Guild Wars 2

I think it would be a much better Design Decision to rename the Revenant to Herald and give the Elite Specialization a different name…

The whole Design around the Main Profession suits much better to the term of being a Herald – one who appears as an ambassador of the mists to be the connection between the Mists and Tyria and thus it explains it by itself, why they can speak with fallen Heroes and Villains from the past, whose Spirits reside in the Mists.

In regard of renaming the Revenant to Herald, I would give the Elite Specialization then rather the name of either:

• Prophet
• Visionary
• Augur
• Soothsayer

What do you think ?

I absolutely believe it would be a much better decision to call the Revenant Herald and give the Elite Specialization then one of these 4 alternative Names.

Would fit imo the whole concept and designed of the complete class and its specialization much better.

But… I like the Revenant’s name xD

Yeah, they’re not gonna change the Revenant’s name. Besides, Revenant is actually kinda nice.

How does Revenant not fit?

Revenant definition

“A revenant is a visible ghost or animated corpse that was believed to return from the grave to terrorize the living.¹ The word “revenant” is derived from the Latin word, reveniens, “returning” (see also the related French verb “revenir”, meaning “to come back”)."

Revenant return from the mists with the powers of the dead.

It fits better than Herald imo.

It’s perfect as it is.

Revenant sounds much better.

I am content with the way it is.

Edit: Far better than Dragon Hunter…..

No, ty. Revenant is the one who came back from the mist. Makes more sense.

Herald is a great name, feels like herald of Glint.
