Hey all, I started tanking for the first time last night and I really enjoyed it.
Things didn't really go too bad. My health dipped low sometimes, but everyone but me was typing a lot and just kind of letting me do my thing and figure things out. And the SMN ripped from me a couple of times but I would usually pull back after a couple hits. Don't have Provoke Yet, waiting until 30 to get GLD to 22. I'm going WAR btw.


My questions are this.

Is tanking skill acquired mainly from practice and patience, or will a tank know if he is good or not pretty much at first?

When is the best time in an average trash pull to use cool downs to minimize healer stress?

What is the average ideal positioning in relation to the party?

Any Feedback is appreciated.
