    Since then I've leveled all my crafting classes to 50, but still don't want to join an AK group as a newbie tank. I'll probably level and gear a DPS class just so I can advance those quests.
    Jep, I can affirm that. As a Tank you really have the shitrole in this endgame. You have to do everything perfectly or people call you names there mothers would slap them for.

    But wait, if you leave as a tank then you'll be heralded as an asshole. I've had tons of shit DF's just due to the lottery of CM. I just get drunk and do it. Way better and not like you do much in CM other than spam flash and take trash mobs to the cannon.

    I find that the more I stress about the time the less I enjoy the game. So screw it. Drink, play, let everyone else pull their own weight and just be the mute flasher that I know you want to be.

    I might start macroing things that I would find myself most likely to say. Whether it be instructions or what, that way I can literally play 1 handed with the other on a beer.

    Drunken tanking is a viable strategy in this game? Tank jobs, here I come! (Former drunken tank from several other MMOs...so much fun.)

    It helps with the obnoxious people you run across in DF. Prae I'll definitely do with a good buzz. CM I can do while drunk. Spamming Flash until you run outta mp while your dps aoe's is definitely easy. Not to mention super easy single target rotations.
