How to Help Tanks in Dungeons 101.

[CrisGer]

This may be one of the most useful threads on the New Player list ..thanks again...lots of good advice here. Sheer San your last post is very good, many of us are new to Tanking and want to do well and are afraid of messing up. This attitude of helping without trying to make us instant experts is just right. It is very nice when things go well. I died twice in my first dungeon as a tank but i kept coming back and the team were nice about it and we made it thru. I will keep trying hard and these tips have been invaluable. Like i said, i missed the in game live tips, because it started spamming right when i had to start the dungeon and i could not open all of the pages so i lost it, it never saved to my library of tips. I hope to find it somwhere online at some point but for now these tips have been a huge help.

Mark or have someone mark who knows what to mark - right click on the life bars of the foes that appear on the left side of the screen
Watch the colour key for Aggression from the foes...red for fully aiming at YOU, orange for getting there and green for Not at All
Realize that the Foes are ranked A-Z for each room of the dungeon and you can target them that way
Try to keep the Tank NOT fully healed so that they can pull aggression from the bosses and foes
Try to encourage people to target the marked foes
Bring Enemies TO the Tank - if you get attacked run TOWARD the Tank so they can grab the foe from you.

thanks again for a sane and reasonable and very nice thread.
