Naming the arcanist variants

Hello there,

Now that we got a new class coming, the arcanist, I would like to start the discussion on how we should call the dd specs, heal spec and the tank spec of the class. We already call sorcerer specs like stam sorc and mag sorc, we have magplars and stamplars, magcros and stamcros.

How would you go on about calling the stam and mag variants of the arcanist? What about tank and healer specs?

I would like to propose the names stamnist (stamina arcanist), magnist (magicka arcanist), tanknist and healnist.

    Stamnist & Magnist?
    Oops, I see OP you've already proposed these variants.
    It's probably a good idea to read all the way to the end of a post before commenting.

    It'll probably just be shortened to arc. Thankfully support roles never really fit into the compound shortening. I've never heard anyone use something like tankcro, when it's just necro tank, dk tank etc.

    The extra syllable makes it roll better off the tongue, imo.

      Krisiel: Redguard Stamsorc DPS - Literally crazy Werewolf, no like legit insane. She nuts
      Kiju Veran: Khajiit Stamblade DPS - Ex-Fighters Guild Suthay who likes to punch things, nicknamed Tinykat
      Niralae Elsinal: Altmer Stamsorc DPS - Young Altmer with way too much Magicka
      Sarah Lacroix: Breton Magsorc DPS - Fledgling Vampire who drinks too much water
      Slondor: Nord Tankblade - TESified verson of Slenderman
      Marius Vastino: Imperial <insert role here> - Sarah's apathetic sire who likes to monologue

      ngl this just sounds awful and awkward to say aloud, compared to the other classes' specs especially.

      Love Marc and Starc but MagArc and StamArc seem more probable to catch on with the overall community, imho.

      Hmm

      The problem with using something like Marc and Starc is to me at least it sounds kind of like Sorc. I dunno just me perhaps but I wonder if something else might work better like:

      Magcan and Stamcan
      Perhaps this is where a ronin such as you belongs. Today, Victory is mine. Long Live the Empire.
