What is Main Tanking?

By Gimmy Vincent

"Main Tanking is the position of greatest responsibility in any raid; it is a natural position of leadership. Personally, I classify several warriors as Main Tanks. In our case, Stag, Thinger, and Airknight are Main Tanks as of writing this. wow gold Open in a new window

Among the Main Tanks, there is a Lead Tank, which is the position I generally take as it corresponds with guild leadership. Main Tanking is taking absolute responsibility for raid mitigation through several methods: Funneling damage, removing damage, and controlling chaos. While each class has enjoyable and unique raid functions, from Hunter kiting to Rogue and DPS Warrior damage dealing, tanks take complete control of the actual battle. With the greatest risk comes the greatest reward -- and glory. Understand, however, that Main Tanking is the most stressful position. wow gold Open in a new window

kaufen You will wipe raids many, many times due to mistakes in pulling, positioning, tanking, and any number of unexpected issues. You will often feel overwhelmed upon encountering a new boss fight such as Razorgore where the sheer complexity seems impossible to overcome. You are also alone in this responsibility. wow gold Open in a new window

You will rarely have right to blame others for failings, and as such, should never take a stance that it is someone else's fault that you died.Indeed, this is very rarely the case: if you have any cooldown available on your hotbar, be it Shield Wall, Last Stand, or a Major Healing Potion. you are responsible for your own death. You are not merely a warrior who carries a shield. You are a leader. wow po Buck up, take the responsibility on yourself, take command. "
