"Dark Knight: Tanking On The Edge"

[KaitlanKela]

Thank you for taking the time to respond.

I really haven't played SMN at all. I really want to give the rotation the time it deserves instead of just jumping in and being a fail DPS and I haven't really made time for that. I'm leveling the tank because I've had a bunch of IRL friends join recently: help with low-level stuff + them always needing a tank = I'm leveling a tank now.

I am really enjoying tanking and DRK in particular. I do have to stay in grit a lot right now, but if I do I don't have any issues with enmity. I can use provoke effectively. All this to say that I'm prolly not the best at tanking, and I could use some more practice, but I would say that I am proficient in the necessities of the role (relative to my level, of course).

I have GLD 23 + MRD 26, and I did that before I touched DRK; it was the last one I picked up. I still need awareness. At what point would you say that it's critical I go back for it?

"Did you hate seeing tanks do it on your healer? Then don't do it."

Truer words have never been spoken.

Thank you!

ETA: Also, with the new changes coming in 3.2, you might want to mention under the Job Synergy section how much living dead is gonna suck for SCH. I'm still not sure how I'm going to deal with it. Sorry in advance if I kill you.
