GuildWiki:Role guide project

Overview
'''Note: This list is a work in progress primarily designed to give users a sense of the implementation as well as to get a general sense for the policy. Feel free to propose new archetypes on the discussion page.'''

The purpose of this project is to get a general sense of what the common archetypes are. This does NOT preclude someone from making a guide about a different role, it is merely a starting point that will hopefully get expanded.

Here is(/will be) a list of all the roles we can think of for each profession. The goals of this list are:
 * to see how balanced the list is (which may not matter)
 * to work out how to define what is a role and what is a build variant
 * to figure out just how many roles we're talking about (5 is a lot different than 15, if they're all listed in one page)
