Posts with tag tanking-bloopers

Recently, we asked you to tell us your healing bloopers. Frustrated Healer requested a similar thread for tanks because he is, well, a frustrated healer. Now, we all have horror stories from other people tanking, as well as tales just as bad about people making it difficult to tank. Most of these stories are the same, which is why tanking bloopers would be so much more fun. (I mean, how many times do we need to complain about the GOGOGO mentality?)

WoW Insider does have a few guides to help beginning tanks, including:

• Learning how to tank
• Things you didn't know your tank was doing From the flipside, but still helpful for newbie tanks
• Observations from a leveling tank Dungeon Finder tips

But even if you read everything you should when starting to play a tank, you still make mistakes -- sometimes big, smelly, embarrassing ones. And even veteran meat shields have their oops days.
