How to make tanking fun.

[Daniolaut]

Depends on why you find tanking boring.

Tanking is literally the exact same as any other melee class, except the enemy is facing you and you have to manage more concepts of the game.




Such as using defensive cooldowns and keeping the party safe from the boss. I.E. not facing the boss to the party when they are doing a cleave for example.

As someone who plays tank healer and dps, dps by far is the most boring as you only have to do your rotation and dodge/worry about half of what the tank does.

In fact, playing an off tank is only slightly less boring than a melee dps class because you only have to worry about any potential adds or tank swaps, which is the exact same mechanics as a melee dps except more.

So you cant possibly be referring to the amount of things you are faced with.

If its the low numbers you are bored with, try warrior. But in my opinion warrior is the most boring tank because I like staying busy and 90%+ of all of warriors actions are on the "global cooldown" making for some extremely slow gameplay. Which Paladin is much more enjoyable. Dark Knight as mentioned before, has the most off globals...

Dark Knight is a bad choice if the amount of "combos" you can do is the reason you are bored. Dark Knight only has Soul Eater. I strongly advise against ever using Power Slash, as there is no benefit to it if you arent severely undergeared.

So again it just comes down to why you are bored. You need to say what is boring for people to offer you suggestions.
