Hey guys. I did all of the notable renaming, as well as all the original notable naming, all of the Keystone flavor text, and a ton of unique item flavor texts. If you've got a "beef" with the new names, take it up with me :P
In all seriousness, I went with a class-based theme for some of the renaming, an idea that I plan to explore more down the road. The node "Beef", which has a cool double meaning, was originally intended for the Maruader's part of the tree, but it works well enough for the Duelist. "Beef" is a decent synonym for "brawn", and it has the cool extra meaning of "having a grudge". It works well for melee classes, trust me, it'll grow on you :)
It's honestly really easy to come up with high-fantasy names for everything, but frankly, I think that's a little boring. I went with some more creative angles on the notables this time around, just to mix things up. I hope you'll agree that "Grave Consequences" is a cooler name for the summoner node than something like "Undead Mastery" or whatever.
As others have pointed out, it was necessary to rename a lot of notables to make them distinct for the purpose of the League Challenges.
You did an awesome job naming "Hard Knocks". I saw it, saw it was an intelligence node, and just laughed. I love the quirky humor with it.

I love the new +Zombie passive names. They're quite punny.

+1 for keeping it playful.
Finally, I do lift!!

Thanks for the support guys! I'm glad that there are people who don't have a beef with the new notable names :)

Lol I can see people now searching for that node.. going "Where's the Beef?" !!!

I like the new names. Beef will make for some good jokes on chat, so well done :)
"Pressure Points" - immediately reminded me of the manga/anime I loved when I was a kid - Hokuto no Ken.

I second that "Hard Knocks" was very clever.
And really - people don't like "BEEF"? Really?!?!?
