Tank Mechanics

[Ashkendor]

My FC finally talked me into trying a tank so I decided to give it a shot but I had a couple questions:

What are common tanking mechanics in IV other than "move out of the giant orange thing on the ground"

Is there anywhere I can read up on on fights that has something like a tanking quick reference that would tell you when to use cool down or where to tank mobs etc.

Thanks!

The fact that you're asking this stuff means you're gonna be better than at least half of the tanks in DF.

There's a lot of good advice in this thread already about general stuff. ^^
