Because by god, I'm the indomitable walking suit of armor standing between 3 to 7 other schmucks and the sweet embrace of death.

That's only partial true. The healer controls the sway over the party's life and death.

But you keep thinking that, okay? It's cute.

You're both right. The tank cannot heal with an axe, nor can the healer tank with their face. If you think a healer alone is what keeps the party afloat...well, I have news for you.

This is my philosophy:
The Healer's job is to keep the party alive, while the Tank's job is to keep the party safe. On their own, both are relatively meaningless but when together is when the party thrives. A tad idealistic I know, but what's wrong with that?

I was just joking lol. I would be fked as a healer without a tank keeping those greedy baddies off my sexy ass.

Wait, why are you in this thread?

[VanilleFang]

The amount of people in this thread who can't take a joke is almost staggering. >_>

And there was no ego involved. I was making a joke?

I already answered the question before. I was just making a joking reply to someone else's post.

Don't let people get you down, Vanillefang. I thought your jokes were funny.

Anywho, why do I tank? There are several reasons. I healed for years and needed to try something different. I found tanking to be a nice break from healing.

It is totally different game than playing the other other roles. Your focus is in placing yourself in the best position while protecting the other three members and letting them they do their thing while being mindful of the encounter mechanics also.

It's nice to be needed. The plate armor and shield are great too. My lalafell woman looks good in it.
