The space between “Dare” and “devil” would make me cringe though.

That’s how it should be.

I’m kind of okay with the name though. I didn’t mind Dragonhunter either but that shoulda been Dragonslayer instead.

Putting a space between Dare and Devil prevents Marvel Studios/Disney sending a cease and desist to NCsoft/Arenanet.

I think it’s a common enough term that they can’t really claim it wholly.

Marvel/Disney cannot own a common adjective, which is what daredevil is, describing a profession, not a name of a profession.

You know, instead of doing such a bull -peep and coming up again with such onsensical high concept like names, that in this case again would make only again more or less sense, when it would be written at least in proper English, it could be simply all circumvented by giving the Eliter Specialization a much better fitting name, that suits to an martial artistical Staff Wielder that recklessly attacks foes, waitign for their attacks of a foe to surprise the foe with precise blocks and parries to counterattack them then and turning the force of the enemy against themself out of a sudden.

You know, even such terms like:

  • Ascetic
  • Brawler
  • Fighter
  • Rogue
  • Skirmisher
  • Bandit
  • Monk

would have been much better fitting terms in regard of how the design would be in the end, if just subtle martial arts, then a more roguish design would fitt better, if full martial arts, then a more monkish design woudl fit better

But Dare Devil? it makes me practically as much puke and cringe, as when I read the word Dragonhunter, that is no class, but just a simple title that everyone has, same as like Dare Devil…everyone can be reckless like one and the jerman counterpart is same as silly, as like the German word for Revenant…

I seriously just hope, that some classes see before the final release some name changes…. never seen before in a game so many bad names that are somewhat worse chosen, immersion breaking and incongruent with the rest of a class design, seriously.

Where everything began good with the Chronomancer, everythign after that went down the gutter in regard of fittign names to gameplay design decisions.
Only except to that is the Reaper, because here it fits and suits to the whole gameplay design, because the Reaper is here clearly a decision, thats based on the games LORE, that exists based the 7 Reapers of Grenth practically.

So theres nothing idiotic high concepted about it, thats a name, like Chronomancer, which has hand and feet.

If Anet wants to make some kind of reckless alternative version of the thief, I hope they rename it to Skirmisher, that would be a term, that is unique, has alt more style than Daredevil, anet hasnt to be feared of any stupid copyright crap about a stupid movie and what not all and its a term, that would be concruent for a martial artistical reckless combatant that wields a staff to counterattack with it in melee combat recklessly ferociously incoming attacks, to counterattack them with the force of the enemy attack or even stronger than the original back to their source, giving the Thief something, that this class is direly missing, a on defense build up DPS gameplay, that allows the thief to play alot more control and beign at the same time not so extremely reliant anymore on Stealth, but using instead Blocks and defensive boons like Stability, Resistance and Protection to survive better in melee combat and that way becoming finalyl also better in regard of SPvp for holding places, so that an on the Elite-Spec changed Thief actually becomes alot better for holding places, where the current thief sucks totally at this job, because the class simply lacks in the defense part massively and has not enough options to be able to go against CC’s effectively, cause the only stability we have comes from a more are less useless nerfed Elite Skill, that is for its AoE style of damaging way too unprecise, deals crappy damage against enemies, cause its damage dealign is way too slow and is since the stability nerf way too weak and easily completely interratable by a single stupid skil lthat just needs to remove your stability to interrupt your elite instantly….making this skill basically a total wrothless jok,e that lost absolutely all its value to be called an Elite Skill >_> But thats an other topic

Personally I like the idea behind sub classes ~ quoted from Chris Whiteside

Can I point out that our core specialisations are Shadow Arts, Critical Strikes, Acrobatics, Deadly Arts and Trickery. None of which are a title like many of us seem to be treating Daredevil as. The name of the trait lines (or specialisations as they’ve come to be known) were supposed to be descriptors of the groups of traits, Engineer has Tools as a trait line, does taking that trait line make the player a Tool? Yes, but it’s the exception.

  • Druid
  • Reaper
  • Chronomancer
  • Dragonhunter
  • Tempest*
  • Herald
  • Berserker

all – with the possibly exception of tempest – are titles. it’s not about other specs.

Well I’m going to claim that in the user interface it won’t be denominated under such nomenclature once this junk eventually goes live with the expansion pack and it is for now to better group and refer to the new content.

Breaking naming conventions is a heinous crime as game developers.
