About co-tanking

[Neela]

the problem nowadays is u can't tell who's mt just looking at the stance - since war mostly tank in dps stance for cleaves even if they take the MT position. since they "balanced" the tanks its mostly War>Drk>Pala for MTs in casual grp content so - until 5.0 u shouldn't maintank that often in 8 grp content. aside of that no matter which tank you get paired with u will often face bad enmity control on mt-side (to greedy for dps) or heal aggro from spammed hots (brain dead healer). so being a pala knowing you are generally the offtank didn't prevent you to keep your eyes open and train reflexes for an emergency provoke/ultimate to save the day if needed - else focus on your dmg rota and shield/def-support. ^^

Playing Pala as Offtank is kinda fun tho... you got massiv CDs and a Skillgauge which make u nearly unbreakable on the fly, u can cheat mechanics and aoes easily - and those who don't want to freak out can optimize dmg mig and support with shield/block-skills.

nvm hope u will enjoy HW and SB like u did with ARR - all the best :3

edit: oh and about ultima weapon in msq dng... it will always aggro a healer until its guard is broken by hydelyn. there are several bosses who comes with auto-enmity or enmity-reset later in the game - u will get used to those as well, tho he actually was aware of it - its not worth to atk the big boy for the first 10+ seconds ;3
