Tank anxiety/new tank thread

[SuperNoob]

Just got my Paladin to 70. Indeed I do have some anxiety yet too. Endgame is going to be more hard than dungeon. Tankbuster, tank swap and doing enough dps off tank stance while Mechanic.

Listen: Tanking is the sweetest gig in a raid. It's easy. Here's a three point plan of attack to end your worries.

1. Tank Buster: Pop a cooldown. You don't need to use cooldowns when the boss is just auto-attacking. Hell, since you're a Paladin, you can just heal yourself.

2. Tank Swap: TALK TO THE OTHER TANK BEFORE THE FIGHT STARTS. Agree to have each other call for swaps so you don't have to stare at each other's health meters and can just dps. Set up a macro for it. When he taunts off you, shirk him. When you taunt off him, have him shirk you.

3. DPS-ing: Dpsing is not hard. Just go to Youtube and learn a rotation, then spend a couple hours pounding on a dummy and working it into your muscle memory. Nothing to it.

Above all, tanking is supposed to be fun. If it's seriously giving you anxiety, play another role. Don't do something that freaks you out.
