Hi all,
All during HW I mained WHM (had BRD and DRK at cap, too, in order to help friends) but during ARR I loved playing tank, but hated when the 'speed run' mindset began to become a thing. I remember it mostly starting to be common around Brayflox HM, though people did it a lot even back on WP and AK once geared enough. However, I really do like the role and wish I could play it now in SB as a PLD, but wonder how people who have anxiety about tanking overcome it and/or ignore others who either complain about pulling slow (which would be probably what I'd do...one pack at a time) or pull too much?

Add to this that I have pretty bad social anxiety IRL and even though I love tanking, doing so these days makes it something I can only ever do in a group of FC mates or all friends. I wish I could do it with a group of pugs, but just the thought of random people going off on me for playing at a pace I'm comfortable is fairly daunting. Any hints/tips ideas to help me brave the wilds of tanking in SB in pugs? Thanks, your friendly shy and quiet tank-wanna-be ^_^v
