Reaper Job Icon

[Burningskull]

I should say I'm not expecting them to change it or anything. Just wanted to vent a little. Personally I think it would look better if it had just been the Avatars face outline or a cloaked figure holding a scythe or something... Kirby holding a scythe does not intimidation make.

I LEGIT DIED when I saw this. Literally can never be UNSEEN!

Saw this too, lol. I expect Botanists to be the happiest and best boy in the next expansion before they reveal to themselves that they're actually a reaper in our job quest.

a cloaked figure holding a scythe or something...

That would be so hard to make out at icon size.

They're not supposed to be illustrations. They're not supposed to intimidate the enemy. They're meant to be a simple representation of the weapon used by the class that can be understood at a tiny scale – and I think it's fine as a stylised scythe and the circle representing the avatar.

I presume the circle in the icon is not so much meant to represent a Voidsent per se, but rather the portal to the Void the Voidsent is summoned from.

As Iscah said, Job icons are meant to be a simplified stylization representing the lore and weapon of the Job - the class icons are ironically more detailed depiction of the weapons or abilities they use - and as the Voidsent RPR uses is not a pet but an extension of the weapon, the icon makes sense.

Or at least, to me it does.
