Guild Wars 2 Reveals Final End Of Dragons Elite Specialization – The Mechanist
ArenaNet has revealed the ninth and final Guild Wars 2 End of Dragons elite specialization – the Engineer’s Mechanist. The Mechanist wields the new mace as their primary weapon and can adapt to different roles in combat. Plus, they have a giant customizable jade mech fighting by their side that’s armed with the awesomely-named Jade Buster Cannon.
“Choose your mech’s traits and use it to crush your enemies—together, you’re unstoppable. Mech Commands are selected by the player’s trait choices—in effect, the specialization traits you choose customize your mech’s loadout for combat. The mechanist can specialize in various combat roles. They gain access to the mace as a new main-hand weapon, which can be used to apply barriers to allies, synergizing strongly with specific traits in the specialization. Signet utility skills allow them to give further bonuses to themselves and the mech. These signets can have a variety of impacts, such as commanding your mech to emit a large protective force field for allies to shelter inside, creating an electric field around it to confuse enemies, or commanding your mech to unleash its ultimate weapon, the Jade Buster Cannon.”
The Mechanist will be joined by the Thief’s Specter and the Ranger’s Untamed in next week’s End of Dragons beta, which will run from Tuesday, October 26th to Saturday, October 30th. A final beta test is also scheduled for November featuring all nine new elite specializations, the siege turtle, and the game’s first-ever co-op mount. The expansion itself is still scheduled to arrive in February 2022.
You can catch a glimpse of the new Mechanist elite spec in the new trailer below.
