After months of waiting ArenaNet finally unveils the 5th profession!

It seems like the curtain around Guild Wars 2 is finally slipping, once more. After months of near silence from the offices of ArenaNet the excitement around this unveiling is palpable.

The unveiling in question is the long awaited 5th profession, the 'guardian'. Eurogamer got the scoop early, putting up an interview earlier today and the anticipated skill video.

All in all, it seems like the guadian is the most support oriented of the classes so far. Guild Wars 2 lead designer Eric Flannum even suggests it was created with those who enjoy playing more traditional healing classes in mind. That said, the guardian is definitely a front line class and appears to pack a hell of a punch, sending enemies flying across the battlefield.
