Question by a fledgling scholar

Three tips to make your early dungeon life a little easier:

First up, communication wins the day, a simple 'Hiya, kinda new so go easy thanks <3' or such goes a long long way, most tanks short of the occasional bot will understand something on par with that and slow things down a tad to suit.

Secondly, if you feel like you're struggling, break things down and keep it as simple as possible, eye for an eye is kind of weak right now so I wouldn't put a huge amount of stock in it anymore. Rather focus on positioning yourself well and keeping the tank upright comfortably for the initial hit of the pull, once the tank is positioned with the mobs you want to focus on gauging the incoming damage whilst moving yourself into a position where you're ready to keep up with them once they sprint off for the next pack. Once you've got a feel for how much damage is coming in, then you can start working towards that bane. Remember that whilst DPS is very delicious gravy, keeping that tank upright and the run smooth is the meat and potatoes of the run. In short: Gauge the incoming damage > Position yourself properly > start DPSing. With practice you'll get significantly faster at this process, but progress at your own pace, not anyone else's.

Lastly, sprint sprint sprint. Try to use sprint out of combat where possible, and importantly, try to synchronise it with your tank. I find that if my roulette tank never sprints, I rarely do either now. It slows me down a little perhaps, but it keeps things safe as there's literally nothing worse in 4 mans than a tank shooting off into a dangerous pull leaving you with no way to keep up or catch up.
