re: Intro: Zusmallon

Hey all,

I am a new recruit looking to join Pax. I am a Vanguard tank. 

I started this toon when my old guild fell short of tanks, and this was probably my most difficult toon to level for some reason. I enjoy tanking on this guy a lot but have never really tried dps. I find tanking fun because it's not based on numbers like say dps. You do a good job when everyone gets through the fight. It's more about supporting the raid. 

I find PVP on Vanguard to be meh. I can usually get plenty of medals but I never feel like I'm really contributing to fights. I end up throwing out a lot of taunts and boom 8 medals, but I'm not sure if I'm really helping my team to win like on other toons. 

My favorite memory in this game as a tank was the first time killing TFB in HM. It was my first first boss kill as a tank. Since then I've been pretty hooked with leading raids with this guy.

 

One thing I wish Vanguards had was instead of two dps specs, instead more of a "Ranged" tanking spec. This spec would have you focus on some of your more ranged abilities so you could tank a boss from say 20m away. It would just be an interested twist, and make them even more unique compared to other tanks.

re: Intro: Zusmallon

Awesome intro, nice to meet you!  Would love to learn a little more about you as well, like what you do for work, what you do for fun outside of gaming, etc!

 

I used to think tanking in pvp was "meh" too... but maybe I can teach you how to enjoy it as much as me!  The key is finding out how to realllly support you team in objective-style combat by tanking, keeping people alive just as much as healers, and CC
