I'd suggest a

Tank/Summoner

Yes

In case my poor attempt at a joke went over your head - you've listed pretty much what Ashes is already going for with their augments and class system. You were just missing 2 classes, though your "projectile" tank could be seen as the tank/summoner who sends his summons to other players to protect them from incoming projectiles.

But yes, in a way that's pretty much as far as you can go with tanks. Tank is probably one of the most limited classes because their task is quite singular - absorb damage instead of others. Any other role can be taken up by someone else. And the singularity of that role limits the range of what you can do with the class.

Lineage 2 had a "mage" tank. I've won several pvp fights by using its magic abilities instead of just hitting someone with a sword.

Here's a list of its abilities

I expect Tank/Mage to be pretty much the same in function. Which is why I think that AoC already covers most, if not all, tank variations. Well, that is if they can make the augment system interesting and deep.

I mean, yes, but those are all "tank", so they will all have the same skillset among them. And the things the OP listed roughly fit the potential augments of the classes I listed. If just being a tank is enough to cover all of the things in the OP - I see no point in even having augments or classes.

I feel like this would be a mobile tank. Maybe even an evasion one. And depending on other augment schools, "rangeriness" might not even come into play in that class.

Sure, why not?

That's a valid Tank type too.

It should be impossible for every Tank/X to tank every enemy equally 'well' if using the same strategy. And since I would hope you don't have 'absolute freedom of strategy' against every opponent, that's going to be the decider fairly often.

I'm rapidly learning that people are used to the type of Tank I hate the most and therefore don't really think about how this could work, but I'm hoping to see something in Tank Showcase that makes it clear we're not dealing with that limited tanking style.

I feel like this is going to be the dealbreaker for a lot of people, assuming Intrepid actually shows enough for anyone to make any real judgement on it to begin with.
