Guild Wars 2 Sword Warrior

As in GW1, the Guild Wars 2 Sword Warrior wields a one-handed sword to slice through any enemies. These agile warriors may also use shields and warhorns in their offhand and can now choose to wield two swords for maximum deadly effect!

A warrior with a one handed sword is all about causing bleeding and chasing down targets that are trying to run from him.

In his first skill slot the Warrior gets a 3-part combination skill chain that causes loads of bleeding and has a big hit at the end. Similar to the Assassin's attack chains in the original Guild Wars, combination skills work where if you hit with skill 1 it changes to be skill 2, then if you hit with skill 2 it changes to skill 3 and then cycles back to skill 1.

The Warrior's second skill slot is the area of effect skill "Flurry". You hold it down and it does a rapid series of hits.

The third skill is the movement skill "Savage Leap" which he uses to leap at his foe.

Here's a quick video showing the GW2 Sword Warrior in action...

The Guild Wars 2 sword warrior is a much improved version than anything we have ever seen before.
