Dunno about Assassin/Ritualist heroes if there will be any at all since there are Canthan specialized profession. It would be weird to have them when thinking PvE and story, but they'd be good PvP-wise.

I thought it was a flash back to the early 80's... LOL... I love it!

Now, here's one doubt I have... will the improved control available to heroes be extended to henchmen? I was thinking it would, but now it sounds like it won't... I don't see why they would not do it (Heroes would still retain the advantage of being customizable), and I really wish they would (I mostly use henchmen myself, whenever guildies are not available... playing with PUGs is a gambit of precious lifetime I don't often like to take)

She looks oddly like a popular female rapper/actor that I know of...

Something that also came up to my mind while reading the description of heroes in gw.com was the fact that this could bring to GW a potential of PC-NPC interaction akin to that in Baldur's Gate or similar games. Which would be a vast improvement and make the single-player aspect of GW that much more interesting...

Nothing is more ugly than WoW game's top armors. Seriously yellow without nearly any detail.

Just saw the Beat It Dance...
Now the Beat It dance is AWESOME, one of the highest ratest dances by me, and that Paragon DOES NOT DO IT JUSTICE.
That dance is a FAST DANCE. You just look like a retarded bird if you slow it down like that.

The monk, mesmer and necromancer armor sets look outstanding, imo. the dervish hood looks nifty, too. The ones that doen't look quite so hot to me are the ranger and assassin armor. the other ones are alright.
agreed. it looks kinda clumsy as it is. My sin isn't gonna wear one of those.

The new Ritualist and Assassin armor is awesome.
To all of those people who said there would be NO new features for the SIN and RIT owe the rest of us optimists an apology. A BIG ONE.

Heheheh. The anet people sure did have a lot of fun coming up with names for Paragon shouts. And look! They've managed to fix a balance problem and add comic relief all in one shot! All hail to the a-net.
BTW, signet of illusions sounds pretty nifty, but it'll be hard to find a place in already-crowded mesmer skillbars to use it simply as a complement to inspired/thievery spells. Though it might have its use in directed builds... only time will tell.
and the dervish skills... more power to spinal shivers. Yay, says I!!!

I'm glad the ritualist and assassin are gonna get skills and armor 
On the other hand, I'm not looking forward to farming 400,000+ faction again 
Chapter 4'll have what, 400 skills to unlock and +50 skills for every additional chapter? 
Unless there's some seriously good-looking female mesmer armor (talking 15k noble-class here), I'll probably just wait for the PvP edition. Though if that rat can be capped... Mmmm...so tempting...

And I'm assuming that is a monk since they have all the other professions shown in that picture and it would be weird to have two warriors and no monk. Plus the armor has a lot of the similar features of monk armor.

nah it'll work out to be +25 skills per chapter for each class. Thats 350, 200 of that goes to dervish and paragon, and then 25 skills for the other 8 professions. At least, that's the most logical way to be spreading out the skills, that way, the Dervish/Paragon will have 100 skills just like the two factions characters.

As for armor, I think there will probably just be a "Elonian" armor set for ritualists and Assassins, and that will be it. Makes sense, since there will probably be no native Elonian As and Rit characters/monsters. You might still be able to craft Canthan, Tyrian, and Krytan armor for those professions in Elona (at the same NPCs that would craft such sets for the core classes), if the system in Factions is to be taken as a rule.

*sin/rits only got 75 skills each in Factions
znxjanx
Seriously, the Paragon male dance is the best dance i've ever seen ingame!!
am i the only one to see or has it been already discussed? :http://www.guildwars.com/support/gam...llspreview.php
I laughed out loud on the skill called: "Can't Touch This!"
oh and i never actually expected new skills for the ritualist and assassin.

I worked it out wrong :P
OK...
75 skills will go to nightfall that's 150, to balance it with Factions. 200 left split across 10 classes... +20 skills each? That'll leave nightfall with 95 skills, Factions with 95 skills total and the core classes with +20 skills.
It'll be a different story however if they decide to do a perfect balance, so that the specialist classes have the same number of skills that the core clsses have, but even then, elementalists have the most skills than all other classes :P

Of course, the skill can't be TOO good, or else it'll be unfair to mesmers who don't buy nightfall. Then again, this could be part of anet's sales strategy, he, he, he.

Doesn't have to be used with skill-stealing skills either, it can be used to utilize a specific spell from your secondary, or even buff up a Domination or Inspiration spell.

The 2 skills talked about are just teasers - They give them ZOMGPWNZOR desps. on the site when in the game they wont probably be much to talk about. Its a good gameplan for them though, atleast teasing us with SOME stuff instead of their old plan of keeping everything locked up in a safe and saying "Just Wait, Buy It and You'll Love It!"
Urban_Nomad
Heeeeey!! Wait a minute!
The picture of that female dervish that everyone though was "Morgahn."
The reason we thought that was because there was a picture from Leipzig that showed that dervish on the cover of the CE talking to.... Morgahn. Only then we didn't know which was which, the only clue was that the caption showed "Morgahn" speaking. However, she was referring to "Warmashal" as she spoke, so we assumed that the other person was the warmarshal.
But NOW, we have a picture of "Morgahn." And it's the same person that was in the picture. The one everyone thought was the warmarshal. So that means that HE (morgahn) was referring to the dervish as he spoke....
Warmarshal Varesh is the woman dervish on the cover of the CE?

Yes Varesh is that woman; it's been confirmed since this morning. And the Nightfall CE comes with a real world mini standee and an ingame minipet of Varesh 
Urban_Nomad
Really? I didn't see it confirmed anywhere. Oh well, it's the effort that counts
Guild Terror
come eveyone, lets get on a male paragon, dance like m.j. and shout "Can't Touch This!"

Are you saying that a woman can't be a warmashall? Hmm?
Urban_Nomad
Well, you have to admit.... Varesh?
Anyway, the CE looks great, and I luvs the new armors, I does
