Guild Wars 2

I know its really early to judge this specialization, but I really have to speak out about this odd choice for the name of it.

Dragonhunter to me just doesn’t fit with what they are trying to pull off for this profession. Sure you include the Longbow and Traps of all things, but its main point is to be a ranged combat/support. It may be difficult to come up with names I’m sure, but this just doesn’t feel right.

The biggest complaint I’ve seen so far throughout the community is that technically, every player character is in fact a Dragonhunter. We all share that same common goal to take down the Elder Dragons, so having that one specialization that is so specific to that goal just makes it seem like all other specializations seem meaningless. It also feels like the Ranger and Guardian fused together to form this. I would prefer if this Spec was something fresh not something mixed.

I really hope this isn’t the final name for this specialization, I really want it changed before HoT shows up.

As for suggestions of other names, I’d probably call them Sentry, or Sentinel, Warden and even Watchmen. Makes sense since they all keep an eye on this and strike and help their friends from a far.

Probably the one I’d pick is Warden. That at least keeps the ideas of them being this “Hunter” class without the very specific name. Like a game warden, except remove game.

(And I say no to names like Archangel or Seraphim, cause these names are too specific and close to the Human culture in Tyria. We already have Seraphs, so no need for those. Paragon is a favorable choice, but considering the way the gameplay is described it just doesn’t do it justice. I’ll wait for the next Spec to be Paragon for sure in the next expansion)

On that reasoning “Warden” doesn’t work because Wardens are the Sylvari equivalent of the Seraph.

Alright then. Sentry or Watchmen.
