Personally, I have had an idea about a new title for awhile. It would replace Expert Heavy Swordsman(or whatever it was changed to). The title is Myrmidion. A Myrmidion in actual history was a swordsman proficient in the use of the blade in DEFENSIVE forms. So there ya go. Idea that fits right into the tree for defense. There's my two credits.

Swashbukler is like a pirate or a european fencer person. That sounds a hell of alot like earth continuity to me. If they can get it, i think we should have samurai.

Gladiator is pretty cool too. Something else just popped into my head and popped out just as fast

I'm a aware of that: same theme, just not as overused among the UBER LEET DOOD NINJAS RULZ crowd. I'm also partial to the darker connotations of the fall from honor.
In any case, Warrior is the only one of our current sub-titles that I really like (a bit generic, but good).
How about:
Master Sword Offense: Ronin (the area attack line is more suited to the lone wolf, warrior for hire aspect of the Ronin)
Master Sword Defense: Myrmidon (I like this title a lot)
And warrior and Samurai in the techniques/finesse trees, not sure which would better fit where.

Myrmidon would be a good fencer title since they're a defensive class. Not a swordsman title, because swordsman is an offensive class.
