Guild Wars 2 Reveals Guardian Elite Spec Ahead Of Today’s Official Reveal Stream

ArenaNet is ramping up its Guild Wars 2 elite specialization reveals ahead of the official reveal stream later today with a sneak peek at the Willbender. The Willbender is the Guardian’s upcoming elite spec and the third one to be unveiled by the developers, with the Mesmer’s Virtuoso and the Necromancer’s Harbinger being the first two. There’s speculation that the three specs will be the first ones that player get to try during next week’s beta test.

“Willbenders are protectors of the Canthan throne and fated guardians to the Weh no Su (or Ascendant Emperors). A new form of Guardian that uses of an off-hand sword and physical abilities to help them reach and execute their foes, the willbender makes the profession more mobile than it has ever been. The willbender’s off-hand sword and many physical utilities have been given multi-strike and bonus movement capabilities making it a highly aggressive damage dealer, bursting down foes while simultaneously maintaining their health and well-being through destruction on the battlefield.”

The Virtuoso, Harbinger, and Willbender along with six other Cantha-inspired elite specializations will be coming to Guild Wars 2 next year when End of Dragons launches in February. Watch out for the official reveal stream later today at 12nn PDT on the Guild Wars 2 official Twitch channel.
