no one really cares about the name outside of a few immersion bros.
So call yourself a Guardian if that is the role you want...
Or would you prefer the names reversed so that a Guardian/Guardian = Tank.
Should we just change a vowel and call it a Tonk...Like Tonka Truck.
TANK IS NOT A CLASS, IT IS AN ARCHETYPE.
Now that the all caps is out of the way, the Tank is not a class, the combination of two "archetypes" make the class. So no, the Tank "class" doesn't need a rename because the actual Tank classes already are named something different. It's absolutely crazy how many times this thread gets made over the years. At first I didn't care but at this point I just hope they don't change it out of spite, ya'll are ridiculous.
It also helps figuring out the rock paper scissor relationships
Eh, semantics.
They should rename the tank archetype.
HERO
(WAR)CHIEF
SENTINEL
All of these are horrible and don't fit tank class fantasy. Sorry, but other suggestions are way better.
Why do you apologize for sharing your opinion? Have confidence in yourself.
By the way, the aim wasn't to pit other people's ideas against mine. But to not taking ownership out of respect for those who had them.
My own suggestion: Warrior
Sufficiently ambiguous and leaves room for the secondary class addon to meld the class into the player's desired spec.
Similarly, you wouldn't want to call Cleric as "Healer" because it would be too specific as to what the class might be used for instead of having the secondary class name take that burden.
You are a genius. It seemed so obvious to me that Warrior was already being used in secondary that I didn't even take the time to check.
Warrior is ideal and a classic in the whole history of MMO...
I can't understand why no one before you has suggested Warrior when this debate has been going on for several years.
I feel the core issue is pve focused people vrs more pvp type people with terms. Pve players think all you can do is tank, and not having a more pvp outlook
But may I suggest the 'Stalwart' as another option?
As simple as this.
But I want to play tank that bonks people on the head with bigly yuge sword and literally spec for my survivability and outlast gameplay. I do not identify as a Guardisn. I identify as a Bradley.
The fighter can have a generic background story like you would get out of mass effect like fighter comes from arenas and mercenary work where the Tank is the one who comes from running protection and more "Noble" settings.
I say the Tank should be named Errant, and the Tank/Tank should be Knight and not the Tank/Fighter cause the Knight would be like the opposite side of the coin for what a fighter would come off as.
this will fit into the lore as well the Errant can be an ex military or someone who served a noble and is now wandering looking for adventure, you meet other Errant who came through the stargate for the same reason and can be the focal point for becoming whatever/errant.
Another reason to would be it fits and sounds more original and less badass sounding then what you can become. if this becomes the case I would recommend changing Argent to something else too to avoid confusion

Rename the Guardian class to 'Juggernaught'.
that's my reaction to whenever I see people posting stuff like "high quality memes" instead of having an actual intelligent conversation. Starting to think everyone around here is sharing the same brain cell
The meme thread is the best one on the forum, by a loooong way.
yeah cause you can post without having to use your brain
You know what... I think every tank class should just be tank as well. But like, wizard tank. Sneaky tank. Musical tank. Tanky Tank
why would you even say that, I'm curious what drives someone to make stupid posts like this. does it upset you to see people actually knowing how to use their brain? did your parents not pay you enough attention growing up so you need to hijack threads with stupid nonsense posts to be noticed?
like what is your driving force here?
you can feign ignorance all you want but we both know your saying this just to be a clown
