Good tanking is a skill often overlooked. Some even might consider tanks masochistic. Frequently tanks are subject to being the first to be blamed, and the last to be praised, and it is not until people are thrown into extraordinary circumstances where they are stuck playing with an exceptionally poor tank that they realize how skilled the better ones are.
For me, playing a character that specializes in tanking is more than just absorbing damage for a group ranging from 5 to 25 people; it’s about obtaining the best gear, researching or proving the best ways to gear, being dependable, knowledgeable, improving my reaction speed, finding and working with the best strategies for the overall success of the raid.
It’s been a long and arduous journey going from a newbie to an experienced/competitive player, but it’s been exhilarating the entire way.
