My question is will we be able to make Ritualists and Assasins in Elona if you allready have factions installed?

I know it was not implemented in the preview weekend but im hoping it was just laziness from Anet.

Unlikely. Being professions specific to Cantha, my guess would be no.
If you have either though, there will be armour and skills available.

No. By default, any campaign specific professions can only be created as primaries from their home continent. Secondaries are available from other continents that carry support for them (eg. Senji/any profession changer), if you have that campaign and not otherwise.

NO PRIMARY AND NO SECONDARY ASSASSINS OR RITUALISTS can be made in Elona

You will have to see a skill changer either on the Battle Isles or Senji in Cantha to change to a /a or /rt

those professions are unique to Cantha, in much the same way A and Rt cant be made in Tyria, and so on.

This question has been asked and answered alot

To go slightly off topic...Assuming you cannot create an Assassin or Ritualist in Elona, how will new elites be captured? Do you think they would actually put Assassin and Rit bosses in Elona given the fact that the Elonian player cannot create those two classes?

Seeing that assassins and ritualists are going to get new skills in Nightfall, they pretty much have to put some bosses to Elona, since at least some of the new skills are likely to be elites.

There will be assn and rit bosses in Nightfall, but they will merge them in the storyline somehow. Maybe some Canthan refugees came across but carried the plague and so there are a few afflicted here or there (hope not). Or maybe they will make the demonic creatures (from ToPK and such) have observed the fighting skills of Canthans when they invaded Shing Jea, and so learned them for themselves.

Plenty of possiblities on how they do the bosses...but no starting/secondaries in Nightfall for assn/rit. (Unless you go to Battle Isles/SEitung.

I don't think that will be possible either unless they unlock the profession with Factions or with a PvP pack.

Rits and Assassins will get new Elonian armor though.

You can bring your Canthan assassins and ritualists to Elona, but you cannot make them there, because they are unique to Cantha.

How do you know that a secondary proffession changer later in the game won't allow you to choose sin or rit?

Dont know why everyone is just automatically saying no.

Go on the "other" forum and check some of the last 3 or 4 Gaile logs, somewhere in there she mentioned something about being able to make Assassins and Ritualist in Nightfall.

Not only that though, but do notice that thet made new armor and skills for Factions classes in Nightfall, and additionally, Ritualist and Assassin heroes.

As for the comment about no Faction secondary classes, not true either.

Just a comment: GWG doesn't have gwonline's asinine linking policy. You don't have to be so circumspect, and should just link directly to the posts you mention.

Yeah thats what i mean, especially with Senji you need factions, and of course with the Battle Isles man you would also need factions to become that secondary.

Actually my first thoughts were 'no'..

But then I thought, what if you do own factions?

Gailes says that if you dont own factions you wont be able to create them in Nightfall, but she doesn't say that you CAN make them if you DO own factions.

But if there are new rit and sin skills in nightfall there must be boss's of this nature,..

So if you can make a rit or sin in nightfall, would that character have to go back to CANTHA to unlock the Campaign specific skills?..

remember, even if you have prophecies AND factions, you STILL have to take your canthan character back to Tyria to unlock the Prophecies skills..

So I would naturally assume that any Nightfall made rit or sin would have to do the same?.. but then there arnt enough rit or sin skills in nightfall for them to be that good..

Im awfully confused

Plus, if you have to go back to Cantha for elites introduced in NF how will non-NF Rits/Assassins see those bosses in Cantha?

I'd say there will be Rit and Assassin bosses in Elona - there's at least 1 Assassin hero you pick up (unless that vid only had it in to screw our minds up further )...

Whether you can create an Elonian Rit/Assassin - I'd say yes if you Factions...and future chapters would allow you to create all the previous non-core classes if you owned that chapter (at least I hope that is how it works )

Non-NF Rit.sins would definatly have to goto Elona to pickup those NF elite skills.

They cant very well seed them in Cantha because that would mean Factions players could cap them even without NF.

Its just the same as prophecies characters can only pickup Factions Elites from Factions bosses.. so this makes sense to me.
