How to make tanking fun.

[Burningskull]

I've been trying to get use to tanking in preperations for Gunbreaker. I've only been using PLD but even when OTing I'm bored out of my mind.

Any suggestions?

OP... there's your answer.

Get into DPS optimisation, like any class trying to stay aligned with raid buffs, snapshotting your dots ect. As OT try doing stuff like cover mitigating tank busts, paying attention to when raid wides happen and mitigating them with reprisal and other skills. In dungeons on things that arn't pally dropping tank stance in trash pulls to pump out dps can be pretty fun. I agree with the post above me though, despite drk having 1 dps combo, having high apm and thinking about best times to dump mana and gauge and build gauge to take advantage of buffs is quite fun.

Play DRK. (3rded)

Seriously, it's a lot busier and more involved than PLD. I used to main PLD and switched to DRK ASAP.

Agreed. (4thed)

DRK is definitely more interesting. I lost interest in PLD pretty fast. I don't really know what they did to it, because I enjoyed it back in HW at lvl 60.

I think it because they removed rage of halone’s strength debuff. Also I agree, I loved paladin a lot back in HW, even went through the trouble of getting its anima weapon. It was a lot busier back then with it’s management of its dot and strength debuff and using royal authority for dps. Now it just feels less... involved unless you’re OT’ing I guess. I honestly just moved on to WAR, and I’m just waiting to see how they’ll go about fixing DRK(if they even do) when Shadowbringers comes out.

I disagree a bit. Yeah we lost the ROH debuff, but we gained requiscat > holy spirit spam, so I feel like all in all pld is more involved than in HW.

While Paladin is the last MT in the current state... it’s the worst one to get used to tanking at all in the end... i would claim Drk as well.

Tanking is already fun.
