Dervish

The Dervish will be a profession available in the upcoming chapter, Guild Wars Nightfall. So far the class has been described as "a scythe-wielding holy warrior". Little more is known currently.

For more on the origin of the word Dervish, see the Wikipedia article Dervish.

Attributes
According to preview reports, the profession will be a melee character with more in common with a Warrior (W/Mo to be precise) than an Assassin. The Dervish will use scythe-type weaponry and also have some healing and protection abilities.

The Dervish will also have the ability to transform into 'the physical embodiment of a god' temporarily. Whether this refers to the five gods of Tyria is unknown at this time, though it seems likely.

The Dervish armour will consist of robes, which include bracers for the hands and hoods which symbolize their humility to the gods.
