Yes, and in light of this... My two most favorite video games, Soul Calibur and Guild Wars, combined... I give you, my new avatar

I actually like Zasalamel, too. Although my favorite character has to be Astaroth.

Astaroth is pretty cool, but nobody compares to Nightmare

Wrong, custom characters were the best in SC3.

But yeah he does look a lot like him.

Well Zasalamel might in fact be based on Dervishes. They are actual things...

"OMG That crotchity old man is wearing a hodded black jacket! He looks like a JEDI!" Come on you Star Wars nerds, whipe the cheetoes off your face and chill for a moment.

If anyone checks out what a real Dervish is and then takes a second look at the discription we were given for the new class, it makes a lot of sense, even their looks (though they don't have the cool hats)

Anyway, when I saw the Dervish of GW and read that they use Scythes, my first thought was the dude from SC3

Wiki creeps me out. Read the bottom of that entry, and you'll see a mention of GW:N having Dervishes, information released only days ago... It's like they automatically filter all knowledge through wiki before it's released to the world. It should team up with google to take over the planet (or perhaps it already did? :O)

Maybe becuase Lukas watched Hidden Forest one too many times while he was having a serious creator's block with his movie series.

Samuel L. Jackson.. Sorry but thats so far fetched I'd easily be lead to believe that was a stereotyped comment. But besides that I think accusing the Star Wars Nerds is jumping the gun a bit.. Most people don't even know about the new professions yet.

Its like a big sheep thing to call people geek because they like starwars or lord of the rings.

My friend usto have the whole Stereotype approach to star wars he went and saw it and he liked it, and that opinion still changed.

Some people are just unable to accept anything that is not reality, thats why they watch reality telivison shows.

Anyway to keep on topic, I rember guild wars going on about how they would go sci fy, if there was a big enough audience that desired it.

Maybe they have already started lol.

random thoughts: who here has played starcraft? (everyone duh :P), warriors.. would be like the terran foot soldiers... healers would be the medics from brood wars.. ranger = ghost recon sniper person?

I always thought that the Dervish looked like the members of the muslim ascetic order, who perform whirling dances.

Hmm now there is a thought...maybe our Dervish is based on the real Dervish...hmmm and the AoE spinning scythe attacks could be...wait...related to the whirling dances the Dervish in real life perform! GASP.

And BTW our Dervish doesn't look nearly as cool as the real life ones...

I just hope that the male Dervish's don't wear skirts...and why did I suddenly think Radishes when I typed that?
