Guild Wars Nightfall - impressions

The other big change is the introduction of another two character classes in the form of the Dervish and the Paragon. The latter's a kind of ranger/warrior hybrid, armed with a spear, as well as assorted leadership abilities, who gives buffs to the rest of the party.

The Dervish is a melee specialist whose over-enthusiastic scythe attacks means they damage anyone in their immediate vicinity. Also, when they gain the appropriate Elite skills, they gain the ability to channel the power of a god and become a walking Avatar for the deity in question. Which is pretty messy for the opposition.
