DF Tank Experience

[RecklessLion]

Hmmm for the you pull it you tank it comment becareful with it. Worst case dps pulls keeps aggro and tank. Kind of makes you useless since the dps damage is waaaaaaay higher then ours when use correctly. So keep that in mind. Also as a tank it's our job to keep an eye on the emnity. Dps are not paying attention to the hate meter they're too focus on their rotations to worry about that. While all we as tanks should worry about emnity, cd when need, and then proper rotation for optimal damage. If dps is too high man up and tell the dps sorry you're out damaging my aggro. But even when I was low on ilvl never really had a problem keeping aggro no matter what the content was.

With the words "keep an eye on" it kind of makes it sound like it's something you only do as a secondary thing because you are busy focusing on other things. As far as I'm concerned "keeping an eye" on the enmity is the first and most important thing any tank should be doing. I'm talking specifically about dps who think it's a good idea to put themselves at the top of the list at the start

Also as far as I'm concerned any dps (or healer) who has the mentality "I'm too busy focusing on my rotations to look at my threat level" is just bad. This is really where your comment about "keeping and eye" on the enmity applies. Before they do an action they should be asking themselves...is this going to make me pull hate and therefore should I switch targets or back off a sec from aoe's etc.
