And the other 8?
Not really trying to match to the actual class, just trying to find out if any of the TQ names are correct or not. Then weâll know whether to guess them for class names or not. If some are then can work our way through them; if not then we can just eleminate them from our guesses.
Between my latest guesswork and the previous graphic, I think we can somewhat safely say Slayer is in there. Although Iâll not be surprised to learn at this rate that itâs +Demolitionist.
The other main possibility I see is that my latest guess had Thane correct (not necessarily the correct dyad, though), and the graphic had Evoker correct. I do not pretend to know which in my original guess was the third (and probably the correct dyad).
EDIT: So next round of MastermindâŚ
+Soldier: Juggernaut (âŚwhat?)
+Demolitionist: Chaosbringer (blame Trials of Mana)
+Occultist: Evoker (conjurable spirits like in the Ars Goetia are sometimes referred to as being evoked. Seeing how the Conjuror is part-Occultist, and the Berserker has some chaos capacity to begin withâŚ)
+Nightblade: Reaver
+Arcanist: Seer
+Shaman: Thane (as a nod to what the Thane in TQ was?)
+Inquisitor: Custodian
+Necromancer: Blood Knight (look, if we can have a Death KnightâŚ)
+Oathkeeper: Zealot (confirmed)
One of these is correct!
Two effectively isolated, and I might as well clarify one right nowâŚ
{drum roll}
Berserker + Nightblade = Reaver. Not correct at all, half-correct, or fully correct?
Berserker + Shaman = Rioter
+Soldier: Marauder
+Demolitionist: Hellion
+Occultist: Witcher (xD)
+Nightblade: Slayer
+Arcanist: Invoker
+Shaman: Beast Master
+Inquisitor: Guardian
+Oathkeeper: Zealot
+Necromancer: Reaver
+Soldier: Brutalizer
+Demolitionist: Agent of Destruction
+Occultist: Scion of Perpetual Void
+Nightblade: Soul Killer
+Arcanist: Planeswalker
+Shaman: Feral Brawler
+Inquisitor: Fanatical Exterminator
+Oathkeeper: Revenger
+Necromancer: Lord of Decay
And the rest?
None (except Oathkeeper) are correct.
Nope.
Hm, if Oathkeeper/Berserker is Zealot then Iâm going to guess that oul of
Itâs Shaman/Berserker as Thane thatâs correct. Might be Soldier/Berserker being Juggernaut, but that doesnât feel right to me.
except Oathkeeper
âŚâAnd the restâ? I was working with your directly telling Medeea that Berserker + Soldier = Slayer is not correct.
Still, with Moldy basically being refuted in full, it seems ânot correct at allâ is it. No to Reaver, effectively yes to Thane.
{cracks knuckles} New Mastermind round:
+Soldier: Pillager
+Demolitionist: Stormcaller (heat + cold = âŚ)
+Occultist: Desecrator
+Nightblade: Executioner
+Arcanist: Prophet
+Shaman: Thane
+Inquisitor: Harbinger
+Necromancer: Valkyrie (I donât think itâs actually a feminine noun? It just means âchooser of the slainââŚ)
Spinning the wheel again.
+Soldier: Gladiator
+Demolitionist: Siegebreaker
+Occultist: Harbinger
+Nightblade: Vanquisher (nod to Farthest Frontier)
+Arcanist: Archivist
+Shaman: Thane
+Inquisitor: Preserver
+Oathkeeper: Zealot
+Necromancer: Desecrator
Wonder if âStrugglerâ would be one as a nod to Berserk.
âŚâAnd the restâ? I was working with your directly telling Medeea that Berserker + Soldier = Slayer is not correct.
This is all in good fun, but Iâll be sticking to confirming or denying full sets of earnest guesses rather than individual ones or this is going to get out of control.
+Soldier: Pillager
+Demolitionist: Stormcaller (heat + cold = âŚ)
+Occultist: Desecrator
+Nightblade: Executioner
+Arcanist: Prophet
+Shaman: Thane
+Inquisitor: Harbinger
+Necromancer: Valkyrie (I donât think itâs actually a feminine noun? It just means âchooser of the slainââŚ)
These are not correct.
+Soldier: Gladiator
+Demolitionist: Siegebreaker
+Occultist: Harbinger
+Nightblade: Vanquisher (nod to Farthest Frontier)
+Arcanist: Archivist
+Shaman: Thane
+Inquisitor: Preserver
+Necromancer: Desecrator
These are not correct.
What might help rule out some guesses is that we generally avoid using terms already used across the game, unless they are thematically fitting. For example, Dreadblade was once in the running, but was later rewritten because itâs already used on a couple items and those were either not fitting for Berserker or did not have room to add it.
There goes Thane.
+Soldier: Barbarian
+Demolitionist: Dragoon
+Occultist: Pagan
+Nightblade: Bloodletter - Rare Prefix seems to fit
+Arcanist: Vanquisher - might go with the vanquisher set if its updated to support Berserker
+Shaman: Wilding
+Inquisitor: Custodian
+Oathkeeper: Zealot
+Necromancer: Blood Knight
+Soldier: Juggernaut
+Demolitionist: Alchemist
+Occultist: Theurgist
+Nightblade: Slayer
+Arcanist: Mystic
+Shaman: Wildspeaker
+Inquisitor: Ranger
+Oathkeeper: Zealot
+Necromancer: DreadLord
So with both Reaver and Thane out of commissionâŚ
+Soldier: Warrior (although it does sound a little similarâperhaps needlessly soâto Warlord)
+Demolitionist: Siegemaster (this one may hew more to the Demolitionist side than the Berserker side)
+Occultist: Despoiler
+Nightblade: Slayer
+Arcanist: Disruptor
+Shaman: Evoker (the various Evoker armaments donât seem to disqualify this)
+Inquisitor: Runelord (No Pathfinder jokes, please)
+Necromancer: Soothsayer
This is all in good fun, but Iâll be sticking to confirming or denying full sets of earnest guesses rather than individual ones or this is going to get out of control.
Which is all well and good, but doesnât help us to know which ones out of the group are correct or not. You said on the discord that 3 in the opening post are correct and 1 is spot on, but we still havenât worked those out. If we have to keep guessing the entire group I suspect by the time FoA releases the only one weâll still know for sure is Zealot which has already been confirmed as correct for Oathkeeper/Berserker.
Thereâs probably some math that someone smarter than me could apply on this to figure out the names from the hintsâŚ
Reminds me of this:
But to apply a solving algorithm weâd need access to a willing, honest server to reply for all the guesses. That may prove challenging.
Where we at on the Asterkarn preview packs for research purposes? =p
