Tank skill gap, should SE do more? (damage taken issues/ hate issues)

[Leigaon]

At the very LEAST have tips IN GAME that gives tips how to space defensive CDS and the fact THEY NEED TO BE USED!!! not when one is low in HP or depending a healer to heal everything. Currently the average DF tank is too hard/ stressful to heal...

There's..already so many in-game ways for you to learn your job. Nothing else can be done that will change that. I remember doing the Gladiator quest-line. I've never tanked in any MMO before and I was too stubborn to ask for help. I failed it a few times because I kept just DPS'ing the guys. Through reading tool tips on the abilities I had and getting some clarification on some things I didn't understand, I was able to go back and finish the quest no problem. That quest stood out to me because I understood more how to hold hate.

So, some quests do prepare you for your job and just simple things (proper rotation for example) but GuildHests did a lot too.

Basic Training: Enemy Parties & Under the Armor. Both have wonderful concepts and teach you. The problem, is these concepts can be ignored and result in no one learning anything.

Lets take now the Hall of Novice where they actually tell you what you should / could be doing in a party as a certain role. They even say healers dps if you're comfortable and meet these requirements.

The game does a great job to teach, you can always ask questions. What this game can't do is make someone care, no matter how much you adjust it. This goes for healers / tanks / dps. You're right to be frustrated.
