>>Arcane does equal warrior mage elemental magic.<<
You're taking a leap that Arcane sigils are Arcane magic... or just the sigils themselves are Arcane. I've never seen Arcane == Elemental in DR terminology. But whatever... I just think if they're gonna steal titles... just steal 'em. If Harbinger doesn't fit your guild... how does Arcane Harbinger. If bully doesn't fit your guild, how does an Arcane bully fit. If you want to be a bully, just get the bully title. I have no personal problem with titles being shared... but... cheap knock offs are kinda lame.
But whatever.. my guild doesn't have titles, so I'll just shut up. I don't have say.

<<Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.>>
Well said. Honestly, don't have a problem with Warrior Mages getting titles that are similar to Barbarians, because well, they're titles. It's just for fun and hopefully some of the WM players are having a good time with their characters and their titles.
<<Speaking of War Stomper, who can tell me how many levels of War Stomp there are?>>
You must specify an intensity for your War Stomp.
STOMP: Light | Heavy | Enormous
As for titles, can you make titles based on how much charisma you have. Made a list a while back that is more detailed. Anywho, 60+ charisma as a Barbarian = Apocalypse.
Just give me that title and I promise to never make fun of another mage.
50+ charisma as a Barbarian = Death Incarnate
40+ charisma as a Barbarian = Destroyer

Personally, if I were a war mage I'd be pissed that the people that were in charge of coming up with titles for my guild for some reason suffered from such a severe lack of imagination that given the chance to come up with new titles opted out for the easier choice of grabbing willy-nilly from titles already out, adding the word Arcane to the begining of it, and calling it a job done.

Anything is possible in this game. I'm not doubting that at all. But, there was only one mention of war stomp. There was never any mention ever given by a GM of multiple variations/levels of war stomp. The only possible mention of anything besides what is shown by war stomp was when Jaedren had said there was an easter egg not found. Are you referring to something like that Iayn? Or is this a new aspect of war stomp with there being multiple affects of war stomp live in the game for those who have that ability.
Also, could we move this discussion to the war stomp folder? Just useful for myself and possibly others when researching past posts.

I dont have a problem that the ideas were suggested and I dont really fault the GM's for suggesting the titles. Even Valcer has a decent suggestion on occasion. There is only one person to blame when poor decisions are implemented. What I want to know is if the trend will continue and how far will it go? Where do we draw the line? What is the point of having a diverse and distinctive title system if all the titles start to blend into each other? If that happens I would rather they scrap the entire system and go back to guild only titles.

Regarding the titles that were implemented for Warrior Mages recently, there are a lot of different perspectives on how I've been looking at them. To an older playing player like myself, I don't mind them because I see it as something that WM players can possibly enjoy. However, I do see the new titles given to WMs reflecting what Barbarian titles have as, well.. to put it bluntly, very lame.
That's not really my point, because it isn't just about my opinion of how I think the WM titles copying what Barbarian titles have and tacking the word "Arcane" in front of it and thinking that is all well and good. It is the opinion of the collective group of what should be done. Don't think of it as just what your thoughts are based on only your character because titles affect everyone in the guild. Should titles have some sort of semblance of individuality while still retaining the meaning of the guild? I believe so.
Think of it this way. When you just started playing Dragonrealms and you joined X, Y or Z guild. You were excited to play and you were motivated to have fun and learn new things about the game. One thing newbie players tend to look at first is titles (personally, I know this was the case for me). I saw the blood dancer or war chief title and thought - wow, that looks sweet. I can't wait to get that! It sounded like the route I wanted to take for my Barbarian in terms of role playing him and it helped inspire me to continue playing. Exactly how would a new player enjoy a Warlord title, when you can be an Arcane Warlord, as an example. When it comes down to it, the players who play this game can be pretty creative and I'm sure they can think of something more akin to the WM guild, while still retaining their individuality that they are WMs.
