What is exactly their role in the Eye of the North? Or in Guild Wars 2?
A new profession? A new theme of elementalists?|||Golemancers need not be Elementalists. As I recall, Gadd is a Necromancer, and Oola is a Ritualist. I even have her wand, and it's a Restoration wand.|||How about just a new race?
Some fantasy RPG or MMORPH have something smaller then a dwarf in their world. LoTR and WoW to name a few...
In fact, they remind me of Gnomes in WoW.
Check out the lore for WoW. You'll be amazed.
As what role they will play in GW2, I don't know. (Haven't completed the game, so I can only answer what I know for sure.)
I remember the discussion if elves should be included in GW. It's funny to see they'll be in GW2 (or something similar to elves). Even more so, all the other typical fantasy races (or most part) will be included to.|||just to set things straight..
Gnomes in WoW only share their technological affinity with asurans and whereas asurans use magic to create this new tech, gnomes use regular engineering materials made from metal, rubber, ect.
Also, gnomes in WoW are essentially homeless (troggs pwnd their city) and generally find themselves inferior to taller beings/the dwarves (who took them in when gnomegeran got sacked) where asurans see taller beings as clumsy "Bookahs" who dont have the mental capacity necessary to function correctly.
really they arent so much alike :P|||I'd like to set something else straight. The "-Mancer" suffix does not in any way imply elementalism. It simply means "Magic" (Or "Magic User"). Thus, a Blood Necro would be a "Haemomancer", a Water Ele would be a "Hydromancer", and a Curser could be a "Katadesmoimancer". It's nothing to do with the elementalist class; it's simply a suffix.|||Actually, -mancer means "bringer of" or "one who deals in". So Pyromancer actually means "Bringer of Fire", and Necromancer actually means "One who deals in death" or "death bringer". It can also mean "to prophecy from/divine from". It doesn't mean magic at all.|||The asura do remind me of the gnomes in Dungeons and Dragons though, though they are very bright, they also can go overboard and blow themselves up. It isn't just magic though, it is also working materials and technology. Oola is using a hammer at the one cutscene when you finally meet her. They not only have golems, but also huge machines that resemble titans, that big whirly ring thingy on one of the missions and the floating blocks in Rata Sum. (everyone has noticed by now that Rata Sum is an anagram of Mursaat?)|||Either what is their goals and power sources, it's doesn't stop being true that Golemancers are a character theme that might have some coverage in Guild War 2.
They could be the Minnion Masters from the future. Or the Beast Masters of the future.
This also brings another question. If the Asura can build advanced machinery now, how will this turn out in 200 years? Airships and laser-powered weaponry?
In the mission G.O.L.E.M., the Golems they create are very powerful: smashing foes with their fists, shooting laser beams like a Handoken and draining the life from other creatures to heal others. And let's not forget where Gadd got the energy sample to power the Golems (the Bloodstone located under his encampment).
And also, in Oola's lab the Golems show a sophisticated program that's runs them, just like any program it's controlled by a master servo that manages all other Golems. Golems besides being weapons and tools are also powerful computing devices (otherwise they couldn't receive orders and commands).|||well, and I saw a melee golem in the second to last mission use a skill with the word bloodstone in it.
so CLEARLY the golems are involved with it.
