The methodology of tanking
Posted 02-01-2009 at 07:07 PM by Nicki
A few months ago I made a post on the tanking forums got a few good responses and listened to what was being said however I want to take it further.
My aim is to construct something that brings about the basicness of tanking so that it can be learnt quickly by anyone aswell as additional understanding of how other roles as a tank work.
Problem #1: Tanking isn't simple
Problem #2: People don't read forums in large
So the dilemna is who am i reaching if those im aiming at are not reading?
But for those few that find it useful I guess that makes it all worth while right?
Anyway HERE is the post, its not designed to superseed or displace anything already written but rather give a method and meaning to tanking aswell as give people the understanding of what it means to be a tank (for instance leveling my DK alt and tanking some instances has been good despite not reading up on the tanking side of DKs).
Any suggestions even if its to just scrap it as a really bad idea would be appreciated.

It's a great idea. It's easy to say that those who suck are those who don't read, but having the compiled resources there allows people who are new to tanking to pick up the general idea in 5-10mins of reading. I usually don't direct people to EJ, because while the information quality is good, it's all over the place (excepting the guides).
Someone who has an idea of what s(he) should be doing learns much more effectively than someone who's just blundering through, even if the latter is actively trying to be better.
My friend who's new to WoW thanks you for the contribution.
