    It does not mean anything in English either as far as I am aware.

    No such thing in English like Highsword... ? maybe it's a term from a book/show ?

    No clue... If its one of the classes we'll just have to wait till class ability or type reveals

    High as in fighting for a higher purpose such as faith. Sword being for the offensive nature of the comnination (Fighter/Cleric). So it could be something similar to what in other games are Crusaders or an offensive Paladin. Just speculation though.

    Yea, i think highsword implies something like a holy sword/palidan but If what steven said about the necromancer also applies to the highsword then he also can be a death/dark knight.

    @Web Highsword.  In this context, High would mean Holy/Heaven/Faith/Godly, so the name Highsword would mean something along the lines of HolyFighter, something similar to that.

    Highsword is not the only weird one. About half of class names are brainfarts. I really hope those current names are just temporary placeholders.

    Hi,

    Thank you for your answers that helped me a lot. I guess it must be hard to find nice names, especially since the nuance between Warrior/cleric and Cleric/warrior is already not simple.

    But thank again, great community.

    Or Fighter/cleric is a fighter who found the faith, so Crusader. Cleric/fighter is a cleric who learn to fight so templar... Knight means tank/tank for me, Not so easy cause each one as his idea.

    That is true, it depends what pov we are looking this. Knight could also be a tank/cleric, but there is one already as we know as Paladin. Knight could be a tank/fighter as well if we forget the holy aspect. Cleric/tank could be a templar f.e.. So yes there is options. Names just have to fulfill two main things. It needs to make sense and feel right, but also sound really cool and interesting. Highsword and many others f.e. does not fulfill either and thats a big problem imo.
