One of the most interesting additions will be the so-called “cross profession combos”, which basically allow players to string two attacks together to create some ultra-powerful smack-down moves.
Guild Wars 2 Power Leveling and Guild Wars 2 Gold are hot at www.powerleveling.us, we are welcome for your coming.
The “cross profession combos” work as follows: one player will begin the combo with an “initiator” ability, while another player will end the combo with a compatible “finisher”. As ArenaNet’s Jon Peters explains:
Guild Wars 2 will allow a player to create a character from a combination of five races and eight professions, the five races being the humans and charr, introduced in Prophecies, the asura and norn, introduced in Eye of the North, and the sylvari, a race exclusive to Guild Wars 2. The professions, three of which do not appear in Guild Wars, are divided into armor classes: “scholars” with light armor, “adventurers” with medium armor, and “soldiers” with heavy armor. There is no dedicated healing class as the developers felt that making it necessary for every party to have a healer was restrictive.
“So what happens when a finisher meets an initiator? Here are some examples to get you excited. Use Ricochet through a Firewall to get a bouncing axe that has a chance to burn the targets it hits. Leaping Death Blossom through a Symbol of Faith will remove conditions from allies near your target. Stomp inside a Smoke Screen to cloak nearby allies. This is just a small sampling of what you can do with combos, and we leave it to you to find them all and combo to your heart’s delight.”
