It can be a lot of things, but 'stealthy' isn't one of them which is pretty core to the theme of thief IMO. While I agree that thief could use a support spec, I'd rather bard just go to mesmer(like how they showed mesmer as a bard before 'breaking the illusion' and revealing mesmer officially leading up to the game's release) and thief get something along the lines of spellthief. A thief who focuses on stealing boons and mimicking magic users would be much more thematic than a thief who plays music in combat.

Spellthief is from DnD too, we don't really have a class with a boonstealing focus yet and with mirage taking from thief we should have a thief spec borrow from mesmer in that regard.

We already have back copters, so I don't see why not.

Mostly normal bags

Asura actually strike me as fitting guardian pretty well with the Asura we've met and it being the most conventionally magic focused of the soldier professions.

Which brings up the only real plot that ArenaNet can pull since the Commander has very obvious plot armor that they cannot bring their mortality into question: political strife. But we've done that thrice now (sylvari disdain, Krytan civil war, Awakened aftermath), and all while Anet has improved in telling such each time, they're not good enough to make it the center of a longstanding plot.
Stuff doesn't have to be only a physical threat, and even then story wise we defeated mordremoth by finding his weakness and Balthazar with a macguffin. We're not "going up in power level", just finding new solutions to defeat specific enemies.
So no, there is no actual need for serial escalation.

> The thing for me about GW2 "lasting 6 years" with frequent updates is that ArenaNet has been seemingly obsessed with upping the previous plot. It's hard to keep doing that. Just look at the Dragonball Franchise. When DBZ ends with the threat wiping out humanity (just to undo) and threatening the gods of the universe, they moved onto threats to the multiverse with Super.

> A "Guild Wars 3" (if they even continue the franchise) would be a way to reset that. The only other way would really be to eliminate our power sources. And since the Commander has plot armor, that means crippling/killing allies, which is already overdone.
Don't need to keep one upping previous plots to keep going.

I run almost full plaguedoctor's on my support firebrand, I do mix in a bit of seraph for parts I can't get and a bit of harrier's and minstrel's. It works pretty well though.

We already have a kitsune mount, that's good enough to me.

Yes.

That would actually make some sense.

No, this wouldn't do anything to get people into raids and also your wording for the poll options sucks.

That was after absorbing the bloodstone explosion wasn't it?

I mostly use MF

They didn't add Abaddon, they added Mallyx.

It gets top PvE with dual daggers, not rifle. You clearly don't really know high level PvE well.

It's one of the top single target DPS classes in PvE though.

It's possible to be scared of spiders but not scorpions.

The afterlife has always been a thing in setting though. It's like saying the existence of undead and ghosts does the same thing.

Paragon as a Guardian spec would work for it. We see them using spears and unique skills.

I'd suggest using transmutation charges on the volatile tools, speeds them up significantly if you change the animation/skin.

I'd love a rat mini too.

Yeah that's why I suggested Lazarus.

Obscure rules doesn't make it thematically fitting and if it did end up in GW2 it would still look better on Mesmer.
