Re: [DEV] Proposed Title Changes

I agree the Oracle titles just don't sound right. Use avatar, conjurer, harbinger, summoner, caller, bringer, giver, or any other synonym I can't come up with right now, but please not oracle...
I like the "Dream" and "Devastation" actually, adds some variety to the titles. Tormentor - Torment Oracle - Master of Torment is three times "torment"; boring. I'd prefer something like Tormentor - Sorrow Oracle - Master of Pain. Same story for Life Giver - Life Oracle - Master of Life, it's three times "life". I can't think of any alternatives right now though. And yes, Master of Pain should be offensive affliction in my opinion, Master of Destruction (Avatar of Destruction turned into a master skill) would be more fitting for elemental magic.
I also like the 201 titles like Nankarist, Taluseer, Katoorian etc. I think it's great to have some titles that are specific to the Ryzom universe, rather than all those general titles (swordsman, maceman, pikeman) that could be used in any fantasy setting. But it is true that it wouldn't make sense for a Fyros swordman using a blamus sword to be a "klydist". If the titles are going to be like this, they need to be different depending on race.
Crusher Lord and Executioner don't fit in if every 250 title is "elite" or "master". What's wrong with Crusher Master or Elite Executioner?
Personal dislikes:
- Illusionist sounds more like a performer using magic tricks to entertain a crowd than a magician conjuring illusions to keep ferocious creatures at bay.
- Shooter sounds more like a piece of equipment than a homin.
- Hammerer sounds... well, Sehraci has that one covered. Bludgeoner is better.
I assume any title not on the list is going to remain as it is? How about the Celestial Guardian? As nice as it sounds, in my opinion it's more religious than the priest title.

201 Autolauncher. Take a look at the spreadsheet to see which skills these titles belong too.kibsword wrote:Whats Raylerist?
