The 4th Tank.

You misunderstand the notion of "ranged" tank in the context I mean. The best example is the Powertech from swtor:

The Powertech is one of the two Advanced Classes of the Bounty Hunter, It is the "tanking" AC for Bounty Hunters, and focuses heavily on the use of Gadgets, Energy Shields, and the Flamethrower. Although Powertech has a lot of ranged abilities, all 3 Powertech specs require Melee range to achieve maximum potential.

The class is armed with a gun and has a variety of long range attacks, but it still has to stand and take enemy damage and a lot of it's main moves require you to be up close. The main difference with the Powertech is that instead of swinging a lightsaber in that game, it fires it's gun at point blank range. That is what the concept of a ranged tank means and it could work in this game if the abilities are tuned right. The only real difference between the powertech and the other tanks in swtor is that it has more ranged attack options than the other classes and still uses those ranged attacks while standing in the boss' face eating auto attack damage.

That's not a ranged tank. A ranged tank is a tank that fights enemies at a distance hence the ranged part. Calling that in SWTOR is a misnomer. Puppet Master example. You send your puppet out and it controls the mobs and where they are pointing while you stay back at a distance managing the abilities and such.

That's what it was called in swtor by the devs of the game, I just rolled with that as what I know.
