To sum up a good part of this thread: Weeaboo vs the world.
She deals with spirits, that much we can all agree on, right?
Good. Then lets look at Nexons pick and the weeaboo translation.
Spirit walker fits because spirits, but is a tad annoying since it brings the mind to indians.
Diviner is a problematic translation, beacuse the Kana class has little to do with soothsaying/fortune-telling, even if can be done through spirits. She is not really eating mushrooms, meditating or taking drum trips to reach the spirit world on a quest for information as far as I know. And if she is, then Shaman would have been better than Diviner.
Conclusion: Both names suck, but with Spirit Walker it is easier to picture what she really does gameplay wise. I'd have picked another option but if these were the two options, fine.
A tad off topic perhaps, but the hyper boost to WAB and other hurricanesque skills is crap, it is just a tiny boost in lenght, and in that extension FA won't trigger.
