Tank Appreciation Thread

[Iagainsti]

yyep. I used to get tons of comms when I was taking things slow and learning the role. Now that I'm proud of how well I handle runs , I rarely get comms even though I'm still friendly and don't ever have the wipes or aggro issues I did once upon a time and oftentimes outparse even the actual dps I'm running with.

Endgame tanking truly is a "tankless job". :/ even when things look crazy and you handle cd's perfectly to pull through, dps just assume the healer did an awesome job and give them the comm.

1600 comms and counting<

Usually the DF rule of thumb is tank/healer swap comms, and the dps swap comms. If you think the healer is ninja'ing your comms for your hard work, you need more flair. Throw some emotes in, heck I've macro'd Brutal Swing to throw a firework in the air, if anything to stand out and show this is a piece o' cake for me. Truth is, like bartending, tanking is more about the impression you leave than the service you provide if you want to get the best tip. Good Luck
