GWF tanking

So I roll through Epic Idris anytime I want a mindless dungeon run because, let's face it, there is no need for strategy there. Many times I look for one and seem to jump in right before the final boss. How, as a GWF do they expect me to tank the mobs? Somehow my butt seems to be constantly on the line and I only have one knockdown per 11 seconds. Hard to keep five Hulks at bay while I try to dps the boss. If your team doesn't know the classes, rest assured I AM NOT A TANK. I swing my telephone pole sized sword and swallow potions because I get everyone's aggro attention.

Anyone looking for a 10.5k DPS beast, call me!

    When you run into a horde of groups, the first thing you want to use is ''daring shout'', this marks all the mobs and gives you the center of attention. Considering you get 15% more damage against marked targets it's a very usefull way to play if you're a DPS build. If you want to keep the mobs on you for a while, use ''wicked strike'' to keep damaging them. Wicked strike also procs ''Destroyer'', which gives a lot more damage output.

    if there's a CW who does way more damage you'll probably lose the adds anyway, but before the adds reach the CW they'll usually be dead.

    I can off-tank ok in some situations, but not all :) I like playing my GWF. It definitely helps if there is a control wizard with growth, or a good cleric. I love the circle of life :)
    Yes, I'm female. No, you can't see my HAMSTER.

    CWs make everything easier. Give them time to cast and do what you can to keep aggro off of them and adds aren't a problem in the slightest. CWs are a must in any party, IMO.
