Hello, German Loc team speaking here. Thank you for all your feedback on the translation for “scourge”. This is how we came up with the names for the specializations: Once the names were final in English, we put up a vote on our alpha forum and accepted suggestions. We checked if the finalists were already used in another context in the game and if they had a male and female version due to titles. This was one of the reasons, we did not decide for “Geißel”.
If you find other things in German you want to tell us about, please check out the forum Übersetzung / Lokalisierung.
