Within the prof elemental, there are four different profs, Pyromancers - fire users, Aeromencers - air users, hydromancers - water users, and geomancers - earth users. Are there names for different types of professions within the other professions?

Well in rangers, you've got

Hunter (marksmanship)
Trapper / Survivalist (wilderness survival)
Beast Master (beastmastery)

I think people have just applied the names to the specialized path they've gone down with their particular build as elementalists. I suppose I could apply names for the other classes:

Mesmer

Dominist (is that even a word?)
Illusionist
Enchanter (for inspiration I suppose)

Monk

Healer
Protector
Smiter

Necromancer

Cultist (Blood Magic)
Witch Doctor (Curses)
Ritualist (Death Magic)

Ranger

Hunter (Marksmanship)
Beast Master
Woodsman (for wilderness survival)

Warrior

Swordsman
Axeman
"The Hammer" - What do you call someone that wields a hammer?

Some of the names follow some of the mob names I've seen out there. For example, Charr Hunters appear to specialize higher in marksmanship than in wilderness survival. I'm pretty sure Claude (the necromancer henchman) uses blood magic because he casts blood ritual a lot.

Dunno, I usually see the elementalists using their terminology. A smiting monk might not be in high demand though. I think I'd rather have them have points in healing prayers and divine favor and put the rest in protection prayers, personally.

Dominist isn't a word, but Dominator is.

(just a thought since there's Rouge's, Virtuoso's, and Enchanter's armor)

Yeah was gonna go down that path but realized it would be Dominatrix for a female and that might, erm, carry the wrong connotations.
