Tanking is fun.. my gladiator is up around 23 i believe.. anyways.. its true.. boring as hell.. though as long as the dps do their job correctly, and the healer doesn't over-heal like a douche-bag, you'll be golden.. I'm a DPS Monk mainly.. though it's a pain in the ass.. it's not about grabing hate off of the tank, or anything like that.. i can try all day, and can't pull off of tanks.. simply because i don't spam stupid skills..

Addressing the archer issue.. they just have too many instant - individual cool downs.. which makes them tanks worst nightmares.. all you can do it hope they don't start shooting before you can pop your flash or atleast 1 savage blade / overpower depending on the tank..

in short.. it's more a test of teamwork.. tanks are only in short supply because many players choose to dish out the damage.. i'd rather live longer :P
