Playable Elite Specializations

Virtuoso (Mesmer)
Weapon: Dagger
The virtuoso sharpens the power of their mind into deadly psionic blades. Unlike traditional mesmer illusions, they wield these directly as magic projectiles.

 

Willbender (Guardian)
Weapon: Off-hand sword
A willbender’s bladework is unmatched, and they use rapid movement skills to take the fight directly to their enemies

Harbinger (Necromancer)
Weapon: Pistol
Harbingers use corrosive bullets against their foes and inflict Blight on themselves to convert pain into pow
