Hello everyone, my little story goes like this:

It felt like I was back in school taking my midterms(In terms of required concentration). Holding aggro on all adds was quite hard and when I managed to do so my block meter was gone fast and I took high amount of damage. Tanking bosses with adds was a headache I can't phantom how you are meant to hold aggro on the boss and adds, while also avoiding AoE.

TLDR: I need a dose of l2p, even some youtube vid's if possible.

Newly dinged 60 stats as follows:
19 str/26 con/15 dex
28.219 Health
7412 Gear score
1.818 power
4017 defense
1504 deflect

Thanks for taking time reading. <3 Many hearts to you all.
Edit: Where do you buy injury kits? Let's just say I need some ;)

Regards
Valerion

    Generally a control wizard or gwf is used to keep adds distracted if you are a defensive fighter, while rogues/tank focus on the boss, and cleric keeps everybody vertical.

    needless to say tanks and healers are going to have a learning curve in this game. It is going to be extremely challenging. I am personally looking forward to tanking more.

    Actually after tanking my 2nd and third dungeon I can easily say that it wasn't as hard as I thought it was, infact it was almost to easy. I guess it all depends on the party. It is only t1 after all.

    This is it exactly. The tank and rogues should be on the main boss (in most fights) and the CW/GWF should be on add duty. There are a few dungeons when everyone is on the adds while the tank focuses on the main boss only, but thats the short list of dungeon fights.
