The Unofficial Official "Name that Subclass: Tanks!" Game

Hi,

With 64 potential class combinations, we can't keep calling it tank / tank! That's not very immersive... It's time to play "Name that Subclass!"

Tanks, Fighters, Rogues, Rangers, Mages, Clerics, Summoners, and Bards.

The way the game is going to work is you enter the id number of the subclass and what you would recommend calling that class. I will take your responses and add them as suggestions to the original post. After 1 weeks time, I will put up polls voting on our favorite recommendations!

Then, the following week, we'll name another set of classes. No jumping ahead! If you really want to name that Bard/Bard, you have to stick with us until the end!!!

Suggestions should be 1 or 2 words and should be viable names.

Thanks for playing!

    For example,

    6. Tank / Cleric = Paladin!  
  • &. Tank/summoner=warlord
  • 8. tank/bard = Tard!
  • @weekdys did you see this?
  • 2. tank / fighter = knight
    3. tank / rogue = blackguard

    tank / tank = Tonk ofcourse

  • Tank/Rogue = sneaky sneaky smash
  • Welphgryn said:
    Tank/Rogue = sneaky sneaky smash

    I think we may need a new rule for single word or at most 2.  Something actually viable :smile:
  • 1TankTank - Guardian

    2TankFighter - Knight

    3TankRogue - Monk

    4TankRanger - Warden

    5TankMage - Arcane protector

    6TankCleric - Paladin

    7TankSummoner - ???

    8TankBard - Songshield

    Tank / cleric - Templar
    tank / mage - Eldritch Guardian
  • NorTroll said:
    Tank / summoner - Commander
    Tank / cleric - Templar
    tank / mage - Eldritch Guardian
    I like Commander.  :)
  • Tank/mage = Archon
  • Tank + Mage = Force Shielder
    Tank + Bard = Drummer
    Tank + Hunter = Panzer
    Tank + Tank = Invincible
    Tank + Cleric = Divine

     And also If he have any weeabos here, as their anime counterparts we can nickname Tank+Mage  "Erza", and Tank+Cleric as "Sakura
  • For Tank/Tank, why not name it after one of the best actual tanks made:  Centurion

  • Can you do this for all other class later? :)

    Tank/Tank: Defender 
    Tank/Mage: Guardian


  • I like the centurion idea
  • tonk ,lmao
  • Monk should be Cleric/fighter

    Skip to What i suppose segment.
    When naming something, you've consider two things. One is how good the name is, as in if it conveys what's being named right. For example, Tank/Cleric is a Paladin. That's an appropriate name. Second is convenience, how easy it is to use the name, since we are all doing this because Tank/Cleric is really not efficient. So, i suppose the following.

    When naming something, say Tank/Tank, we take the first later from the main class and the first later from the subclass and put them next to each other with a period in between. For example, the aforesaid Tank/Tank will be T.T. Another one is Tank/Rogue, which will be T.R. 

    But there is an odd case i found in this naming system. Tank/Rogue, and Tank/Ranger both have similar acronyms, being T.R, T.R. To fix this, i suppose that we either change the name of the class ranger to be either Hunter since no class has a name that starts with an H, or we assign a digit to one of them. For example, if we change the name, Tank/Ranger will become Tank/Hunter, and we will have an acronym that is T.H. If we assign a digit to one of them, then we get Tank/Rogue=T.R1 and Tank/Ranger becomes T.R2. In my opinion it will be easier to just swap the name Ranger for Hunter. Much easier. In all cases, the naming will commence as follows.


    Skip To HERE :# 

    What i suppose, 


    Tank/Cleric                                                     T.C or T/C
    Tank/Mage                                                      T.M or T/M
    Tank/Rogue                                                    T.R1 or T/R1
    Tank/Ranger                                                   T.R2  or T/R2
    Tank/Tank                                                        T.T  or  T/T
    Tank/Bard                                                        T.B or   T/B
    Tank/Fighter                                                     T.F  or  T/F
    Tank/Summoner                                              T.S or T/S

  • @SethGure  Sorry but using initial letters are very inconvenient, confusing and there is no fun in that.

    @Bannith  I think Fighter/Rogue should be Duelist and Fighter/Mage also should be BattleMage if there's gonna be a Battle Mage

    or Titan should be Rogue/Fighter #AttackOnTitan #ShingekiNoKyojinReference

    Sneakysneakysmash.

    Fixed it to adhere to new rule.
  • Shirikuryu That's the plan!  Good suggestions

    @SethGure I agree from an easy to understand perspective, but who wants to read a quest log that says T.T. :)

    Welphgryn I'm not trying to be a stickler.  It'll play!

    @Dolphin Remember those when we get to the Fighter game!
    Mosaic Remember that when we get to Cleric game!

    @Bannith Great list!  You and @NorTroll are nailing it!


    @Ghyx @Virtek I like it!
  • Not mine but just gonna post it here.

    Tank / Tank - Sentinel (No one gets past them, keeps aggro or prevents engagement in other ways.)

    Tank / Fighter - Juggernaut
    (Unstoppable, lots of movement, more damage.)

    Tank / Rogue - Corsair (Rogue / Tank would be Ninja as a pairing, for fun. Salty and tough, with a taste for treasure.)

    Tank / Bard - Paragon
    (Thinking GW here, taking war cries and turning them into chants to buff the party.)



  • Tank/Fighter - Warrior
  • By the way, @tugowar , on behalf of everyone thanks for openning this thread, furtherly we can even make a very well organized gdocs for all ones later.

    @Alistair  I think Fighter Fighter should be Warrior.

    Off-topic, I wonder if the name could change depending on the race/gender like "Witch" if it's a Nükai mage+mage, or Samurai for fighter+fighter if there's gonna be east asian race.
