Guild Wars 2 expansion Heart of Thorns will add a new profession to the MMORPG, the Revenant, a heavily armoured warrior powered by a connection to legendary heroes of the past.
Now developer ArenaNet has lifted the lid on the profession’s elite specialization, the Herald. These guys take their inspiration from the ancient and noble dragon, Glint.
”In the original Guild Wars campaign where players met Glint, they had to fight the six facets of dragon before reaching her,” explains the developer. ”The herald adds skills to the revenant that represent all six of these facets. It also gives the revenant a shield with skills that provide healing and boons, along with a new Legendary Dragon Stance. Summed up, the herald is a support build which utilizes boons, utility and defence skills to protect allies and dominate enemies.”
Over on the Guild Wars 2 website there’s a full run-down of the Herald’s abilities, including her roster of underwater attacks. Heart of Thorns is expected to release later this year.
