Is it getting harder for tanks?

It's a hard role to take on in general in terms of what you will inevitably deal with. Tanks deal with it all, and I had no idea how much until I did it myself. When tanks say, "What's in it for me?" I don't blame them one bit.

I used to think healing was for masochists. Nah. Play tank.

I honestly play tank becuase I find it easiest for most content (just not the 24 mans) it's easier for me to hold aggro while doing passable tank dps than to do the high dps expected of a dedicated dps class in hectic content. Probably becuase dps rely on even -more- buttons in their damage rotation than tanks do.

i am out-dpsing everyone in tank stance! :O

Yeah there was this one time in baelsar's wall back in HW where I was doing nearly twice the dps of the BRD in the group as PLD in shield oath lol.

That's understandable. That's pretty much the same reason why I tank as well, and it really isn't actual tanking that I find difficult. The difficulty I refer to is dealing with the brunt of the game's snobs. Because enmity control is a group effort, it is so easy for the other roles to make things exceptionally difficult for the tank if they are not cooperative, and then pin the blame all on him. Even though they are supposed to set the pace for a dungeon, they have a lot of pressure to pull big, and many are not ready to do that yet.

The role requires a HQ set of emotional armor that is for sure.

BTW, off topic for a bit, but I like your hairstyle. Where you get it?

It may be a racial Midlander Hyur thing if you aren't seeing it in the options when you talk to Super Ninja Barber. It's one of the defaults avaliable to me as that race at least.

Ahh, thank you! We're both Midlanders, and have access to all the same hairstyles. I don't change my hair often at all. So seldom I do that I didn't notice that there are ton of hairstyles available now since I last checked lol.

I guess I was fishing, and assumed that it was locked behind something I still have to do.
