Warrior[edit]
A Warrior looking plainly.... awesome.
So the Warrior is finally announced officially! We all knew that the Warrior would be in GW2, but I don't think any of us imagined that the Warrior would be this freaking awesome! For example, they have skills now that actually look cool and don't look like they are doing the same thing over and over - hack and slash. Don't take my word for it, see the images!
A Warrior using the chain: Sever Artery - Gash - Final Thrust on his opponents.
So, lets see what skills have been announced! (I will only be talking about the ones with clips to them for the moment as there are heaps which do not have clips to them.
Evicerate - When used, this skill will cause you to charge towards your target, then deal heavy damage with your weapon.
Arcing Shot - This skill will cause you to shoot flaming arrows, in a high arc, at a ground area, resulting in an area of effect explosion.
Shield Stance - It negates damage being received from infront of the user through the use of a shield as protection.
Stomp - Knocks back and damages opponents.
Sever Artery → Gash → Final Thrust - Sever Artery is the first warrior sword chain attack skill that causes bleed. Gash is the second warrior sword chain attack skill that inflicts bleed and "heavy damage". Final Thrust is the third warrior sword chain attack skill.

Elementalist[edit]
An Elementalist using the spell Static Field.
So the first profession just got announced today! The Elementalist! The class I wanted to play anyway! :) This has made me very excited, and so today I made myself a user page for GW2, I already had a user page for GW1, but I just had to do this. So lets talk Elementalist!
[[1]]
"The Elementalist channels natural forces of destruction, making fire, air, earth, and water do her bidding." Sounds good.
"The multi-faceted Elementalist quickly adapts to new threats by attuning to different elements as needed. When the Elementalist attunes to any of the four elements, she receives intrinsic bonuses that continually empower her." I love the sound of this! I can never get bored of that!!
An Elementalist using the spell Meteor Shower.
There are a total of 5 skills announced for the Elementalist! These are:
Meteor Shower - deals heavy damage and causes knockdown to enemies within the selected area.
Static Field - creates a circle of electrical energy that will damage and stun anyone entering or exiting it.
Water Trident - deals damage to a single enemy. When fired, the spell is shown emitting from the Elementalist in the form of a trident.
Churning Earth - once used, charges for (approx.) 4 seconds until emitting heavy damage to all nearby enemies.
Phoenix - once used, fires towards an enemy dealing damage then "bounces" to the nearest enemy also dealing damage. The phoenix then returns to the caster.

You just HAVE to check out the videos on the GW2 page here![[2]] There is also Water Trident and Pheonix to see and watch!
So far I must admit the most intriguing skill so far might be Pheonix (not saying its my favourite though!!!) as its got the biggest change ever! This time a pheonix actually flies out and comes back, so you can position yourself in a different spot to deal more damage. I love it.
Comments? Suggestions? What do you think of the new Elementalist class?!
