     IRC Nickname: [Randy] Group: Raid Leader Posts: 5065 Member No.: 16 Joined: December 29, 2007 Total Events Attended: 499    | It has become obvious that barely anyone in WG can tank. And by tank, I mean last longer than 5 seconds. We lost about 10 people in a minute, it's disgraceful. I watched people get koed one after another, not even praying. So, here's the point of this thread. If you get koed reguarly, or just feel that your tankign isn't great, post here. I, and i'm sure many other people, will be happy to help you. A lot of have never been in a clan before. It's understandable. By not speakign up, you're hurting the clan. Please, just post here, and you'll improve, and the clan will improve. --------------------   | ||

I died with no food. =\ So, I'm not sure if I suck at tanking or not, you tell me, lol. But I'd be glad to learn how to get better for the good of the clan. --------------------   | ||

I figured the same thing Kevin. I attend almost all tank practices, and the others who do, do juts fine. Key thing is, attendance. If we get more people to attend, we can get more publicity, more respect, better skills. Not just in this 1 event, at them all. [star]When people contribute, it only goes to help. We need everyone to work out for the good of the clan, help out, do the best you can do.[star] ~Saad Btw, i gud tank Timed it for 1 minutes 33 seconds. Tanked off for 1 person downed. started: 13-27 ended: 12-26  -------------------- The First, The Last, and the Only ~FLO Never say never, because limits, like fears, are often just an illusion. ~Michael Jordan      | ||

 IRC Nickname: Valdremia Group: Ex-Member Posts: 289 Member No.: 64 Joined: December 31, 2007 Total Events Attended: 9 | Just want to say, I'm normally not a good tank. But today surprisingly tanked till later half of the fight. Got piled 5 times and got away. Prayed, tanked, out of run totally, ate all my food saved 1/2 pizza before KO-ed. I do need to say thanks to Tnuac, Mike  who had lend pointers to me at the earlier wars as I'm already rusty and overall not a good tank. But those extra pointers stretched me very far today.Practise is best. But I know I certainly can't attend due to very lack of time overall. Can't say much but I know it was the simple but important pointers that works best with and remembering. Simple steps of 1-4. At least I know, they've helped a great deal. And things to remember, such as stick to and follow main pile don't stray. Usually, opponents stay away from each other's main piles. It'll last longer KO'ing off theirs. There use to be guides understanding this kind of tanking theory and explaining why. I would think those will help too. -------------------- "I will listen to you, especially when we disagree." - Barack Obama  | ||

I normally tank okay, and I make as many practices as possible  Yesterday I was RE's first pile (which I kinda figured might happen, since RE is well known for going for leaders, and I am WG's lowest level Council) which meant I barely had time to eat any food before they got me. Realistically is there any way you can actually tank that many OP's? --------------------  Old awards wat Most Mature & Most Honourable Most Dedicated|IRC Freak|Best Emeritus Placeholder lolz | ||

 IRC Nickname: Dnovelta Group: Emeritus Posts: 2750 Member No.: 130 Joined: January 20, 2008 Total Events Attended: 137 | I'm an average tank, nothing great, so this is good for me. On good days I can tank pretty well, but when I'm off it's pretty obvious. My main problem is knowing when to eat. Sometimes I start clicking food because I hear so many slashes and figure I'm getting dealt massive damage. I was able to tank TMC pretty well, escaping several piles, but then in other fights I'm slow to put Prayer on. For the sake of this topic, I'll say I'm a below average tank because I'm not a great tank as other's will attest to. So just give me some pointers and I'll use them. Good thinking Randy. --------------------   | ||

| IRC Nickname: Mangomaniac2 Group: Emeritus Posts: 536 Member No.: 70 Joined: December 31, 2007 Total Events Attended: 63 | I'll say, I'm not as good of a tank as I used to be. Today, I lasted about 30 seconds  I think I need to get more practice, as I've been inactive the whole school year.And, I get koed in one of our interclan wars because I wasn't paying attention. So in general, my skills need sharpening  --------------------  | ||
