That said a person that has anxiety tanking is someone who would enjoy the easy rotation, for those more seasoned tanks they can work on optimisations like every other class after all.

Often I think, this creates the most anxiety amond Players picking up a Tank Class.
Yeah, but I also think, that this can create some weird feeling among DPS Players picking up a Tank.
When something feels to easy to feel right and they start to ask themself if they really do it right or not and they start to feel unpleasent like they do something wrong, without noticing it.

I’m a little curious, what is causing this tank anxiety? What exactly is there to be worried about?

LOL well they are probably not using defensive CD or checking enmity or something anyway XD

Jokes aside I don't think that's a real issue for many. From my experience, which might be not a good representation of he masses IDK, most players think it's hard to keep enmity and full of responsibilities.

The leadership component is the biggest hurdle for me, personally. The tank is expected to lead the group in DF content at least, and if you're unfamiliar with the content or are still getting used to the job, you've automatically failed as far as a lot of people are concerned.

I don't find this true at all, at least in my experience.
Sure if you know the content well you can lead the group, but tanks have to learn too, if you're unfamiliar with the content or don't feel confident in the mechanics just say so, someone always steps up in the teaching part. If nobody knows the mechanics then it also doesn't matter.

So eitherway there's no harm.

I can understand and it's exactly what I mean with "responsibilities" after tanking for a while I can confirm it's just a fear people has but it's not a real thing in game, it's all about staying in front but you don't really lead anything.
