    When I started Tanking on my GNB, I was used to the whole, "Pull 2 or more." groups of mobs, so I pretty much would pull entire rooms and keep going. Haven't been told to slow down, so win win I guess. I mean, we're tanks, our job is to take damage, use mitigation, and keep the attention on us. Tanks who want to take things slow-mo, need to make they're own parties of slow-mo players, no offense.

    I think its disrespectful to pull one pack at a time. Other people's time have value, and trash packs in dungeons are the one of the least fun shit in this game. Since I'd rather chew a cup of glass than spend 20 minutes mindlessly spamming my aoe rotation, I just quit whenever I get tanks that do this.
    Also if you want to "enjoy the beauty of the dungeons" as some people said, do it in explorer mode alone or with others that consent on losing their time, thank you.

    I am sorry, I am still learning to tank. I am use to my squadron who usually die when i pull too much. it takes time for me to learn, (but only have to deal with me in 1-51 dungeons i just hit 51 on my paladin but most of that was with duty support or squadron)

    the best way to learn is getting inside a FC, form a party with veteran tanks in it and having the patience to listen to them while running initial dungeons.

    The dynamics of squadron are very different. Not a good place to train tanking skills...

    This. I learned so much on tanking thanks to my FC leader.

    I think a big difference is those who come here from another MMO and pick up tanking, without knowing how different tanking is.

    I learned taking back in 2.0. Where aggro was difficult to keep and gear was your 'gatekeeper' in dungeons.

    I honestly also learnt tanking with squadron at first, cause I didn't have the courage to do it with real people. It's not ideal but it does help getting down the basics and getting used to the general role.

    Of course running with people you know, especially if they're experienced tanks, and being guided is a further level, but both thing can happen in the same period. The squadron will never teach you things like the importance of arm's length and when to use it, etc, but it can get your feet wet a bit and relieve some anxiety.

    tanks

    too all those picking on tanks when you set up a party be sure the tank your picking is up to the job if not you should have a list of the good ones you can count on meaning a fc house should have its own list to choose from if your puging it goog luck

    And we're all proud of you for doing the sensible thing and just "quit" rather than starting needless drama over not getting your efficient runs. I'm actually being serious.
