Tank? Really?

[Даки]

Couldn't you guys come up with a better name? Knight? Protector? Guardian?
Tank is a really silly name for a class.

Healer is also "Healer" and not "priest" or "monk".. because it defines the classes/roles.

Healer is a normal class/profession name. Damage dealer, nuker, tank are jargonisms.
Imagine if "healer" was named "buffer", now that is the same as "tank" you have.

I chuckled when I saw it. Thought its easter egg or something : P.

[Gisborne]

is there healiing spells?

[Zabu]

Its a little odd i agree. Could just be humour but the game seems to take itself seriously with its ingame lore. So this feels a bit out of place

I agree, "Tank" is not a Class, its an archtype or a "roll" in a Team, like Attacker/Damage Dealer, Healer(yes i know...), or Support, yet none of those are being used.
Sentinel, Warrior, or Protector could have fufilled the same meaning, and be a proper "Class"

What 1000 years ago you dont think a knight turned up on the battlefield and all the peasants were like "Bruv what a tank"

Seems REALLLLY Pleonastic.

Hey you, Untrained Tank. Are you ready to work on your Tanking skills. These skills will help you Tank better. Now Go and remember you have to be....Tanking as your job as a....tank.... is to..................Tank.

Regardless, I'd prefer something even more silly like...Meat shield, Sword Sponge, or even Punch Dummy if we're not going to use more accurate terms like...... Guard, Defender, Protector, sentry, sentinel, or bulwark.


But I'd vote on Dolemite. Just because...ifykyk.

They called Healer, Healer instead of Cleric etc.

Meat Shield

[Maxebo]

knight is a bit bland but protector and guardian are good ones (let me add sentinel) since you do protect/guard others with the aura and aggro keystones at the end. and somebody suggested paladin but for me that would be a mixed class of melee and magic/healing skills

[Zabu]

Its a little immersion breaking since from what i know the game itself doesnt really have a definition of what a tank is. If you pick a "class" or "role" and not a single npc in the game would be able to explain the meaning of the word thats probably a good tell

[EyeXombie]

Yall will complain about anything.

[Mr. Fibble]

I'm almost inclined to agree with the OP since in MMO's the tank is the one who gets the blame when the idiot dps ignores a simple kill that one, does whatever the hell they want and dies because they ran as far and as fast as possible away from the tank or healer.

Doesn't quite work in a solo setting though.

Lot of fuss over nothing because they're simply labels used to inform players what that part of the tree covers. Which is why there markers like athlete and survivor in the list

I wonder if you understand what the point of this early access is:

"We have put all our heart and soul into the development of Enshrouded and we are ready to show it to you! We want to develop the game together with you during Early Access and of course beyond!"
