The second Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons beta is set to begin on September 21, giving fans a chance to check out three new elite character specializations before they officially drop in 2022.
To join in on the Guild Wars 2 beta, log in to your account anytime between September 21 and September 25. You'll then see an option to test out the new characters, which will be power-leveled to 80 so you can tackle some endgame content. Here are the three elite specializations up for grabs, along with a short description of each (straight from ArenaNet):

Warrior – Bladesworn
"The bladesworn have the ability to wield a unique Canthan weapon known as a gunsaber. Exclusive to warriors, the gunsaber uses cartridges infused with magical, enriched amber from the heart of the mines in Echovald Forest, delivering energy to both the blade and the wielder while giving them unprecedented power. By combining the advantages of a bladed weapon and a firearm, the gunsaber augments the martial prowess of the warrior with this new technology, allowing them to launch devastating attacks with explosive force behind the blade."
Revenant – Vindicator
"The vindicator swings into the battle like a wrecking ball, expending endurance and energy to cleave down swathes of enemies and bolster allies. Greatsword is unlocked for use with the revenant’s vindicator specialization, closing gaps, holding ground, and wreaking havoc on multiple foes. Gathering and unleashing the Mists from the blade, this specialization focuses on being in the face of multiple foes and creating dangerous situations that are difficult for them to avoid."
Elementalist – Catalyst
"Catalysts imbue ancient magics into their jade tech spheres, calling upon imagery from all over Tyria to concentrate into a powerful burst of elemental energy. The catalyst is primarily a damage dealer that is adept at controlling areas of the battlefield. After building up elemental energy through combat, it can be expended to deploy and maintain the Jade Sphere, creating an area of power that bolsters allies and damages enemies."
Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons beta runs from September 21 to September 25. The last three elite specializations will be revealed prior to the third beta, which is slated for an October 26 kickoff.
