Tanking 101 for Mellified - Tuesday 7 October - 1900GMT

Post by Floryn »

Hey all,

Mellified wants to try tanking NMs, so we are trying to set up a group to do that. It would be good if we could have an experienced tank taking up another role in the group but giving Mel pointers per boss. Depending on the assumed role of the experienced tank we can fill up the group. We will start at Polaris and see how far we get.

Please sign up below if you are interested in joining. Just to be sure: this is all about teaching Mel to tank, so the others in the group will need to understand that a bit of waiting while things are explained will be part of the run.

1. Mellified (tank)
2. BrokenPieces (healer - exp tank)
3. Katelin (dps - exp tank)
4. Durendal (dps)
5. Floryn (dps)

I'd like to join as a second tank. Can leech or DPS.

I'm happy to come along as DPS. Would also be good for me to finally learn how to stay alive in penulitmate fight in Polaris as not-the-tank :p

I can heal (both leech or fist/blood if needed for added survivability) or noob my way around being a dps.

How about we do the things were not the best in. :) It would be nice practice for all, especially with Primodrial Dweller.

Lol, I meant I can try to fist heal - never done it before. Got purple drops ranging from 10.0 to 10.4 and deck in gear manager that I am eager to try. But I can DPS if no one feels lucky :)

I guess us all trying out roles we aren't so familiar with is a great idea.. though we might be in Polaris for 3 hours :p

I have given you all some noob roles (if I read all correctly). I will be the pillar you can lean on (ahem...). :mrgreen:
