Dear Yoshi P Tank Mount will not help....

[Zumi]

Depends on the fight. For example Garuda EX MTs definitely is more difficult than the rest of the roles. The game overall isn't difficult but tanks have more things to pay attention to usually compared to dds.

I rather tank garuda extreme then dps it. Don't have to worry about stuff like doding wicked whirl hit a cooldown and eat it.

Tanking is not difficult 3 button rotations with hitting cooldowns when you need them. Its much easier then dps I would say who have way more complex rotations.

my bard has 3 buttons . 2 dots and 1 macro that does everything , I could make some complex rotation but im not a nerd.

on the other hand my tank has a crap load of buttons because those buffs actually should be used right

Probably because you done the fight enough as a tank that you're more comfortable with tanking it. The majority of tanks I've seen doing Garuda have a terrible time doing the fight compared to the dds.

There's a reason why dds make up an enormous percentage of the mmo population. It's a lot more relaxing and simple to play compared to support roles.

ppl expect tanks to know encounters perfectly

Try to tank garuda extrem w/o knowing how it works (spiny plume ,what add to taunt....where stand in tornados phase....)

now try garuda extreme as DPS or even healer

try to tank CT ! the most BORING thing ever....ok look at mee im an awesome tank........let me show u how powerfull im....touching this tower OVER AND OVER.....

[Zumi]

Problem with CT is you don't need 6 tanks the most of the time you only ever need is 3 max, leaving the other 3 with pretty much nothing to do.

[Galand]

Really? Oh we will give them a mount! That will want to make people tank with the already crappy tanking system

[jomoru]

If they want more tanks they need to bring out a dps role to either Gladiator or Marauder thus actually giving a dps spec the option to with a switch of their soul stone to become a tank for the short queue times without it being an detriment to level another class all the way to 50.

or add a tank option to Pug, Lancer, maybe thaum

[Zakalwe]

Only the blind from Flash can be resisted - the aggro effect always works as long as the skill goes off. But yeah, early on it's really hard to hold aggro off equally or better geared DPS. That will change once you get access to the third hit in your enmity combo, though.

...and your tanking stance at lvl40.

Where was it posted again that you will just need to level a Tank to get the special mount? I've never read such thing. Mind linking it to me? Or this whole thread is just pure BS.

Read Yoshi's live letter yesterday. He doesn't say how one would actually get a tank-only mount, but folks speculate acquiring might be like the whm-only mount.
