Dear Tanks

Please, PLEASE, get some DPS accessories! It's your job to do damage and kill people, not hold aggro on a boss and mitigate attacks. If I see another PLD with Tank accessores and Shield Oath up, I'm gonna scream.

First I have ever heard of this. I've been tanking since release. Kinda hate that I'm the first to respond to this how to tank thread. Lol

If you tank the bosses then sure.

He means in PvP.

[BrandoH]

Yeah, I'm totally talking about taking bosses in the PVP subforum. -_- You're JUST the kinda people I was talkin about.

"im gona harass heals"

Proceeds to smack all sleeping targets, gets kited by the healer for 4 minutes, and ends the game with under 1000 damage done.





In just under 300 games played I haven't been Covered by a PLD once. At this point I consider any tank who can go a whole game without breaking a 30s sleep to be legendary status.

[Rawkzor]

Oh man Nenin, I agree. I watch streams of others playing, and I see so many DPS and tanks smacking all the sleeping targets. In their defense though, it's been very rare to see WHM/BLMs mark the target they are casting sleep on. Just making a macro to mark the sleeping target, and say in party that you are sleeping a target should help reduce this.

Drat, I just bought HQ PvP "tank" gear to prepare myself for more PvP, including accessories. Besides what was already mentioned, does anyone have any more tips for a paladin tank in PvP? I feel very much like a fish out of water. I'm used to being the one under attack, but in PvP no one attacks me unless I'm the last man standing. I'm used to building hate, but in PvP there is no hate! Any suggestions on how I can fill my new role? Very much appreciated!

Build player hate by throwing out stuns on anyone who isn't already asleep or rooted. Then proceed to slap the healer repeatedly, until he sprints away crying. When you get to that point, just jump on the current kill target, while glaring at the healer threateningly, letting him know that you can shield lob and jump back on him at a moments notice. Keep that fear instilled deep in his heart.
