Is Tanking Boring?

[Nedkel]

Neither is mitigation, threat, positioning, or "General raid awareness".

Of the list, all of those responsibilities are shared by every role.

- doing your own rotation as tank
- paying attention to the resources you have (DRK)
- keeping an eye on enmity of each player and monster, execute the enmity exchange between you and other tank in raid
- organising pace of the run (in dungeon)
- placing the pulled mob/boss into appropriate place and direction, keeping in mind the melee positionals
- Keep and eye on healer in case of danger use support ability to prevent him from dying
- know when and which deffesive cooldowns you have to use against each encounter or boss move
- execute run mechanics, dodge the red without mixing up too much your team position.

And on top of it, if dps will mess up his rotation it will not hurt the team as much as tank running around with boss or dropping his enmity, or tank not using his support skills which could have saved the run. There is no comparison in responsibility for both classes.

@edit
Also i want to add this.
Dps has their rotation more complicated and there is more depth in it, however its something you could learn your muscles in the hand to execute it almost automaticly, and after some time playing each job you dont have to memorise or even think about. Tanks on the other hand cant relay their work on the muscle memory, they have to constantly look around, watch healers, players, boss and what moves does it use and accordingly react to those factors all the time, each dungeon or alliance raid run is different from the earlier one, dps rotations doesnt change at all and thats their 80% of the work to do.
