The Tank and You! Part 1: Damage Dealers

[geopenguin]

Agree about communication. Was in dungeon yesterday and swear someone other than tank was marking mobs as he would continually be on #2 or #3 while we were on #1.

You know its funny. There are generations of MMO players and many many MMOs that were released through the years. Yet every time new MMO comes out you have to explain all this to most of the people in PUGs like they've never played any MMO before...

I'm going to fix up the first post soon enough and add all the helpful tips others have given. If there are any questions about group play that people have, leave it in here and it'll get addressed and placed onto the first post.

Thanks for all the feedback folks.

I'll start this thread up soon enough CrisGer, I'm noticing alot of people (In-game and out) wanting to see this. There are hints and tips within the Forum section for Tanking Roles. However, New players usually can't post in there or many are too busy posting about higher level content in there. So I'll be pulling information from across the forums and different people to help build a general guide in the New Player Forums

yea thats why i mention 'tanks target'
the default key is T which you can use to toggle back and fourth between the tank and its current target.

I made a very simplified version of what you're going for here for people who are completely new to MMOs in general (i.e. I wouldn't recommend it much to anyone over level 25) a week or two ago if you want to include a link to it in your main post for newbies.

Nice thread!
