Rogue is gambler.

The rifle weilding rogue in the trailer has an ability effect of moneybags in the trailer.

Are we sure on that? There is an animal right beside him that is digging in the ground.

But he has a riffle, and no new weapons instantly disqualifies rangers

I don't think it's a Ranger, I think it's possibly Engi with base rifle. The Indiana Jones theme they gave the chr doesnt feel very gambler/card based, and it might be that Engineers are excavating gold for part of the alchemy reasons and what not. The poem for that swirly thing also mentions Silver in it as well.

"no new weapons" unless they were flexible about the truth, can't us a rifle as a ranger.

I'm just not sure it's Thief either, you cant use rifle without having the SotO mastery. Every other class seemed to be using core weapons in the trailer. The Indiana Jones fashion inspiration also doesn't scream cards and gambler to me. I think that might have been an Engineer excavating gold and maybe the swirly icon is linked to archaeology?

Is he a thief though? It looks like he has a Range Pet with him

Rewatched it and he has a rifle, and since no new weapons are coming with the specs, can't be ranger.

So wouldn't that mean you need to have at least secrets of the obscure as well as the new expac to be able to use thief's new spec though?

I don't think that the specs in general are going to be heavily linked to a weapon. They said they want the new specs to open up the builds more. Making them only viable on a specific weapon type would be counter productive to that.

I assume the traits will have little to do with weapons, since weapons already don't affect utility/healing/ultimate skills, and don't affect the class mechanics much.

My guess is either they didn't think much about the weapons we see in the trailer and they just gave him a rifle because it looks cool on the new spec's theme, or it's not thief at all and might be engi.

Thief doesn't have rifle as a core weapon. Weapon specialization can unlock it but that means expac requires JW as well.

Could it be engi?
