The Arcanist used to have a different class name

It used to be called "Bob." I think we need an arcanist themed non-combat pet named Bob. It freed them to design the class the way they felt it should be instead of trying to force themselves into certain archetypes. I learned this on the live stream.

    "Bob and Weave"? (for a new weapon-free stamina Arcanist toon)

    The more interesting bits that I took from the ESO Live discussion today were:
    1. The new class originally had a DIFFERENT (pre-Bob) placeholder name. What could it have been? Trolls are curious :)
    2. Since "Bob" went into the game code as a placeholder in many different places, is "Bob" now a restricted name that cannot be used for new characters, the way that many other names from Elder scrolls lore are off limits?

    OK but then there's the same debate to be had on how to pronounce it.

    Personally, I go with Bob, because whilst Bob looks right on screen, it doesn't sound right out loud. But I can see how some people might also go with Bob as well.

    I'm glad I am aware now. I thought the original was Dissapointmentmancer. Or Blinder. Or Green-Meth-Lantern.

    Okay, Green-Meth-Lantern makes it sound kind of awesome, though.

    Staminist sounds like a Victorian era name for someone who performs feats of stamina. Percy, The inexhaustible Staminist.

    Can we refer to ourselves as Tamrielic Castaways?
