Tanking with controller

[Xenosan]

Aiming/swinging the camera/character so that the first 'TAB' selected target is 'aimed' at the one you want to target will help a lot ('A' on XBOX controller, 'X' on PSX); you'll want to focus on getting that down to the point where you can predict exactly which target that button will target first.

Cycling through enemies - want to try to avoid - since it takes longer, but when it's necessary it's very necessary (like when against large groups, or mid pull when enemies are chasing behind you and you don't want to turn to face).

Shoulder button tabbing is best once fighting because AAs will shift to each enemy tabbed through without disrupting AA sequence. That's a good thing if you're tabbing through enemies you're fighting, but you could aggro something or wake a slept enemy accidently also (more a problem for BRD/MCH) but at least be aware.
