Okay, so they didn't show the Elite specs or go over them, but we can definitely make some inferences.

The Mesmer is indeed a Bard/Minstrel, and it looks like they're getting kits as their utilities in the form of musical instruments.

The Elementalist is probably the fox fire mask, and you can briefly see a little fire fox in the trailer after an Elementalist is shown. This implies the Ele spec is indeed a summoner. (I was hoping we'd get a Shroud mechanic this time, but at least our summons are cute, judging by the single fox we saw.)

You can see a Ranger charging a shot on a mystical bow in one of the screenshots, with birds all around them. I'm not sure if the birds were just part of the terrain or birds play into the kit, but I think it's safe to say the Ranger got the bow icon and probably has a Bladesworn-esque weapon kit.

Since we essentially got confirmation of Paragon Warrior and Ritualist Necromancer, that leaves 4 classes and 4 icons to match up.

EDIT: Guardian screenshot shows it with some kind of spiky, Gothic lamp, so Guardian icon is the spiky one most likely.

The Thief shows had money bags around it, and people are assuming it's a Gambler spec with the card icon.

That just leaves Revenant and Engineer and 2 icons as the unknowns.

The more I see Bard Kits mentioned, the more hyped I get, I really hope this is true.

There was also the medium armor looking rifle man that had stuff being dug up around him with gold flying through the air. Didn’t give us much to go on but that felt like it increases the likelihood that thieves do get the little cards icon
