Guild Wars 2 lead designer, Eric Flannum, has just posted up a fantastic developer diary. In this diary he talks everything from Guild Wars 2 basics to the skill-system and the 10-slot skill bar. Also revealed is the game’s first class, the Elementalist! Also explained is that your character’s first five skills are determined by your choice of weapon and profession. Later, Flannum states like in Guild Wars original, most professions can equip two weapon sets and swap very quickly between the two during combat.
