So the question is would you say you are a Tank, a Healer or a DPS?

none of these things is my answer
if you aren't talking specifically online my answer is still none of these things, I typically change out which role I do.
However, if this is about preference then it's a Hybrid of a Tank/DPS, probably just called a Tank in the end.

This is more about what you would say you are in real life if life suddenly became an RPG

That's okay those were more just examples because that's the common way to describe the classes.

A controller uses their ability to change the outcome of a battle with buffs/ debuffs etc. Basically they don't focus on agro or healing, they might heal or create agro. But they basically are all about controlling, such as using paralyze on the right enemy, etc. Not DPS, TANK, or Healer focused, even misleading the enemy to the tank even the tank doesn't produce as much agro as say the Healer or the DPS character. Therefore, ideally keeping the battle in favor of their allies
But MMO's typically concentrate on creating the three arch types you mentioned

I was not aware of that, i think that's what my dad plays as then in WoWLord Myne wrote: ↑07 Jun 2020, 13:05Guess it isn't typical.

I've heard of it but I've never actually watched it, I've heard it was what everyone loved before SAO was made

In terms of DPS, Tank, Healer, is hard to say for me cus I'm not a huge fan of working with people in MMO's, if I could solo everything I would.
So usually I'll go something with some self healing but also high health/armour using an "outlast them" strategy...if it can even be called a strategy haha
