    At least axes are bladed. Think about the poor hammer or fist wr's that have to be called blademasters x:

    Well, 90+ Blademasters will use an Ironheart axe almost regardless of weapon preference. It's a truly awesome and powerful weapon... though, the materials were pretty expensive. Due to the pretty much uselessness of agility for warriors, axes are pretty much the best class. Accuracy is no problem due to LingYun/Behemoth rings, and accuracy pills... and dodge rate doesn't compare to massive defense and HP.

    The only solution to the problem I can think of is doubling the effects agility has on a Blademaster when that person is using a Blade/Fist weapon.

    I'm rather a fan of spear warriors actually. Dragon spear with beserk + long range = ability to ruin robe classes / light armor classes that try to kite you, and the ability to kite axe users D:

    The only name I don't like is Blademaster. This class is supposed to master every kind of melee weapon, from a fist to a spear.

    I really liked the "Venomancer" name, not every WereFox was a FOX.

    Venomancer is the only thing I don't like. It focuses way too much on the poison, and way, way too little on the pets. And the pets are definitely, by far, their most prominant feature.

    Everything else I think I like more, other than Blademaster for the non sword-users.

    I realize that some of you aren't really feeling the new class names. I could go into all the fine details as to why we changed this and why we changed that. However the bottom line is that we really feel that Perfect World International is a fresh version of Perfect World. We wanted to complete that sense by localizing the class names in addition to the game's text.

    I agree totally, new server, new names. It will take time to get use to it. But those finding PWI a few months,a couple of years down the road we will well and truly use to it and so will they. I don't mind being called a cleric in the classes in fact i think im going to enjoy it.

    all the other new names make sense, especially the warrior=blademaster....omg so cool!
    well but i'm just not happy with wf and wb, wat do the new names mean???i don't think they'r any better than the old ones...i don't like them...i can't even remember them! my question is that since we'r so used to the old WF and WB and stuff, r we just gonna keep using it as a short-term or do we have to come up with something new to make it short?????i have a feeling that they'll sound very weird :(

    i find the name 'cleric' very weird, sure it has to do with religion and healing like priest but it seems weird and sounds like clerk... priest somehow fitted the role better because they arent just a pure healing class, they can attack quite well too.

    What does everyone think of class names? Personally, coming from the MY-EN version it'll be weird calling the classes by different names, with the exception of Archers (they must be the special ones :p ).

    Warrior = Blademaster
    Mage = Wizard
    Archer = Archer
    Priest = Cleric
    Werefox = Venomancer
    Werebeast = Barbarian


    WR = BM? but most will use axes not blades (at least till end-game)...
    MG = WZ - fine
    EA = EA - nice
    EP = EC - fine
    WF = VM? - why? jeez that'll take some getting used to
    WB = BB - why? - just wrong

    Actually, BMs use axes forever. If you know the Ironheart axe, you know why.

    Wah T_T I miss bb!

    This is what it would be by race/class initials:

    HB Human Blademaster
    HW Human Wizard
    UB Untamed Barbarian
    UV Untamed Venomancer
    EA Wing Elf Archer
    EC Wing Elf Cleric

    I'll just go with whatever seems to dominate World Chat. ;)

    Right there with ya. Honestly since I'm going to play both MY and INT PWs It's going to be really irritating to have to remember abbreviations for each different version :(

    Lets see...

    BladeMaster: BM
    Wizard: WZ
    Barbarian: BR
    Venomancer: VC
    Archer: AR
    Cleric: CL

    ..............?

    Blademaster is too specific for warriors since they use more than blades. They should be called knights or something.

    Barbarian is too generic for beasts. It doesn't say anything about them being animals nor changing into white tigers. WereBeast was fine.

    Venomancer is just poorly invented. Surely they could have a better name than that. I thought tamer sounded alright. WereFox is good, too.

    I'm okay with most of them...but I think 'Werebeast' is ten times cooler than 'Barbarian'...
    Blademaster is cool. I like that one.

    BUT, I'm happy with anything. Names don't change anything, and I'm sure I'll become accustomed to them. This game looks incredible. Can't wait!

    Agreed, changes take getting used to, especially after countless hours of gameplay on the other servers. Regardless of the name changes, i'm really looking forward to the up and coming CB. :)

    For the huge, and rather silly debate that's about as important as the 3rd weenie (hot dog) in my fridge, I have three words a very wise character once said.
