Class Name Change

Reading through these forums and other places online... basically every class has complaints. Looking at them, yeah there are nerfs/changes/etc..., but a lot of it comes down to classes being associated with certain roles. Templar=healing, NB=rogue, Sorc=Sorc, DK=tank. Lot of people flipping out about a certain class not being the best w/ a certain weapon/role.

Looking at the class skills any class can fill any role. Think this was ZOS`s intention w/ the ill-fated "play your way" tagline.

1.6 is a perfect time to break the pre-conceptions and rename the classes. Call them Lightning, Shadow, Flame, and Light... or anything that doesn`t imply a certain role and I think you will find a lot less complaints and more build diversity.

One of the best things about ESO is the ability to switch up any class and fill any role and for new players it would be great if this was presented in the beginning to set that frame.

    People don't think of DK's as the best tanks or Templars as the best healers because of the names. They think of them that way because of their class skills, the toolsets that make them the best at those roles.

    DKs are(for whatever reason) considered "OP" because their class skills allow them more flexibility than the other three classes. Templars come in 2nd. sorcerers and NBs are up for debate.
