Hello everyone.

I have been tanking for a few years now,in fact since the launch of Heavensward.
Despite knowing the rotations back to back, that alone does not make a good tank. There are many other nuances that allow you to do a better a job, namely awareness of your party and what can you do to make their experience smoother.

These are the tanking tricks and tips that every tank should know.

(Dungeons) Although you may be over geared and very knowledgeable in the dungeon your currently doing, ( I.E expert roulette) it's good idea to pause and look at your party comp. You might have two melees, or magic mixed with melee, or even dual magic casters. This is can be indicative of how long your dungeon will take.

Pay attention to your healer, this is a pretty big one. Remember not all healers like big pulls, there are many skill levels and variations of healers that you encounter out there. You have a couple of options. First you can ask the healer directly if he/she wants big pulls or smaller ones. This is a great way to ensure that the dungeon will run smoothly. Always keep an eye on your healer’s mana pool. You can prevent a wipe or even a dps death or two by using this method.
