I'd like to see another spell caster... perhaps a Summoner or something.

I'm guessing the assassins will be all about stealth and melee attacks. it will likely be the new class for runners.

It looks like dual-wielding might be one of their abilities, although its too early to judge - every other class was holding two weapons in their concept art, after all. ;P

Although if the Assasins really are about agility and stealth, I'm guessing their AL won't be very high.

I must say a pure matial arts prof would have been better than assasin. I wonder how they will make it so that its not an unbalanced class.

Very high damage and very weak armour.

i think that that guy made it up cuz if you keep on reading no one else says that they found anything on that magazines site. Plus wouldn't guild wars post this info cuz they want more publicity?

If you did read on long enough. Gaile confirms it on guild hall.

Plus you might maybe notice the ANNOUNCEMENT on GuildWars.com ;P

You can't hit what you can't see. Stealth can be very imbalancing to PvP. It must be implemented very carefully.

I don't know why ArenaNet does what they do. However, Gaile Gray has commented on this. (She just hasn't commented about it here. HA HA.) Sometimes ArenaNet gives exclusive content to gaming publications . Heh... sometimes they give fansites exclusive content too. I remember when the cover of Issue #4 had concept artwork of the Elementalist. There's a funny story about how Photics.com got that artwork exclusively. Let's just say that was not my original cover. Although, I think the final version is much better.
