You seem to think that our relationship is something like:

When it's actually more akin to:

I don't think so. We don't know how difficult it is to change your secondary archetype. I don't think that it will be as easy as WoW though.
It won't be as easy as WoW, nothing will. Even once that is implemented in to the game though, I would expect people to be happy to change secondary class weekly if they had reason to do so - or even more frequently.

It honestly doesn't matter too much to me, but I can see where people are coming from - and how it could be pretty annoying to someone who wants to play tank roles. Like I would be pretty sad if Bard was renamed Buffer.
While your sarcasm is obvious, your name has Mao in it - also offensive to some people.
Oof
But meta is a thing. And 64 unique identifiers is needlessly complicated, and, when given a choice, most people will go for the simpler/more intuitive option.
For that reason I suggest one of the two options:
- borrow from gw1 and use the first few letters of a class name to make a combination
- number each class and just use that (example: fighter fighter would be 1/1)
Like it or not, the game community will bypass the 64 class naming convention in discussing builds. Better to figure out a simplified way to do that now.
GW1 didnt combine the first three letters of a class to make another one. You were ALWAYS your main class + your secondary class (could be that i missunderstood you there though).
And I would not really compare GW1 and Ashes at all.
The names are just flavour. A Fighter/Bard and a Fighter/Tank will still be fighters.
Correct, the community did. The most notable example is warrior/monk abbreviated to WaMo.
And a fighter fighter will be, I think, distinct enough from a fighter tank (still don't like that class name) that being able to distinguish them beyond just "fighter".
Petition to make tanks roll around to move forward? ehehehehe
Seriously tho if you do not think about a container what do you think about when you hear tank? Is it the best word to describe the class? I mean it's heavily armored, it can take a lot of abuse. Maybe, maybe not but looking through this topic none of the suggested names do any better.
Some might, if you assume alot about the classes capabilities, but that's the thing, we assume. We don't know and like the 50 "rename classes" thread before this that's all I need to disagree with any and all suggested names.
We don't know how the class will turn out and until we do no name will ever be better than tank. Period.
It's the tank, which also has the role of the tank. Simple, easy and if anyone wanna tell me they never looked for group members by writing "lfg ranged dps, heal (3/5)" not caring for the class then you are lying (or never had anything else aside from a dungeon finder, r.i.p.)

The thing is:
A Fighter/Fighter will have the same base abilities as a Fighter/Tank.
Example:
Fighter - Charge - Charge an enemy and knock them back.
Fighter/Fighter - Charge - Charge an enemy, knock back all enemies on your path and parry all incomming physical attacks for 3sec.
Fighter/Tank - Charge - Charge an enemy, knock them to the ground and taunt all enemies in a 3m radius.
They are just provoking you guys to talk about it so that they keep you engaged.
Why else would they name their tank archtype tank LOL. It's a prank!
Watch them change it 1 day before release LMFAO
Let's call it Panzer. It's the german equivalent of the tank while it's literal translation is armour while also being the word used for the shell of a turtle and similar protective features. The panzer of a turtle, get it? It's perfect.
"Lf Group Panzer 7/8" Can't get better than that. :kappa

ahahahaha it sounds like some gangbanger name. Should defo use it, all the kids will play panzers
And regarding the "a fighter is a fighter" I would suggest thay the augments your second class brings will be significant enough that some groups will prefer one type of tank over another (perhaps tank cleric over tank rogue for example).
On a side note, I think wonderful abbreviation for tank cleric would be TaCl
Well unless there's an actual "tank" as a type of siege weapon in Ashes, i.e. the Verra population actually have the concept of "tank = something or someone who soaks up damage in the frontline, leading the breakthrough", then that's a different story
Funny how no one has issues with the combined Class names. But then we haven't seen the skills and abilities, yet.
If Intrepid is so fixed with Tank, so people can understand the class, when choosing. Then let's change the others to be more discriptive names, as well, for immersion purposes.
Ranger to Bowman
Mage to Spellcaster
Cleric to Healer
Fighter to Weapon Master
Rogue to Backstabber
Summoner and Bard can stay, as they are discriptive already.

Just kidding.. kinda agree on this
A being can not judge light if he has never seen it, neither can he judge darkness if he never has been it
someone else said vanguard... that would be fine too..
"Tank" makes no sense imo.
Just because YOU don't want it, dosen't mean the everybody else feel the same way. How arrogant are you. I can emagine alot of people don't care. If you pick it, atleast you should have an idea what it is about
