Question: How do you tank?

[Violet_Galaxy]

So..I'm normally a healer (SCH) whose secondaries are dps (Monk, "SMN", and working on MCH). My FC lead wants to know if I can pick up Warrior to be an off-tank for him sometimes since he has a fully geared DRK (main) and PLD (rarely used) already.

Thing being is I've only ever "tanked" once as a drk in PoTD some 2 years ago or so and had no idea what in the world I was doing. I have a marauder at lv 12 from back when you needed it to become a rogue, but I never did a ton with it since I played it as another dps class.

But how do I go about playing what's basically the complete opposite of what I normally do as well as knowing that I'll need new placements and such?

Grab the enemies
Turn them away from the group
Count to the three (Your combo. Not literal counting.)

Hall of Novice is really good at teaching the bare bones basics of tanking.
