The page for the Guardian just went up on GuildWars2.com, but not before being scooped by two different news sites. Eurogamer was first, publishing their article earlier this morning and OnlineWelton following suit with their interview with game designer Jon Peters.
Taken from the GuildWars2.com:
The guardian is a devoted fighter who calls upon powerful virtues to smite enemies and protect allies. As dangerous with a staff as he is with a mighty two-handed hammer, a true guardian is a master tactician who knows when to sacrifice his own defenses to empower his allies to achieve victory.
Each guardian is supported by passive benefits, but he can relinquish those benefits, passing his powers on to his allies. This ability makes the guardian an excellent supportive fighter whether they are leading an assault or defending your party’s flanks.
Guardians have developed three virtues that empower them in combat. By wielding Justice, the guardian’s attacks can burn his enemies. With Courage, the guardian can shrug off even a mighty blow. Through Resolve, the guardian passively regenerates health, allowing him to wade into the most dangerous situation and come out alive.
You can learn more about the guardian, including their special skill types, weapons of choice and mechanics on the official page.
