What makes tanking fun?

[AnjouMaaka]

“Those times it would be a big time save”

So never

Seriously for a bit I was content to ignore this thread but god damn guys “I’m a solo god who can ignore my party in a trinity game” should not be a desirable endpoint

You know what I like about tanking- agro management, protecting my party, maybe even dying for them, keeping the boss on me while my party does other important things, pulling damage on to myself from them

Do people seriously enjoy being immortal with zero actual challenge behind it. Like tanks aren’t even immortal because of gear or skill, they are literally just immortal because they exist

That's literally the reason people mod other games like Baldur's Gate 3 and Factorio. So they can feel like a god. Because that's what they find fun. It's also like the only skill expression that tanks still have that's actually meaningful and sometimes helpful. Not all tanks have the guts, much less the knowledge needed, to pull off the solo finish of a dungeon boss.
