tanks need to deal damage to keep threat/hate/aggro. a Drk uses their soul eater combo to help healer through self curing, as well as to build bloodgage and to help keep up their mp.

If you want more Tanks available in this game it isnt skills sets or moves that are causing it, it is literally the players themselves.

Until the mind sets are reset and we all work together DF will ALWAYS have long queues because tank players will only tank for those they get on with and trust.

i lost count lately how often my g/f had to leave/ got vote kicked recently from dungeons. she a good tank, yet ppl are being rude. One sch was pulling ahead of her in dusk vigil claiming he outgeared for the dungeon. during her first SB dungeon she drained herself from panic spam of unleash from the first set of mobs (the boat dungeon), and this rdm and sch just heckled her as they pulled her mp was zero. She tried to communicate, but they didn't care and kicked her.

she even got vote kicked outa a dungeon fir being surprised a healer drain mp after 2 pulls. :/
