Nightfall

As I hope you all know a pre-veiw event of guildwars nightfall is going to appear on the 28th to the 30th. This will mean that you can play the 2 new profs PARAGON amd DERVISH. I've found little imformation about them but that which i have i can show you here

Paragon
The paragon isn't meant to be a frontline fighter. Instead, the paragon is best suited in a support role as a battle commander, capable of supporting teammates by throwing spears and using verbal chants and shouts that can boost the fighting abilities of those nearby. And the paragon's angelic nature isn't just aesthetic, as this profession's presence can help teammates resist hexes and other curses.

It's easy to identify paragons on the battlefield, thanks to their angelic look. Even the paragon's armor is saintly in appearance, thanks to the incorporation of ivory and mother of pearl in its materials. And if that weren't enough, a paragon's metal armor usually has the form of wings engraved in it. It's no wonder that the Elonians in the game believe that paragons are guardian angels sent by the gods to serve as champions for the people.





Dervish

If the paragon is best while standing back from a fight, the dervish is at home in the heart of one. These holy warriors are capable of striking at multiple targets simultaneously with their wicked scythes. Of course, they're armed with a whirling, spinning attack that's perfect for when in the middle of a bunch of foes. Dervishes can also cast spells on themselves that aid in their assault, and the profession has various healing and protection abilities as well.

The profession's most powerful ability, however, is to temporarily transform into the physical embodiment of a god. Since the profession is part warrior and part priest, dervishes are clad in robes rather than armor. Protection comes mainly from the dervish's agility in battle, as well as the various protection enhancements and spells. In addition to the robe, dervishes are equipped with bracers on their arms, and they're constantly hooded to show their humility to their gods.

OK peeps since you know what the new professions are like I would like you to tell me your expectations of them (optional). Do you think they'll be cool?
Maybe you think dervishes won't do well next to the assasin or warrior?
Do you think Paragons are total rip offs of rts? (these are what other people think not me)
Or maybe you'd like to tell us just which one you'll play more.

If I'd have to choose one I'd pick the Dervish. I dont have a warrior and so I'm always in the back of the team, supporting, hexing or turning energy into pain . Life in the frontline would be a welcome change and i like the idea of shapeshifting (if thats what they mean with takng the physical embodiement of a god).
I'll tell you one thing: Both professions are not what i had expected, or maybe a little.

defintly devrish new assassin here i come
and i think pearls are gonna lose some of their values since theyll become more dropable as they are needed to make the paragon armors

ya they kind do remind white mantle woulda have been 1 if they werent so evil
and on another note *spamm spamm spamm*
