Before I started playing GW2, I played SWTOR. Shortly after Path of Fire was released, a certain someone on the SWTOR forums - who also frequents these forums - mentioned that the holosmith elite specialization gets a lightsaber (or, well, a sword that looks really similar to one).
Basically what it says, never played Ranger before, mained a necro and thief on and off for years (I'm pretty casual despite hours in the game), enjoying the famous pokemon aspect, have a nice buff nord lass who's easy on the eye but my ultimate goal is a classic ranged longbow type as all my othMost classes have at least one elite specialisation which is essentially just an objectively better version of the default class (Tempest, Daredevil, Soulbeast, etc). There are some cases in PvP where you can get away with playing a non-elite spec class. Guardian, for example, is the meta support spec in sPvP.
I present the Assassin from Cantha as the next elite specialisation. Inspired From Guild Wars 1 this will bring back weapon combos with a new mechanic for thieves called combos. Lead attacks, off-hand attacks and dual attacks will come with the new weapon set dual swords.
