    I felt the pain as soon as I ran Bray, and was told how horrible I am. Granted, its a crappy feeling being told how bad you suck but I immediately knew I was doing something wrong when I was literally holding no aggro on mob sets.

    I researched on forums, ran over my spells and am practicing Manor to get a better taste of rotation. However, many DPS is not helping the situations for tanks learning these instances, considering the aggro spread and how difficult it is getting threat back or chasing 1 mob off a healer while trying to manage the rest of the pull. Further I'm on the PS3 and the targeting is incredibly difficult,its easy to misclick and your spamming [O] to cancel your targeting or your camera gets all jacked up from R3 or L3 lock.
    Overall, I sincerely hope the community understands that making fun or calling tanks terrible will only makes those queues longer, especially considering how many people are simply new to MMO's.

    I can relate to this. I have been playing summoner and I would group with my sister who is a warrior on PS3. Damage intake was just unexpectedly through the roof for bray. It is unlike any previous dungeons in this regard. All too often people start giving her a hard time saying she sucks, which she can take a bit too personally. To shut the prima donna healers up, I decided I'd do scholar from now on instead. She has gotten better as shes become more familiar with the game (and MMOs as a whole), but the PS3 thing really is a handicap that I do not see a way around. It is such a severe limitation that I have been trying to talk up some kind of mindless drone DPS class for her to consider changing to.

    I would love to hear some tank tips for ps3 players. For instance, we try to turn off NPC targeting while in battle, but she continues to waste time targeting my pet.

    If you feel like your getting hit for a lot of damage here, make sure you use some food and even a +vit potion on the boss fights to give you a little extra buffer. I can make a big difference if you're getting hit hard and you don't have anyone to sleep one of the adds. And make it easy on yourself, don't forget to mark the targets. That alone makes everything go so much smoother.
