I've been coaching my girlfriend on healing. We get a lot of tanks that are new. One of them said to us, "Please, God, go easy on me, I'm a new tank." It can be brutal for tanks, and my heart goes out to them.

Aelio, everything you've said is correct. I wanted to voice my support.

I also wanted to add this in response to Canadane's comments about "greatness."

Part of being great is being a great person. That means adapting to the needs of the party. It also means knowing when to push someone and when not to.

I don't tank much. This has happened to me once. I didn't mind. I learned how to heal better from the AST in the group. It taught me nothing about tanking.
