New To Tanking, Need Tips.

[BillyCuth]

I just started playing the game on Friday. I am up to level 25 marauder. Didn't realize there were roles or what the roles might be. Haven't played any kind of MMORPG in a long long time and also made the mistake that I was all about DPS.

I don't know what half of the abbreviations in this thread mean yet... But I did get my first "congratulations on being the worst tank ever" comment last night. Lots to learn.

Can someone explain what Aggro means?

Aggro = how much an enemy wants to attack you (as opposed to how much they want to attack your friend). Similar to "Aggression".

For further details I'll quote myself:

Agro is a score. Every enemy keeps track of a score for every person in your group. Highest score is the person that gets attacked. That score changes all the time.

Billy, I saw in your other post that you are on Malboro. Look me up if you want advice/help in game.
