Guild Wars II reveals the new specialization class for the Mesmer
The first of 9 specializations for Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns™ has been unveiled. The fans are eagerly awaiting which elite specializations will be connected to which classes, and ArenaNet has obliged and started with a series of unveilings which will show every specialization, complete with video’s, new gameplay and developer blogs on the official Guild Wars 2 website.
The Chronomancer is the first elite specialisation, exclusively for the Mesmer – profession. The next three will be shown over the upcoming weeks. This new combat specialization brings with it new and unique skills. Use these to get a strategic edge on the competition in PVP, or deal some damage in PVE. It was quite a challenge to find the right interpretation of time which fits Tyria, so that innovative gameplay changes could be made.
In Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns, necromancers won’t be the only profession that has access to well skills. When mesmers become chronomancers, they’ll unlock access to a suite of new time-themed well skills. These well skills place a giant clock face on the ground that ticks in time with a pulsing effect. The clock isn’t just for show, either—the wells tick exactly in time with the clock hands, three times overall. When time is up, the well releases a powerful burst effect. This burst effect can be offensive or defensive depending on the well itself, but observant players can watch the hands of the clock to tell when it will trigger.
