Silly: Hybrid Name Suggestions for Mirror Classes

Discussion

Here are my terrible (terrible) suggestions for hybrid names for mirror classes:

(You know, for ease of discussion.)

Base Classes
  • Consitor (better than "Iquisular".)
  • Wright (better than "Knirrior", I think.)
  • Booper (more fun than "Trunter".)
  • Smuggent (no real alternative, here.)
Sub-classes
  • Sagerer / Shadassin
  • Juggian / Marautinel
  • Mercando / Vantech
  • Gunsniper / Operdrel

At this point, I'm sure you've already come up with some alternatives, which you would prefer, yourself. That's fine. That's what reddit comments are for.

But I think I'll stop here, without going into all 24 disciplines (8 sub-classes * 3 disciplines), at least until we reach consensus on the above.

(Or even deeper still, hybrid ability names like "Telelightning" or "Ravage Dance". Again, these should wait until we reach agreement on the above.)

If we can agree on a set of hybrid names, just think how much easier discussing mechanics will be!

Anyway, I look forward to seeing your corrections and suggestions, here.

(And just in case it wasn't obvious from my title: I'm not being serious here. So, don't take this too seriously, yourself.)

Also, Ravage/Blade dance would definately be Rave Dance. The animation would involve glow sticks.

Well, I'd agree that "Rave Dance" is more appropriate for Marautinels (the glowstick champs).

But for Juggians, I'd counter that "Bladage" is a better fit.

How did he react?

Also would you fight one horse-sized duck or a hundred duck-sized horses?

Thanks for the AMA, big fan!

Haha she seemed pretty flustered. But she managed to pop Zen and it all worked out all right. It also was absolute perfect timing: during a career day when the local McDonalds manager was talking.
A horse size duck. I like horses and wouldn't like beating up on little ones. Ducks are assholes, I got bitten by a duck once. So there's a score to settle there. And I have a fan! Yay!

Booper and Smuggent absolutely slayed me.

I think Assadow is better than Shadassin :).

'Snipinger' and 'Scoperative' are often used between me and my partner, and we also like 'shadowsin'.

I was about to make a joke about how "Gunsniper" sounds like something out of an anime, but I decided to Google it first... and it really is!

  • Sorcage / Assadow

  • Guardianaut / Sentuder

  • Comanary / Powerguard

  • Sninger / Scoundrelative

Shadassin and Operdrel

Yes.

It's doubly funny if you're polish (or maybe from another slavic country too) since "Opierdol" is a polish curse word for getting heavily yelled at.

Czech here.

And I have to admit that first seeing Operdrel I read it as our word for ass.

Edit: Ok, it's not changing in time. Each time I look at it that is the first thing I see.

2
gaalia•

Hm, I would agree on the classes. I think you've got some of the subclasses wrong though. powerguard is clearly superior to vantech. and I'd go with mercmando, myself.

Other than that I'd go with ghouldrool's suggestions. And probably SorSage, as well.

ok fine, I'd advocate for Guardinaut too.

2
warframeworkOP•

This is why we can't have nice things!

( Also, "powerguard" sounds too much like a surge protector...which, in fact, it happens to be! )

2
gaalia•

well, that's kinda the point, isn't it?

2
warframeworkOP•

Counterpoint: The D5-Mantis and BT-7 Thunderclap are vans. (And so is the Gravestone.)

So, I think we'll just have to disagree here.

I do think your "Sorsage" is a substantial improvement over my original suggestion, though.

This is awesome. Booper and and Operdrel has me giggling.

love it. :) Gunsniper is sort of boring even cause it sounds like something normal almost. Sniplinger?

The alternative to "Smuggent" is "Aggler"

1
warframeworkOP•

Counterpoints:

  • "Aggler" might confuse fishermen.
  • Agent and Smuggler are both pretty smug.
3
brainfreeze91The Shadowlands•

It didn't even dawn on me that you can read Smuggent as "Smug Gent". Which fits very nicely.

How come you went with Vantech over Powerguard? Is it because there are already powerguards in the game?

Vantech sounds like a guy that installs stereos in vehicles.

1
warframeworkOP•

I think you're taking this too seriously...

But playing along, Vantech is shorter, and doesn't sound like a brand-name for a surge protector, or a sports position. (Though I recognize that those last 2 could be seen as pros, rather than cons, depending on your outlook.)
