Tanking Turn 4

[Xandim]

Thanks for the input, I'll tell my healers to stay closer to me when P5/6 starts (im usually in the middle and the healers are more to the edges). I'll save Fight or Flight for that part too (at least I wont use it on P4) to generate more threat. I DID pass it once but it wasn't with my static, it was with a PUG (even tho 3 or 4 members were from my static group/FC members). Oh and i'll try to craft/buy Mega-ethers, since sometimes I lose track of my own mp for Flash (and even tho we do have a BRD, its always good to have a instant mp recover).

You shouldn't *need* to use cover at all for p4.

It's not that I NEED to use Cover on that part, I just find it easier to Cover the aggroed healer. I almost never use Cover, might as well use it at least once in my game life =P

This is all excellent advice!!! Thank you all. Hopefully we down it later this week and I can post a victory kill!

Love the community.

Ya, this sounds like your main issue. Healers should generally be on the back of the Dread (again sometimes depends on strat), or at least in the same area to have mobs easily gathered for tank. Running around tab targeting and trying to keep things in range simply won't work out well for just about anyone. Lol We keep our DPS and healers pretty organized in their positioning, and it makes for a very smooth fight.

Sorry if I came off snappy, I didn't mean it that way. I think using cover is actually smart if the situation arises, its just the situation arising usually means someone did something wrong to begin with. This might not even be you, but poor positioning like we are mentioning, leading to terrible tank threat gen and healers getting pummeled till the tank can pull out ahead.

Anyways, good luck on your group's T4, its a pretty fun fight once you get things rolling.
