Profession Combo Names (e.g. W/Mo="Paladin")

For a while, people have been referring to Warrior/Monks as "Paladin"s. This gave me the idea of making names for all of the profession combos. Here they are, sorted by primary profession:

Elementalist:
+ Mesmer = "Magician"
+ Monk = "Sage"
+ Necromancer = "Sorcerer"
+ Ranger = "Hermit"
+ Warrior = "Wizard"

Mesmer:
+ Elementalist = "Conjurer"
+ Monk = "Advisor"
+ Necromancer = "Charlatan"
+ Ranger = "Troubadour"
+ Warrior = "Strategist"

Monk:
+ Elementalist = "Elder"
+ Mesmer = "Priest"
+ Necromancer = "Mortician"
+ Ranger = "Herbalist"
+ Warrior = "Crusader"

Necromancer:
+ Elementalist = "Defiler"
+ Mesmer = "Seducer"
+ Monk = "Gravekeeper"
+ Ranger = "Predator"
+ Warrior = "Reaper"

Ranger:
+ Elementalist = "Druid"
+ Mesmer = "Bard"
+ Monk = "Dunedan" (like Aragorn in the first part of LOTR)
+ Necromancer = "Trapper"
+ Warrior = "Guerrilla"

Warrior:
+ Elementalist = "Shock Trooper"
+ Mesmer = "Commander"
+ Monk = "Paladin"
+ Necromancer = "Shadow Knight"
+ Ranger = "Rogue"

Quite a few of your names are incorrect. If you go to create a PVP only character it will give you a bunch of preset character options in which it has names. For example...Mo/E is 'Divine Healer' rather than 'Elder' as you have stated.

Your post is no doubt creative...I am just trying to help inform you. :P)

I was just giving alternative names that could be used for builds. And future ones maybe. I dont quite check the PvP stuff.

Warrior/Monk that uses only war hammers should be considered a cleric

Ranger/Elem should remain Ranger. It follows the ideals of a Dungeons and Dragons Ranger rather well.

Dunedain is a people, not a class. They were human in most aspect but had a longer lifespan. A sort of "pure" human.

Warrior/Monk should be Cleric.

Why is Mesmer/Elementalist a conjuror? What do they conjure?

Devs, if you implement this, the idea was originally posted by me, not him.

Does it matter who comes up with the idea, as long as the devs decide to put it in the game?

(And besides, I like the other guy's ideas better). :P

Posts like this have been around since about last august on other forums... I hope it never happens, it'll just encourage sterotyped play.

What does it matter who came up with it? I had not seen your post when I made this list. Aren't we all trying to work together to make the game more enjoyable? Or are you just looking for glory?

Have to agree with Aidan here... What exactly is the point in rushing in and claiming credit for yourself? It's a game, you're not going to get your name mentioned anyway.

W/Mo

Ranger:
+ Warrior = "Guerrilla"

Warrior:
+ Ranger = "Rogue"

I think those two should be switched around.

I don't think "Trapper" is a good generic name for R/N, as it refers to a specific set of skills that may or may not be used. Here's some R/N titles I've been thinking of:

"Tracker" = Expertise, Beastmastery, Blood Magic (my current character)
"Trapper" = Wilderness Survival, Death Magic
"Bonemaster" = Beastmastery, Death Magic
"Hunter" = Marksmanship, Blood Magic

For a generic R/N title, how about "Stalker" or "Nightstalker"

Some names that I'm afraid no one with a command of the English language would want: Hermit, Charlatan, Mortician and Herbalist.

Also, "Shock Trooper" and "Guerilla" are modern terms that are somewhat out of place for the setting. How about:

Warrior/Elementalist = Knight
Warrior/Ranger = Raider

Some other ideas:

Monk/Necromancer = Sacrificer
Necromancer/Monk = Thanatologist
Monk/Mesmer = Prophet
Mesmer/Monk = Channeler
Ranger/Monk = Shaman
Monk/Ranger = Druid
Elementalist/Ranger = Stormcaller
Elementalist/Warrior = Battlemage
Necromancer/Mesmer = Dominator / Dominatrix (latter might not fly with the sexual associations)

I really do like and support this idea, would better then seeing nothing but "E/Mo Lvl12" or whatever over someone's heal... a simple "Warrior Monk Lvl12" would look much better.
