So vetex proposed class name and that was, a rough moment to put kindly. Though with class color changes being public now and I imagine vetex still wants to change the names for lore sake I thought bringing them back up again after the tension is hopefully down. I’m curious what everyone thinks the names could be while throwing my own hat in.
Oracle
Summary
The first actual name change and one that seemingly went very well and shows changing them to a good name receives better response.
Mage
Summary
Ah who am I kidding it’s perfect in every way
Warrior
Summary
Honestly I got no strong ideas for this one beside like maybe fighter? Swordsman? Though I don’t feel strongly for either
Berserker
Summary
Brawler, it just sounds better and represents the class better, though martial artist works too.
Conjuror
Summary
Spell Blade or arcane blade
You may notice a theme with a lot of hybrids
Warlock
Summary
Spell fist, arcane fist, or arcane brawler
Knight
Summary
Spirit blade
Juggernaut
Summary
Spirit fist of spirit brawler
Savant, Warlord, and Paladin
Summary
Honestly I got nothing for these guys. Vetex seems to like savant but I dunno doesn’t sound as cool as the others really.
The ones you suggested are, in the kindest way I can say this, not much better. Stuff like “arcane blade” or “spell blade” are too specific, same with “swordsman”
We obviously have a lot more variety in terms of weapon other than swords.
Not to mention that this is also a repeating issue, it just doesn’t make sense for the entire class to be oriented around blades, not every weapon has a blade after all.
paladin > cleric (clerics existed in the past)
knight > paladin (makes sense as far as d&d goes, and paladins did exist in the past)
juggernaut > monk (monks in media are sometimes portrayed as holy/spiritual fist fighters, definitely fits the bill)
conjurer > artificer (again, makes sense with d&d, fusing weapons with magic, though this is the one with the least irl comparison)
the pures should stay the same, besides maybe changing berserker to brawler
Conjurer:
I don’t think it’s a problem of the name, but of the way it’s applied.
What if after you awaken as a conjurer, the weapon you equip are not shown on your character/made invisible when you imbue them with something?
So when you equip/select them, the imbuement will make their shape visible and it’ll seem like you conjured them.
