Much more skills NEED to be added I am willing to take suggestions and criticisms.(Wrote this in about 5 minutes)



I feel that the low damage compensates for the speed(cmon about 3 dmg per hit). Needs some more self healing and some attack skills.

I don't think we need any more assassin's. It would be boreing if Anet remade a profession that they already created and made it slightly differant.

Also only primary attribute improves certain character aspects. Strenght increases armor penetration, but tactics doesn't do anything.

Theres just alot more stuff that should be made before Anet creates the hermit.

Yes...we all want a class who fight with bare hands...

BUT WE NEED A BETTER NAME THAN JUST HERMIT!!!

Hermit is someone who live outside of civilization...alone...and GW is a game about teamwork. Just doesn't fit the theme.

The reason why we have "assassin" instead of "rogue" is because rogue is someone who work alone, but Assassins work in teams

Assassins usually worked alone, creeping in the shadows of their victim.

Anyways...I dont think anyone would use this profession IMO. ppl already hate assassins for 70 armour, and a weak meleer with 60 armour is the last thing anyone needs.

I like the primary (thought suggested before)
You could make a Warrior Hate class with say up the % of dodging but with lot lower armor. But would make make them weak against magic.

Also becareful about increase attack speed. lots skill take too much advantage from that.

Need more nitch and unique factors. Try harder. (and Hermit is a very bad name...)
