Can't wait for the livestream to learn more about Paragon. I might be Warrioring through the new expansion...

Having Skritt buddies is tempting me to add Thief to my roster too!

I'm interested to see if the livestream makes me change my mind about Antiquary, it just looks all over the place.

Paragon might be interesting enough to finally make me play warrior.

I'm even more confused by the Antiquary than I was before. Looks like the embodiment of the "random bullshit go!" meme.

The theme, the icon, the rifle used by the preview character... the electric guitar?! Nothing fits the other things.

The blog post elaborates on the spec icon at least, the big theme is gambling. Your Skritt pals will steal two random artifacts for you to pick from, and your new utility skill class can be recast while on cooldown, but with a risk of penalties to you.

I do think it's funny that Thief is getting this, while Mesmer is getting ~~bard~~ troubador, given Mesmer has "chaos sorcery"... which is not wild magic, but space, time, mind and sense magic.

I read that but it feels like they had two separate spec ideas they couldn't quite flesh out so they just smooshed them together. I try to reserve my judgment but I don't expect to like it.

Also feels like the spec started as a meme but somehow got developed.

The top comment suggested to me on the video sums it up pretty well "Looks like an Aprils Fools joke"

It looked very weird indeed... At least I can look like Indiana Jones?

[–] illi@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago

I feel like this was the idea they started with but didn't know where to go from there.

Finally interesting ones. 🙃

Jokes aside both antiquary and ritualist are extremely cool.
