Things to think about before you call someone "Bad"

I have social anxiety, I even retired because of it.

For some reason I don't understand myself, I am playing DRK. I really like the class. But the tankxiety is strong, even after playing it for 3 years now. I know it's considered bad gameplay, but I really need the comfort zone of my tankstance. I drop it occasionally at some dungeon bosses when I know them pretty well, but I usually don't have a good feeling about it.

My best advice would be to play 8 man content with a co-tank that you know. I don't have anxiety playing tank but I'm always a little uneasy in pug groups with a tank I'm unfamiliar with, but communication with your co-tank is always key, especially when you are dropping grit. Have them watch enmity as much you do, and give you a shirk when needed. Also use tools like anticipation now that you have access to them.

Even if not needed, using anticipation when dropping grit may help with the anxiety of dying, and watch your enmity closely and use a power slash when needed

Real talk, the worst that's gonna happen if you stay in tank stance is your damage will be low. In 99% of cases, it will not prevent you from clearing, even in EXs and some savages. If I'm hitting enrages, I'm gonna be looking at the DPS first and foremost, and then I'll be checking deaths and such.

It is sub optimal but I imagine you'd stay away from the content where it truly makes or breaks a run anyway so don't stress over it.
