We Need to Start Expecting Mid-Level Sprouts to Play Better

[Delis]

Your problem. You can be in the 87 dungeon and still be new enough to not know how to tank properly. Learning to tank well is something that takes people years.

Ahh no. By 87 you should know how to tank well in this game. Tanking in this game is way to simple and easy. In all seriousness it is the easiest role. By level 87 you should know by now how to run into a pack of mobs then run to the next. Stop, set up shop by using a mitigation (Reprisal, arms length and your invuln should be used as well.) Start by using your invuln on the first wall to wall pull. Then go to reprisal or arms length, while spamming your 15 second mit. You should be spamming your AoE rotation as well to make sure you are hitting all mobs. Things are dead, you run to the next pack then the next, stop at wall, set up shop buy using your 30%mit then arms or reprisal, again things should be dead now. Move to boss. Kill boss then move on to the next group of mobs and repeat what you did from the start of the dungeon, minus your invuln because it is most likely not up yet. That is tanking. That is it. Nothing more than that. People need to stop acting like tanking in THIS game is hard. Once you start doing big boy pulls you will learn they are actually way easier than doing single pulls. You can actually run out of mits by doing single pulls if you mistime usage. Cool downs on mitigation skills work out a lot better on wall to wall pulls. Just be sure to let your healers know when you plan on using your invuln. If you are with a white mage, wait till after they used Holy a few times and the mobs are immune to stun.
