Tanking tips, dos and donts

[Nukocafe]

So in retrospect, my question is, what you do when adds come over? focus them so you get them? leave them to their own shenanigans?

I always just -> see ads -> run over and flash them to myself and bring them back to boss.
DPS kill the 2 imps then run to my mob of crap and DPS down the mob. By now you should have enough aggro on the boss that if you run to the ads, he'll just follow you.
During the imp phase, the boss is invincible anyway so you attacking him is pointless, may as well just grab those ads

The tamtara boss room basically taught me that soon as I see guys spawn immediately run and flash/lob/whatever them. The earlier you can get them the easier it will be to keep aggro.
Once they've aggroed someone else for a while, it's really hard & annoying to get it back.

I am also new to tanking. I just got my relic this past weekend but I've gotten a lot better than my early derping days in Sastasha lol. I think the best place to really make use of most of your tanking skills is in Stone Vigil. So if you're brave enough to challenge that give it a go. Otherwise the level sync really hampers your class and it feels like all you do is spam shield lob and flash everywhere.
