Fave and Least Fave

[Erin_Avent]

Fav: being a wall that stops the damage from reaching my allies... with the help of a competent healer of course

Also being first on the boss's "must kill first" list is a big plus

Least fav: my first party as a tank, the healer that tries to DD and got me killed 6 times in Sastasha because he wanted to cast Fluid Aura and Stone instead of curing me. I died on the very first mob group of bats... I was able to hold hate all of the time except when I'm dead or when the "healer" spams Medica, but after the 6th death, I had to rely on the Arcanist to heal me up. Also a pain when the healer spams Medica over a slight scratch on him or her or limit breaking when only 2 people aren't even at 50% HP.

I was originally the healer of the groups I've been in, so I didn't know the terrors until recently... My rant can go further... but I'll wait for when the lodestone is up and blog about it >_>

[Kryzen]

Favorite Part: Everything about the class: armor, skills, etc.

Least Favorite: Boss Mechanics are pretty plain... and the camera view haha.

[Djinnrb]

Fave: Insta queues, Being a leader

Least fave: People blaming me for their mistakes.


Im glad people arnt complaining about Topaz Carby. IMO it only helps keep your HP from going down, it helps keep adds off dps/healer even more... (it also does an nice AOE on low CD)

My favorite thing is running in first and hitting all the things. Least favorite is when I die first.


...actually let me change that, my least favorite is getting blamed for other players mistakes. Which is why I much prefer to stick to playing with my LS/FC. They know my style, and put having fun over everything else. That's not to say I don't screw up, I know I'm not the best player out there. When I screw up, I own it, and I expect everyone else to do the same.

[Elebreth]

Fav: Being able to keep the fight organized, knowing that I am crucial to a positive experience for everyone!

Least Fav: When you go through the pain of painting signs on your mobs only to have the DPS ignore them and just spasm around hitting anything that moves.

[LunarRei]

Fave: DPS gets themselves killed and the healer and I manage to finish a boss alone (happened a couple of times in Cata... so fun)

Least: The stress. I enjoy the responsibility but not the stress that comes with it. Usually only happens in PUGs.

[Sixteen]

Favorite: Leadership role. I like having the most power in dictating how the fights will play out.

Least: The 2.5 GCD, not that it's tank specific but I just can't get used to it.

[Azrealle]

Fav: The heavy armour, super sexy on a Lala

Least fav: DD who feel the need to show off their CC/Kiting skills and go one-on-one with a mob during a group pull, rather than doing their jobs and dps'ing the marked target.

[Godhand-Sol]

Least favorite thing about tanking: Only seeing a monsters legs and missing out on a cool looking fight

I agree with this 100%. So many years raiding and so much time being stuck between the legs of giant bosses. /cry

Favorite thing - Wrestling hate with awesome dps. Don't get me wrong, no one likes overzealous dps. But when they're good and and you're on top of your game as well. That tension is kind of exciting to me.

[Strata]

Fav: The ability to hold hate, protect allies and taking hits from something 10 times bigger than you.

Least Fav: Idiots who try to pull hate from me and get themselves killed.
