Reaper. Oh, I get it: they have the new focus on melee and scythe abilities.
Of course the name had to have something to do with the whole “death” and “grim reaper” theme. I was expecting a much more high concept name than taking the easy way out like Chronomancer did. Oh, you’re a Chronomancer? Let me guess, it gives you new time-based abilities. Way too simplistic.
That’s why I suggest the Reaper specialization be renamed to the Shoutyeller. I feel that the name “Shoutyeller” is much more high concept in regards to the theme of the new specialization. I went with this name because I felt it was evocative of the 1957 Disney Classic, Old Yeller.
Necromancers embody the very essence of death. Just as death is inevitable for the Necromancer’s enemies, so too was it for the rabies infected Old Yeller. The origin of the Shoutyeller is a more subtle nuanced version of this. Necromancers aim to deliver a chilling death to their enemies, and the Shoutyeller faction believes yelling at them is the way to accomplish this. I understand this is a bit more high concept than the name Reaper, but I feel like Shoutyeller conveys a much more mature theme, like the Dragonhunter.
