[Contest] Guess the remaining Ascendancy Class names

Scion: Prodigy/Heir- encompasses a limited version of every other ascendancy class.

Marauder: Ancestor- probably going to be based on fire and totems, but I'm hoping it's some sort of strength summoner with beasts.

Oh, Prodigy. That's a good name. Too bad I didn't think of that. Wouldn't be surprised if that's it.

For the scion I'm going to guess tree-master, because the devs said she is all about that tree mastery.

I'm surprised that you choose Tree-master rather than Tree-mistress if you want to use the stated tree mastery aspect as the root of her class' title. Or perhaps Dryad.

It is, we have 5 prodigies so far, 2 avatars, ascendants, oracles, dilettantes and queens. The rest are unique, like utopia, heir, doppelganger or chosen.

I'm guessing I got a point for Occultist name, but I'm curious who had a skill-set guess closer than mine?

Witch
Occultist - Chance to echo a spell (except movement skills), power charge generation
Soothsayer - Extra curse, increased effect of curses, increased cast speed

Sure

Coal48
Occultist - mana, spell life/mana leech

Fauxite
Occultist: Support, Curses, Chaos/DoT, Mana, ES

Pyromancer4
Occultist : Focus on support, auras and curses. Mana regen and lots of utility in the mix. One of the end node gives +1 curse

Fauxite had the most guesses, he's right on account of curses, chaos and ES, there's no mana management on occultist and I would call it a generalist sooner than a support class like guardian or champion are, his list is a bit vague so his answers are worth 1 each and his total grade is 3.

Pyromancer got +1 curse and the aura part (kind of, because it has an aura of its own and the minor node before that looks like an aura node, we'll need to check), additional curse is worth 2 because it's an exact guess, aura gets him another 1 so he gets a 3 too.

You got power charge generation right so that's a 2, I can't accept descriptions from another class, that's unfair to latecomers because they haven't guessed the other class in some cases and are already handicapped enough.

Coal 48 missed just about everything, so that's a zero.

I might include another way to determine the winner that is more objective, the player whose guesses were the most unique (least shared by others) gets an advantage, that would be a reward for the risk. You could just count the popular entries, pick the top ones and trust the statistics, it was easy to pick Rogue for shadow as that was a really popular so the guy that got Trickster right deserves a reward.

Thanks for the reply! Great to see the thought behind it, and I support your decision!

Ha, i actually got one :), totally forgot i entered this thread had to find my post when i noticed that 1# next to my name :D

Good stuff.

Peace,
