Thread: To all 3.0 Tanks

I am on a phone so I can't quote well but I agree about good tanks not breaking line of sight to the healer. Sometimes I will have a tank pull themselves into some corner or behind something for whatever reason. When you are holding a large amount of trash mobs, it only takes the brief moment for me to adjust to gain sight of you again for you to die. Benediction is "instant" but not really instant so please don't be counting on that to save you

Well, I can explain why they go around a corner, or behind something. I play Healer as my main, and I tank when i feel it (quite good at it I might say), but the reason for the going around a corner etc with a large mob is to pull each mob into a tight group, making it easier to burn them all quicker. It's adding onto your point when it comes to wanting to move faster. As healers, we need to be able to anticipate this, so we can adjust and ensure the tank stays alive when they're doing this.

Okay.

There is nothing more to say.
