Possible class combo names

[furrymongo]

First off let me state my knowledge on the way the devs plan to implement this is limited.

Also, I am making more than a few assumptions regarding the gearknight class as I really have no idea about how it is to be used.
Another assumption is to assume that the primary/secondary split will be 70/30.

These are my suggestions, not all will be winners and please, to all who have more knowledge feel free to amend or suggest alternative.

WOW

Looks like you've really put a lot of thought into this. I particularly like "Bonedancer." Good job!

(Welcome, by the way.)

 

[HJ-Pinnelipe]

Hehe! I like the Chiropractor one..

For some reason, the videos gave me the impression that you couldn't chose the same exact class twice, but maybe you can.

 

[Dyngo]

Fighter/fighter: Soldier
Gearkngt/gearkngt: Mechoid
Healer/healer: Doctor

..and so on

they wont allow the "same class in double", right? Or did I miss something?

interesting list, tho!

 

[Kuzzle]

No, you didn't miss anything. "Single class combos" are not allowed.

 

[Daax]

Fighter/gearkngt: Musketeer
Fighter/wizard: Samurai

I don't understand these two. When I think of a musketeer I don't think of anything gearknight related whatsoever and when I think of samurai I don't think of wizards.

 

[Kuzzle]

The musketeer thing is because they use muskets, AKA tech.

The samurai thing... OK, I don't get that one either. Assistance, aisle three! Assistance, aisle three!

 

[Llillith]

Fighter/wizard = AccidentLookingForAPlaceToHappen

 

[squirrelyb]

Personally, I'd think...

Healer/necro - Witchdoctor (I dunno, it just seemed to fit for me)

Cleric/necro - Hypocrite? Insane? Confused? Definately something quirky needs to be here. I like where you're goin with this.

I had a post on the official forums talking about "marrying" secondary class abilities to primary, in the sense of... perhaps a Warrior/Wizard being able to light his sword on fire. Or maybe a Ranger necro having multiple pets. Meh, probably won't happen, but that'd be cool.

 

[HJ-Pinnelipe]

Satanist.

 

[Dyngo]

Would be really boring to bring in Christian mythology in Elenthia

Totally. Maybe a Cleric/Nerco would be a, like, 'DeathPriest', or something. Possibly a 'Sacrificer'.

 

[HJ-Pinnelipe]

Thegist.

 

[Kuzzle]

Theist.

Not all religions that believe in the existence of a God/Gods even have a 'Satan' figure, let alone one by that name. So he's right. Have fun with that.

 

[HJ-Pinnelipe]

I was really joking. They will be named what they're named.

 

[Gazz]

Yaay Mad Scientist sounds cool, but yeah I didn't get how a Fighter/Wizard became a Samurai either :S

 

[Valendros]

I still think a lot of them will be along the lines of the Gemstone professional titles. I REALLY doubt they'll have one named "Mad Scientist" it's too OOC...

A list of Gemstone professional titles can be found here: http://www.zone9.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=70

I can see a Necro/Cleric being a Doomsayer or Heretic...

Wow, this really wracks the brain. I like it. And kudos to the original poster who managed to come up with names for all of them initially. =D=

 

[furrymongo]

As to Fighter/wizard being samurai, I know its a streach but follow my (warped) logic.
Samurai were known for their skill in combat (ie the heavy fighter lead), but were also know for thier courtly knowledge and their mystical nature. This could be interpreted as to their practice of "enchanting or imbueing" of the sword or the practice of chanting to place protective blessing upon themselves.
And being that I put mage in the secondary, my belief is that being the lesser of the two it would make the spells more of a self-focused nature (ie blessings, buffs, and enchantments).
So there lies my skewed logic... not always the best, but it works for me.

 

[Rysan]

Wow, nice lists- both of you! I could see most of those names fitting in perfectly with the nature of the game.
