Tips for New Players want to play Tank in Frontline

I just just want to offer some tips for new players want to play tank:

1. Please consider use Heavy Swing and Retaliation and stay away from Weapon Throw.
Reprisal and Rampart are not recommended because these 2 skills are only ideal in smaller scale PvP such as the Feast, but not Frontline.
Weapon throw in general not ideal because it can be easily counter by enemy healer's rescue and most of jobs have escapers.
The next point will further reinforce on why Weapon Throw is highly not recommanded.

2. Choose a visible symbol such as Circle and only apply on the target you about to stun.
The basic rotation is charge > stun > Heavy Swing back to your team.
When target got knock back towards your own group, this target will less likely to escape with escaper and you also cut him off from enemy healer's rescue. This will slow down a lot of veteran melees.

3. The recommend target priority in first 5 mins is Range > Melee > Tank > Healer in larger scale PvP.
After 5 mins, the target priority changed to non/low BH Tank > non/low BH meele > Range (any) > Healer.
The priority changes according to BH, any low/non BH tank/melees usually reflects to their skill (not 100%, but on average) and they are easier to kill.
Focus healer only recommend in smaller encounter but in larger scale pvp you want enemy healer to choose a target to heal instead of just keep healing himself.
If there is no range and you must choose a melee, priority is Monk > Reaper > Samurai > Dragoon.
The reason is obvious, Monk has no range and must be in close quarter for Dragon Kick and Reaper porting mechanic is clunky and most people can yet master timing of shield.
Samurai and Dragoon have much better escaper; therefore not on high priority.

4. Most important of all, although you are referring as a tank but smart DPS will always ignore you and go for Ranges.
You are not a DPS nor Tank, you are just a support role to setup the kill for your team.
Those fancy plays you saw in 1 v 1 or Secure are nothing but Veterans using their knowledge as weapon on players that don't know or not trying to learn.

I don't do tank, but I heal and these things I will add.
Unlike in pve you arnt invincible some things you can heal though if you're out of defensive cooldowns and the enemy team is mostly targeting you (despite tank being the worst thing to really target) you should pull back a little past your own front line till some of the heat comes off. Also if you pull all the way though the enemy pack and you're DEEP on their backline you run the risk of not getting healed because healers will have to pull out in the danger zone to try and get to you (this and sticking around to heal people who should have pulled out a year ago is what contributes to 95% of my deaths lol). Personally my targeting priority is as follows even in large groups
Battle fevers> People marked <1> as long as everyone is them> Healers near the frontlines> Ranged (near the front not in bfe), melees > tanks (last) You should DEF go for any healer near the front lines IMO, you can take them out easy.
