I want to get this out of the way early; tanking hard content is hard. All hard content is hard which is why it is in fact hard.
Now with that said, I’m starting to think tanking is possibly the easiest role in this game. I love my paladin and gunbreaker as a former warrior main, but my rotations aren’t the end all be all of anything. My job is proper placement and using my defensive CDs at the correct time.
After playing nonstop dps I’ve never realized how much you guys put up with. I’ve always done things to keep the party/raid alive but thinking on it now I’ve probably done so many things to destroy peoples rotations and cooldowns that I just have to say sorry.
It may just be luck but I rarely seem to team up with ninjas, but I’ve come across a large amount of monks and samurais lately. Understanding just how important nailing their positional are has made so many dungeon runs and trials quicker. I keep an eye out now for more global buffs that dps gives and try to move less unless absolutely necessary.
Anyway long story short dps is nowhere near as easy as I and I’m sure many others think, especially melee dps.
Last thing. Shout out to dancers. Some of my fastest and cleanest runs have a dancer involved.
