Definition of Occultist
1. The study of the supernatural.
2. A belief in occult powers and the possibility of bringing them under human control.

I feel this perfectly fits the character (as far as what we have seen and what they describe in the lore). He is taking advantage of the supernatural- not some sort of element that was present all along in his world. I have to agree, at first the name sounded ugly and I didn't really fall in love with it, but its the best word to describe what they mean, or at least I think its a very accurate word for what they are getting at- there still may be better titles.

Witcher sounds interesting, and I think it could be ok.

An Alchemist is planned for an expansion and there might be a dedicated Summoner, too - so these names have been reserved.

Witcher seems like a perfect classname for Alchemist+Occultist

Perhaps how about Arcanist or Sorcery masteries? Exactly how many masteries will we have in Grim Dawn? Previous TQ/IT we have at 7 so i hope we at least have that amount in GD too.

[yerkyerk]

There'll be 5, as it stands now. Also, read this for more info on masteries.

[archaven]

Thanks yerkyerk.. I'll choose Witchery better than Occultist then.

There is only one true Witcher and his name is Geralt of Rivia.

Coming up with names is a pain in the ass.

Especially without summoning the fearsome plagiarism beast and its legion of lawyers.

Haha, as long as it doesn't result in a lawsuit.

I did have witchblade as the soldier+occultist name though.

I'm aiming for 5 masteries to begin with for the full release. Alpha may only release with 3-4 depending on how quickly I make progress vs. how soon we're ready to go alpha. Building the masteries is a ton of work though, so there is no way we'd get to 7. I plan to release more though with expansions. Hopefully, if the expansions keep selling and we can build more, we could get to up to 8 or 10 masteries... or more! I already have several ideas for new masteries that I'm eager to work on. One thing at a time though...

Sweat - this is the 1st officially confirmed dual-class name, isn't it?
