It got INFINITELY better after level 20, but up to that point? Brutal.

My main in this game is a healer- scholar to be exact, and I cannot express how much better of a healer I am because of that small amount of time tanking. I always knew that overhealing generated enmity, but I had no clue how much until I experienced the frustration of tanking with a conj who Medica spammed.

The first time you realize that, as a tank, you simply cannot generate as much enmity as an overhealing healer, you realize just how important it is to heal properly and not just throw heals out at random and them blame the tank when you get aggro.
I don't really need to play a tank to figure this out, because I have eyeballs, a working brain (I think...), and noticed the threat meter the first time I used Medica.

It's a running joke with my friends that they should just give Medica to tanks, because it works better than Flash to get threat!

P.S. You couldn't pay me to play a tank. That is the worst job, bar none.
