Technically, Spellbreaker were supposed to be the remnants of the Sunspears (the organization), not of Paragons.

And the daggers being the broken weapons is more metaphoric in its meaning, than being actual, broken weapons.

Just because both use a scythe (Reaper Shroud actually uses a hammer that just looks like a scythe), doesn't mean they are the same or even remotely similar.

Mechanics wise they are similar. Take a god form and break stuff. While swinging a huge weapon that turns into a scythe.

Dervish would fit revenant more than warrior and elementalist. He got magic, swaps classes and transforms to heroes.

 

Elementalist are plain soft light armored. It will be funny if we can crowd cleave zergs.

 

Warrior on the other hand are rage or anger management class. Plain boring play style.

 

Paragon would fit paladin more.

With how the elite specs work, you could add a dervish espec to half (or more) of the gw2 classes - and each of such attempts would not only be completely different from the other ones, but also equally different from the gw1 Dervish. The only way to do Dervish right in gw2 is to create a completely new core class. Same with Ritualist, by the way.

Guardian is likely going to get more of a sheriff style pistol/rifle using next more likely.

 

Warrior? Dervish has already been split amungst other classes. You aren't getting a 1 to 1. Each elite was basically combining one class with another for the original 8. Bezerker was basically warrior/elementalist while spell breaker was warrior/mesmer. Now, each elite also adds a weapon. So what does the warrior lack? Pistols, scepters, focus, staff, short bow. Of all of those, the likely weapons will be short bow or pistol. Too me that means the warrior is going to be blended with the medium armor classes. warrior/thief style could be AMAZING...instead of bezerking...you go into a shadow state. Pistol seems more of a warrior/engineer which could have some interesting mechanics. Warrior already has banners...it could even allow the warrior to summon a siege tank or something.

ppl are completely forgetting the whole point of the dervish, it's a leather armored profession with PBAOE high damage.

to put it simple, the dervish sacrifices it's high defense for high damage and mobility, the exact opposite the OP suggested.

it's the same mistake ppl make about the ritualist, ppl talk about the revanant but it's a ritualistic caster, A.K.A. a necro attuned to spirits so no heavy armor in any sense.
