Thread: How do you Tank effectively with TKM?

My alt was a TKM for only a month before the CU. My friend has been a TKM for almost a year. We both have the same problem, as the "tanks" in a group, we truly suck at it.



Does anyone have any advice on how we can tank better for the groups we are in? We are tough as all get out, but that doesn't do our ranged friends any good when the animals run past (or through us) to incap them. How do you keep the critters agroed on you so you can tank effectively? There must be something we are missing.

Yes and what if you are not interested in taking all those other professions/skills in addition to TKA? If your class role is a tank, you should be able to do that with your class... not have to suck in skills from 5 other unrelated NON-TANKING professions to be able to tank.

That's a little like a Fighter in DnD not being able to tank unless he takes 2 levels of wizard and 3 of rogue.

You get Taunt. Use it. It works. Taunt the thing first, and it will stay agroed on you.


Good lord guys its not that hard. The game requires a LITTLE more brains now.

i was a firm believer in taunt pre-cu, but now it doesn't seem all that effective. i taunt and, when it sticks, sure, they come running over to me....of course, i have to be within a certain distance of them for it to work and while i'm waiting for my timers to go back up so i can try and put a state on it, my ranged friends are hitting it and, eventually, it goes and runs after them. so then the whole, useless process starts over again and basically you have me just standing there taunting my brains out while my timer does it's job.


perhaps if there was no timer on taunt, it would work better, but as it stands right now, it's not very effective.
