New Name : Barbarian

There are probably something else worth discussing over the new Undermountain announcement but there's something else that got me curious..

How will you all feel of being re-named to Barbarian? do you dislike it? or do you like it? maybe you don't care?

Personally I'm not a fan since the difference between GWF and GF is that they only use different weapon and both can be argued to be same class : Fighters.

Probably best to just wait and see but what do you guys feel?

    Not a huge fan of "Barbarian." Makes me think of meatheads in furry shorts.

    Used to be Berserker, I think, which to me is a little better. I'd prefer Warrior, but I suppose that's too similar to Fighter.

    Barbarian is D&D canon. Cool name, fits the in-game theme.
    Also, much better then Cryptic's first choice:

    "knuckle-dragging battle grunt".

    No, perfect name, means GWFs are now Barbies.

    It also means that all you Uglyborn Barbies now must use this theme song:

    Damn. Someone got there before me.

    If Barbie is found to be overly offensive toward ex-gwfs, perhaps Brian could also be possible.

    Or, being sensitive to personal pronouns in these confusing times, we could type, "LF1more BarbieBrian, 15k+ exp with scrolls." Though ofc. 'Experienced' could also be misconstrued.
    No idea what my toon is now.

    Only thing that will bug me is the Armor Class and material choices.

    Barbarians don't wear chain/platemail. They wear hardened leather and fur/hide based armor with metal inlay.

    But really it's just a minor detail irk and functionally it doesn't change anything for the game.

    I dont care. If this is the only thing ppl making jokes about, its fine for me.
    Doesnt change the great playstyle and the awesomeness in DPS. No matter what name the GWFs get :p
    We still will be the brave warriors with the biggest "sword"! B)

    GWF's never played like a fighter. They are barbarians right down to the Unstoppable mechanic acting very much like Rage.

    They really never should have been called Fighters. This was a common comment in groups I played in all the way back to Alpha.

    And to those unfamiliar with D&D...
    Best to do some research.

    Barbarians are one of the core classes in D&D. Warriors are not. Berzerkers are not.
    Although Berzerkers were the name of a subclass of Barbarians in 5E they are BARBARIAN Berzerkers.

    showing my age here... but it wasn't D&D to begin with... But more on topic... I could care less what people refer my barbie as... Because I play multiple classes...I play the ones i find fun and challenging... sorry the class is to complex for you to understand.
