a dark secret about her? Did she have something against the royal family? Did she want the emperor dead?

Gwen.

Hypernecrofear · Jun 23, 2006, 07:29 AM // 07:29

I think Shiro is a N/A/W/Mo/Ele/Rt/R/Mes. Its perfectly logical in every sense available. And Gwen is his secret lover....her mom in the UW....shes looking for Gwen. Little does she know that she is in Cantha wanting to get it on with Shiro. She wanted the Emperor dead so Shiro would rebound with her....it makes perfect sense.

think about it. glint is involved in everything, and even has a penchant for prophecies--(the whole "Flameseeker Prophecies")

hmm...now that i think about it, Glint said that she made the Flameseeker Prophecies 200 years from the present time. i think. i need to find my manual.

Ms. Fortune Teller also told her prophecies 200 years ago.

i think ANet's getting redundant. or i'm wrong. :P

I belive completely that the prediction that the emperor would try to kill him was correct. However, it was self-fulfilling. We already know the emperor could not have killed shiro himself (or why need him as a guard?). He would have had his entourage do something about it.

By killing the emperor, the champions had an excuse to kill him. This brought the prediction true as the minions of the emperor killed shiro. This is one of the reasons prophecy is so stupid, many are meant to be heard so that they will come about.

The pivotal character in the whole flashback sequence is Shiro himself, who makes all the decisions. Everything else seems already decided for him, hence the reasons he goes back to the fortune teller. I doubt she was lying to him in any way, as I said before. The flashback gives us a good view about Shiro's irrationality and aggressiveness.

We still don't know what the change of plans was in the Harvest temple. Personally I doubt it was to kill him, the 4 ritualists didn't stand a chance against him and the emperor is hardly that much of a fighter. If shiro did nothing, it is possible the prediction would have simply passed without having effect, or another situation would have arisen. Remember that Shiro is the most powerful of the canthan soldiers, he would likely have smashed his way out of the temple if it was not for Vizu hitting him from behind.

To conclude : the fortune teller was just a random person, a flat character to develop a story without developing, who wished to tell Shiro's fortune because that was the best fortune to be told. Since she can perceive the future, she was probably of the attitude to tell people about it ("Hey, I know what's gonna happen to you!"). Shiro just got pwned by a self-fulfilling prophecy, fueled by his own paranoia (and he's not exactly the smartest person anyway).

The assassin (vizu) was there for a reason. Since she seems to be the only person who can kill Shiro, the Emperor organised for her to come to the Harvest Ceremony and kill Shiro inside the temple. The only problem is that the Emperor wasn't aware of Shiro's encounter with the fortune teller. By the time Vizu arrived, the Emperor was already dead.

snikerz · Jun 23, 2006, 03:39 PM // 15:39

yes the FT perdicted that the emperor was going to kill him but she obviously forgot to press rewind on that little crystal ball of hers lol
she didnt do a very good job of telling him why, she forgot to tell him that the emperor was lying dead on the floor.

the emperor wasnt really going to kill him, it just so happened that the FT only forseen the part where his goons were gonna kill shiro

so is the FT entirely accurante....... no

You need to read the lore, Vizu just happened to be there, like all the other citizens. She saw the look in Shiro's eye's and knew something was up, but she wasn't able to get the Emperer in time to save him.

Frankly I don't think the Eperer ever intended to kill Shiro. If the fortune teller was any good she would be on a retainer for some rich guy.

If I'm worried about my body guard, am I going to attend a ceremony behind locked doors with just a few rits to protect me? No. If I need to kill one of the kindom's most respected/feared assassins, I'm either going to; kill him in his sleep, bring him to the ceremony in chains, or send him on "one last job".

The seer just interpreted things wrong.

Rogier · Jun 23, 2006, 09:27 PM // 21:27

shiro is obviously a warrior, in the movie you can see his is using 1000x hundred blades.... and offcourse hes necro so that makes him W/A/N

Arkantos · Jun 23, 2006, 10:47 PM // 22:47

Shiro is shiro, I dont think you can describe him as a primary.
