Today marked my first time tanking in the game!

I thought I was queued as DPS, but ended up being assigned the tank role. As an incompetent paladin, I was terrified of disappointing my team initially. Thankfully, everyone was incredibly kind - guiding me on picking up enemies, even pulling mobs for me! I'm immensely grateful to my teammates, though I probably caused them unnecessary damage. Is this game more focused on pulling enemies one by one? The elite mobs here have such high health pools that my WoW tanking experience didn't apply at all. I've decided to seriously study proper tanking now - my paladin and warrior WILL become reliable haha!

Also, I noticed everyone congratulates each other on level-ups here. This celebratory culture doesn't exist in MMOs from my country - before max level, we're all strangers. I just learned "grats" means congratulations (I always thought it was "great"!). This game's community warmth amazes me. Thank you, all players, for making this experience so special.

good thing you went in as a tank as a Pally. They would of removed you from the group had you told them you was a dps Pally.

Yes, you normally want to pull mobs one by one, but if your group has a monk or enchanter they may do the pulling for you. They have skills that make it easier to pull single mobs. As a tank all your there to do is make the mob look at you and no one else. That's it. The team will keep you alive the others will kill it, you just retain its focus.

Yes when you hear the level gain noise you will normally get congrats from everyone nearby since gaining levels is a huge deal in this game. Also if you don't know what your doing ask for advice. No one wants to die in this game, so they will help you if they want to live. Plus almost everyone I've met in game has been super nice and helpful.

Keep up the good work and you'll be the best tank out there. Well Paladin or Warrior tank, because I'm the best Dire Lord tank there is and ever will be.
