Why no one tanks...

[Huginn]

First off, Lolo, it is quite offensive to use the quote function and replace it with your insulting interpretation of what someone posted.

Lolo, i was pointing out that your oversimplification of "just rip it off everyone with provoke" was not so simple when you have to move the mob a distance when it is already at max distance for provoke and shield tomahawk.

for lolo and juniglee: i guess i was overcomplicating specific times when a tank might have difficulty grabbing hate. Yes, of course you would always follow a provoke with either shield lob, tomahawk or overpower, that much is obvious to everyone. my response was to your earlier statement that provoke would "rip the mob off" of the other players. you oversimplified and in the case which i did not make proper reference to, namely king behemoth when you were previously on a tower and the main tank just died so you have to grab the boss now while everyone is in the middle of their best job at doing as much damage as possible and KB is already 3/4 of the way to the back of the arena where no one will permit you to place him to start tanking because they have the preconceived notion that he must be tanked only on the north side.

The entire point was that you are not always able to immediately follow up with an enmity combo due to max range of melee attacks

you must however be correct, based on one statement that you misunderstood, i am indeed a bad tank. Therefor, you should be as insulting as you can possibly be, without violating the terms of the forum.
