Tanking is easy.

Even now when all the bosses have 30 different attacks and effects, Tanking is easy.

If you have some gear and can move out of circles at your feet and know where your taunt keybind is, anyone can tank.

Being the tank means doing things at your own pace.It means you are always in the right place even when you are not. You have a bit more control of the situation.

If you have a desire to tank and have never tried. GO DO IT.

And practicing in PVP BG's where no one cares if you are good or bad is an awesome idea.

Another practice idea is to go solo dungeons you completely out level.

Doing RFC at L40 solo to practice pulling and seeing what different mobs do will help you get into the swing of things.

Tanking is easy.

RE: Solo tanking low level dungeons.

You may have to tone down your weapon, use a vendor weapon or remove some of your gear so that you do not kill the low level mobs in one hit.

The idea is to see how they react and to work on your positioning and use a few abilities on them before they die.This way you start getting used to a rotation. Don't just go in there and one shot everything in sight.

Go and pretend you are setting the mobs up for the rest of your (non existent) group.
