Profession Master title

I've been trying to think up a new title set that will give PvE players the chance to max the KoBD title track for 30 titles as currently there are only 26 (27 if a newish character) available that don't involve PvP or weeks of boring farming to fund the money based ones, so I thought of Profession Master with one for each of the 3 main campaigns plus Legendary for all three - something like Legendary Ranger or Legendary Mesmer etc.

The idea would be that you have to find and kill every boss in each campaign of the same profession as your characters primary profession so a ranger would need to kill all the ranger bosses, mesmer all the mesmer ones etc - this differs from skill hunter as with that you can pick bosses from a few choices in some cases so avoiding hard to find/get to bosses - with this you couldn't as you'd need to find them all. It would also add a bit of variety with titles for different characters.

The only problems I can see for this is the lack of none core profession bosses in the first 2 campaigns and the ease of getting the title while playing through from the start - not quite sure of a solution to the first problem short of adding new bosses, but for the 2nd it could be a title only unlocked after skill hunter in that campaign has been maxed so that previous killings of each boss don't count

Any thoughts/suggestions?

sounds way too easy...even if it was forced for hm only

besides, we already have to kill them for vanquishing...

so basically, we'd get 4+4free titles for doing vanquisher

Not necessarily as you'd have to have maxed skill hunter first plus not every boss is in a vanquishable area - some only appear in missions or are in areas like the torment realm. You can already get 4+4 for vanquishing as it makes cartography easier anyway.

You only need 20 titles to fill your HoM. No one is forcing you to get 30 maxed and they want there to be a challenge or else everyone would be a god.

i forgot bout cartographer...

then it'd be 4+4+4 for vanquishing (+cartography + this one)

most bosses would've been killed during mishes thru normal play to even unlock hm...
so mishy bosses wouldnt add a whole lot of extra time
(plus if ur doin protector/guardian...its free again)

this title doesnt work all that great,
because ur gettin it for free for already doin one of the other titles

You were on the right track, I think, of doing a title that involved something with all professions, but you took it in the wrong direction after that.

There is already a title that covers what the OP is describing, it's called Legendary Skill Hunter. OP's suggestion is just an easier way to get a free title for something that Legendary Skill Hunter already covers. Actually as already pointed out, Legendary Vanquisher title already covers this as well.

If you were going to do this have it be that you need to complete missions and bonuses for every campaign on each of your characters, and have a character of each class or something.

but anyway, i'm really /notsigned because i hate titles.

You want 30 titles but don't care to grind for them or the money needed for them? No, now go Vanquish and Skill cap...

as much as i like titles, this idea is flawed every way i look at it.

1. unlockable only after skill hunter in respective campaign? ......so we have to spend money to cap the skills anyway...how is this not a money grind title then? well, using cap sigs OR buying those tomes....that go for upwards of 10x the original amount of a cap sig...

2. the creation of more bosses would require more time from the developers spent here (gw1) than being spent right now to make gw2...honestly i'd rather see time spent on gw2 than building up another title trilogy here

3. yes, easy for dervs/paras. the rest of us core profession players? ....yup.

4. not signed by me.

becoming a god in my opinion should not be easy or just handed to us by killing a few monsters. we already got the reputation titles and that was tiresome enough doing those...and to be completely honest it is not hard to make money in the game to buy sweets, party items, and/or alcohol :P (or farming what it takes to exchange things or when stuff drops during wintersday and other holidays HINT HINT) we got about a year left, there are plenty of titles to get as is. it would actually be cool if you got something like grandmaster treasure hunter or lucky/unlucky max---those are huge impressions on players coming up in chat while sitting in town--very rare too :P just research how to do it and start working towards your goal like the rest of us did :/

how about a title for doing quests. So very logical yet not implemented

Its a VERY good idea imo,

However the way you envision is a much easier/regurgitated form of skill capping. But yes, Legendary Dervish would look awesome ^^

Id suggest using quests for this, and that way you can only get the "Legendary <insert profession>" of the profession you're using

Probably one of the better ideas in terms of titles.

Yup, a quest title is probably the most logical title of all, and the idea has been around for about as long as titles have. Yet it has yet to be implemented. So it's looking unlikely.

Just to point that there are monre than enough pve title to get max Kobd at max. So I don't see a point for another title linked to killing monster.

Try something like best GM : will depends on the number of people connected at the same time in your guild...
