I really can't lol I knows it's weird my friend tells me to just tank them too but I get bad anxiety and very anxious cuz I don't know the fights or mechanics. I waited to do them until my bard got high enough and do them like that when we do it so I can relaxI wouldn’t worry. People die all the time in alliance. Sometimes whole parties wipe due to healers dying. If people cared, they are the wrong sort of people whose opinions you should give any weight. Throw yourself in there and tank it
But on a personal note, I have more respect for tanks who off tank the little mobs in trash floors than I do for ones who fight over the main singular mob




Cape Westwind - 8-man Vs Rhitahtyn Arvina
Listening and reading a 5 minute explanation of the mechanics...just to kill him in about 10 seconds.
The Memberberries.....but at least we got alot of good WoW refugee Memes out of it before it got reworked into a Solo Instance.
I also loved getting this fight in Level Roulette when I just wanted quick Tomes and EXP.




If any boss got a major glow up with the rework...it's this guy. I fought him recently and the dude is such a badass and I actually regret killing him.Cape Westwind - 8-man Vs Rhitahtyn Arvina

If you don't know what they have done with his fight...you should look it up.
Or better yet, do the NG+ thing and replay that section of the MSq. It's absolutely worth it for that solo duty.



It's always funny being a veteran healer and asking baby tanks to pull more.
I'll give healer a try up until level 100. If I do not like it, I'm off the role, entirely.Was this what Yoshi P wanted for people like me? Did he assume we were too foolish to take any semblance of complexity? How could such an allegedly open developer act so dismissive towards his own players? The flavor of the jobs I loved so much throughout the franchise were mere husks of themselves. What was once a magical world peeled away to reveal a sterile room of four walls. No imagination, no challenge, only accessibility for the sake of it. I didn't feel welcomed, I felt betrayed.
Keeper of the Lake. The GNB was clearly new to game and tanking... She was grabbing aggro by using her 123 combo on each mob but since that wasn't enough she kept losing aggro.
I haven't played GNB in months and wasn't sure which was the starter AOE(Slice or Slaughter) for it so I took a guess "to aggro all, I think you need to use Demon Slice". Turns out I was right because she started using it right after.



Just tell them to use their AoE. Sprout, no sprout it's honestly baffling whenever I find a tank who doesn't know that they have AoEs in high level dungeons. Then they proceed to get salty when I call them out. You can tell me I'm toxic, but do players seriously look at the AoE button they get at level 6 and think "Nah, I don't know what that button does nor do I care."Keeper of the Lake.
