Tank training

Maybe I should make a guide. It be mostly targeted towards Paladins though. :/

Maybe if the community at large had a bit more patience and attempted to help players who aren't as good as they are instead of treating them like shit things would improve. Clearly the only solution is to jam them in a solo instance so they can practice.

I've made guides, others have made guides, but too many people don't get on the forums. The training method should be in game.

Honestly, if a tank does nothing but flashes until he's oom, he'd at least hold everything besides [1] off the rest of the group.

Did you read the OP? Most of these guys, if you offer advice, they remain quiet or get all uppity, no matter how nicely you try to frame it.

Sorry but if a game constantly has 2-4 mob packs, and supertanking doesn't exist, clearly your class has some kind of aoe hate tool. If the healer is taking all the damage and the acn has not nuking so he can heal the healer, you're doing something wrong.

Both Flash and Overpower aren't even quest-reward-abilities. You just get them so all of these guys have it.

The ones that truely need help won't read a guide. It has to be something that forces them to learn.

I doubt the ones that people have trouble with even visit the forums. :x

If you read most of the posts, they suggested to flash or overpower more, which flaming in response.

Also if you try and help a tank learn how ot play they rage out and say "I no what im doin!!" Has happened multiple times healing low lvl instances when i get aggro from a my first cure 20 seconds into the fight .

Tanking in 3 steps.

#1. If you are taking a lot of damage, pop a cooldown.
#2. If the healer is dying, you are doing a bad job. If you are dying, the healer is doing a bad job.
#3. If the DPS is dying, they are dpsing wrong.

I figure I should ask before I get much farther towards endgame on my Paladin, but for how long is the basic Flash -> FB -> SB -> Halone -> Flash rotation I use viable? Is there a new rotation setup I should get used to using for endgame content?

We talking single target or multiple mobs?
