Bulwark

If you feel that way, perhaps you aren't facing front against the mobs. Block/parry don't work if the attack is magical too. It is bound to block attacks during large pulls. For tank busters though, 100% reliability is for you to use Sheltron if you know it's going to hit you.

Why any tank would ever turn their butt to the boss is beyond me. Don't worry.

You also cannot block or parry while casting

Honestly, I was not aware of this. It's information like this that makes me not regret having to look like an idiot for asking these questions. Thank you kindly. =)

I think Enemy "gaze" types attacks will miss if you turn your back to them. Like a basilisk trying to turn you to stone.

Except for petrification mechanics and the likes, obviously.

Oh, does turning away still work on the boss in void ark though?

Yes, I was agreeing with you as well. This is however more on the topic of the effectiveness of Bulwark, which is what I primarily had in mind in relation to my statement on why no tank should turn their butt to the boss. Mechanics aside.
