Gamecloud - What other important new content and features will be put into Factions? Jeff Strain - Factions introduces more than 300 new skills into the Guild Wars universe, bringing the total to more than 750. Of those new skills, 150 are for the new Ritualist and Assassin, who receive a full complement of 75 each. The remaining 150 skills were designed for the six 'core' professions of Guild Wars, bringing the total number of skills for those professions to 100. These new skills will introduce new play mechanics into both the roleplaying and PvP areas of the game. In addition, we will be introducing 4 new guild halls, each offering a new guild-versus-guild (GvG) play experience.
