Mini Little is cute, but it isn’t really a /name/. I’ve never liked names that weren’t names; could you imagine calling “Mini Little” to dinner? 4/10, just because of that bias.

My Asuran ranger is named Methionine, which is a giant biology pun.
He only uses bird pets, and his main bird is named Augur.
An augur is a type of priest who uses birds to predict the will of god.
AUGur, AUG is the mRNA codon responsible for creating the amino acid methionine.
Methionine also kind of sounds like a name, so while it doesn’t follow Asuran naming standards, I couldn’t resist.

Is this really a conversation we’re having?

The whole combat system was based around constant movement and evasion, it really is for the best that everyone has this same basic skill, with the same visual indicators across the board. Honestly, the traiting is enough to make it interesting (Hurrah for Mesmer clone role!). I’m almost positive that Anet put more thought into this than any of us, and there are already some other class evasions for people who wants a little more dodge in their life.
