Guild Wars 2 gameplay vids: The Warrior

Arena gave us a glimpse of Guild Wars 2's Elementalist, now they've unveiled The Warrior.

The warrior is a master of weapons who relies on speed, strength, toughness, and heavy armor to survive in battle. A warrior can shrug off blow after blow to stay in the fight, all the while building up adrenaline to fuel his offense.

Adrenaline makes the warrior more powerful, increasing his damage output with every attack while powering up his burst skill. Each weapon set has a single designated burst skill which a warrior can trigger by spending all his built-up adrenaline to unleash a powerful attack. The warrior can use his burst skill at any time, but the more adrenaline stages he has filled, the more devastating his attack will be. Some burst skills apply more and varying conditions while others simply do more damage.

One word: BADASS!

Thanks to Rolf for the heads-up!

Guild Wars 2 gameplay vids: The Elementalist

Arenanet has provided some Guild Wars 2 info on one of its Professions: The Elementalist.

The Elementalist channels natural forces of destruction, making fire, air, earth, and water do her bidding. What the Elementalist lacks in physical toughness, she makes up for in her ability to inflict massive damage in a single attack, dropping foes from a distance before they can become a threat. Yet, despite her incredible offensive potential, versatility is what makes the Elementalist truly formidable.

Rather than swap weapons to adjust to new situations, the multi-faceted Elementalist quickly adapts to new threats by attuning to different elements as needed. When the Elementalist attunes to any of the four elements, she receives intrinsic bonuses that continually empower her.

Basically you play like Aang of Avatar: The Last Airbender but you can kick even serious butt. This character can use any of the four elements: earth, wind, fire, and water.

As proof, below are just a couple of skills this Profession can use:
