Just getting started tanking: Most efficient xclass order?

[Februs]

For example, convalescence. If I see that icon now I cast ALL the heals until it's over.

Glad to hear a healer say stuff like this. I can't express how frustrating it is as a Tank to use all of your CD's to maximum efficiency only to have the healer sit on their thumbs and completely ignore them. Convalescence and Divine Veil are by far the two worst ones, followed by Walking Dead. It totally sucks to see healers waste Divine Veil because they weren't paying attention to the icon before the raid wide dmg went out. Not much a Pally can do at that point except say: "welp... I tried."

Coalescence is both a healer and tanks best friend <3

And yea, trying at least 1 class in all each category definitely helps everyone gain a bit more perspective. Even as a DPS, I've learned some things I took for granted while being a tank. But it also makes you more aware of when other's are doing cringe worthy things...

And technically, Paladin forces you to do both healing and tanking :P But you could easily get to lvl 15 without ever really hitting the harder content with a healer ^^'
