Learning to tank, apparently the hard way.
OK, so I tried tanking today for the second time ever on my druid (now level 44). Let my group know that I was trying to learn how to tank on this toon. They *said* they were okay with this, but one DPS got impatient and quit, and was replaced by another one who decided to heap abuse after we pointed out that his pet was growling.
After spending about an hour fuming (during which I ran a pug on my lvl 19 hunter, considered starting my druid over and learning to tank once the new toon reached level 15, considered sticking to ranged DPS, considered only running as tank or heals with guildies from now on), I sagely decided to put off Warcraft until after the Super Bowl. It occurred to me at halftime that the best thing might be to come here and ask:
How do you learn to tank?
Thanks!
