First and foremost you have to have the expansion that corresponds with the elite spec you want. So for Druid Heart of Thorns (HoT). You can take your Ranger into PvP (well for starters the lobby) and you should have the ability to try out the elite specs for any expansions you have unlocked/bought. One thing I will say is, Druid is largely This is an up to date Guild Wars 2 guide covering everything you need to know about the Mechanist, which is an elite specialization of the Engineer. This vid One of the most anticipated features of any Guild Wars 2 expansion is unquestionably the addition of new elite specializations. We got our first peek at the first elite spec for End of Dragons, the Mesmer’s Virtuoso, less than a month ago, with teases and details for Harbinger and Willbender in the intervening weeks. D tier: class is dangerous to the player- death is more likely then success. F tier: the class is awful, out classed by every other class- class needs a rework. S tier: Ranger: large kit of damage, pets, strong healing, not totally squishy. Revenant: Same thing as ranger: you can do all roles, its also flashy. A tier: Tempest can provide alacrity and healing while catalyst can provide quickness, although they aren't commonly chosen over other classes which can provide these boons. Catalyst is also one of the best DPS specs. Both are also good for PvP, tempest as a healer and catalyst as a duelist. 1. Deadeye. 1 shot may be all it takes The elite specification of Deadeye - this class is a ranged force to be reckoned with. If they are able to find a location and kneel, this is the most powerful ranged class in the game dealing the most damage and having the greatest range with 1500. When designing a new elite specialization, Arena Net reviews all aspects of Guild Wars 2 to identify areas where a class may be lacking or underperforming.Whether it's the general open world and hardcore endgame PvE or structured PvP and World vs. World, classes are examined to determine if there is a gap in the roles they perform or if they may be under-represented in a particular facet of Bunny Thumper is a spec based on old Guild Wars 1 Secondary class, the Warrior. GW1's Warrior is pretty much the grand father of the Soldier archclass which all three Soldier classes in GW2 fall in. GW1 Warrior plus itself is GW2 Warrior pretty much. GW1 Warrior plus Ritualist is the GW2 Guardian. Example 2 - deadeye you are able to use a sniper rifle. Again its a choice, the abilities with deadeye are like marking targets for extra crit as a rogue in wow. All classes eventually will unlock 3 simultaneous skill trees to use. You may also use 2 sets of weapons to swap from, each having their own abilities and combos. Maybe I am playing them wrong but its the class I struggled with the most since coming back. And this is from someone who mained a thief throughout beta and the first 1.5 yrs when I played way back when (hundreds of hrs on thief). I would say out of HoT and PoF, the spec that surprised me the most might be Firebrand. X126.
