How to Help Tanks in Dungeons 101.

[CrisGer]

OK i thought about this for a while but decided to ask. Is it possible for some of the veteran players here to do a short list of what to expect and aim at in the first four dungeons. I expect we can and should be able to get along ourselves after that but I would love to have a short laundry list of the major bosses, and possible tricks or twists to expect in just the first four. Dont need a huge walk through or think it is appropriate. but among us Tanks it might be very nice to have this so that we can do our best as I know we all want to. My greatest fear is letting the team down, i will do whatever I can to get us thru, but it is hard at times to see where to go and what to expect and for instance there was a boss in one of the first dungeon rooms that started running all over the place when he was about 60 % damages. I could not get a lock on him to make him mad at me and he refused to fight me when i was able to land some blows. I now have the shield throw but it was a tough spot and I died once over him and his antics. We were able to finish and the team was very nice to me and i did my best for them.

There is something called "the Nail" in one of the early dungeons that evidently is very deadly and it helped a lot just to know that. Still dont know what it is. .but i will now know to look for it.

So if this is possible would be great, if not that is cool too. Very much appreciate all the help here has given me a lot more hope and some confidence too, but I do plan to practice a lot of this stuff in FATES when i can get back in before i try another dungeon, i think i was pretty lucky in the first one

finally one question about targetting and the side bars of the enemies.

Is there an order to how they appear to the left side of the screen..the agro bars?

is the boss first?

Are the enemies listed by alphabet in order of strength or just random?

ie is BOSS ONE given A

Sub Boss TWO given B....

and the helpers and minions down the list?

or is there another order? i have seen people reccomend just targeting by the alphabet but i was not sure if that would cover the boss too or where they will be? it is hard to target once the fight starts and there are enemeis all over the place. I had that problem in some of the story guests, one where we have to face about 15 enemies with a party of five on my side and i was supposed to target some Mages but i had no idea how to find them....and they kept getting me first.

thanks for any tips on this.
