Healers that run

ok so this is my first game ever playing as a tank wish i did it before whatever. this seems to happen alot anytime the healer pulls hate why in the hell is he/she running away like thats gonna save them so here i go trying to play catch up an before u know it were dead i try to let them know in the begining if they pull hate run to me . but they runaway i dont get it but other than that TANKING IS THE SHIT

let things chase them

pick them up when they stop to type

As crazy as it sounds, a lot of melee enemies can't keep up if you run at certain angles coupled with Sprint. If there are three or more adds going straight for the healer, a healer usually will be in critical HP after the first round of blows. If threat is not secured within two seconds after that, the healer dies. (this happens moreso in Castrum during the boss fights)

Some healers will prepare Holy. Some will prepare to heal themselves. Others will lift up their robes and sprint in a circle (if skilled, back to the tank to give you awareness that they're in danger and mostly will die from the wallop).

This.
I flipping hate it when people who have aggro run away. I run as fast as you. I won't catch up with Sprint, and I won't be able to Sprint because I'm using TP already, and if I do Sprint to catch up, I won't have TP to use abilities to get aggro.

This kind of info should be in party play 101. "Help your tank to help your party succeed." A lot of new players won't think about this, yet it sounds like common sense after you hear it. I guess you learn it, maybe harshly, after your first wipe. :)
