Starting to understand the Zen of Tanking

[Guest]

There is an interesting thread on the official forums about the Zen of
Tanking.

I recently started a tanker (Stone/Axe), and while I was playing last
night, started to understand what it meant.

I had one of the first PP missions (kill 10 CoT). I couldn't find a team
(not even any PCSAR were on!!!) and decided to try the groups by myself.

So I jump into a group of 9 mobs, all -1 and -2 to me (I was L12), turned
on Mud Pots, and just sat there, watching the little numbers roll up, hand
near the mouse, fingers on the keyboard ready to react.

It took a while, but my little tanker killed them all, with only one or two
attacks needed to take out a Lt.

You should try a Invul/Fire tanker with max slotted Combustion after he gets
Invincibility AND Stamina! ;-)

No matter how many times you save the world, it always manages to get back in jeopardy again.
Sometimes I just want it to stay saved! You know, for a little bit?
I feel like the maid; "I just cleaned up this mess! Can we keep it clean for... for ten minutes!"
