The ritualist is something else entirely. Using this character class will allow the player to summon up a magical spirit to take out the bad guys. Both new classes get the choice of 75 extra powers or "skills" that like the original game can be used eight at a time. If you prefer to create new characters from the six previous Guild Wars character classes you are in luck; for in Guild Wars Factions you now have 100 skills to choose from. Altogether the folks at ArenaNet are adding a whopping 300 new skills to the mix for the new game.
And a snip from Prodigious Gaming's article:
The Factions campaign itself is set on an Asian-styled continent called Cantha, and (as the title implies) the story revolves around a conflict between two warring factions, the Luxon and the Kurzick. Player guilds can form alliances to side with one of these two factions, and then engage in alliance battles, the result of which will give the victorious alliance control over towns and unlock elite-level cooperative quests.
