    Tank Specific guides?

    I already know every encounter from a DPS / healing perspective

    Tanking is very different from healing and DPSing, you need to know things like Possitioning and about tank swaps and one shot mechanics.

    most guides you have to watch 15 mins of video to learn 3 things that I tank should do all spread out, can anyone recommend a place to view guides specificly directed at tanks?

    Obviously I could just watch the regular videos like Mr Happy and MTQcapture or read basic guides for encounters but that would be 70% things directed at DPS / healers that I already know by heart and 30% what I actually needed, wasting a lot of my time.

    Thank you anyone who can give a kind answer aside from "Read between lines regular guides"

    Xenosys Vex is an amazing war and I quite like all the guides he's put out.

    If you need a guide for a fight from a tank pov there's a good chance he has one for you

    Xenosys Vex does really good tank PoV guides for every fights pretty soon after their release as well as awesome tanking guides overall. He's a very skilled player and I recommend every tank who don't know him to check his channel.

    Edit : Not fast enough lol

    Not on Tanks those are generally done by DPS players who do full blown out guides and breakdowns
    generally because the house rotations and different play styles that are not unique to tanking

    Tanking doesn't really require a ''guide'' as our rotations (even optimized) are pretty clear cut

    Tanking is more skill and ''knowing'' rather than being guided. I dunno me reading a PLD ''guide'' really couldn't help me
    v.s just learning encounters and what cool downs to pop at the right time etc.

    I can say this though

    -Learn the best time to use CDs (Not just because they're up)
