First time being a tank...

[Sigurd]

I regularly flipped mobs and moved around in all my MMOs, I've only played a warrior to 14 here (I am primarily a Warrior/Fighter as mains in MMOs) because my alt grp became the one I am on most (22 Psi and my soloer (meaning pickup grps etc, not with reg crew) got to 20 and stayed there a month or so back)

I like having insta-knowlege of aggro (moving around will let me verify this in sits where I can't flip the mob) In EQ I'd like to back the mob up to put a wall behind me etc for some stun issues etc. I am always aware if there are rogues or in later games - other positional fighters in grp and ask for requests.

Personally, I prefer to MT vs MA and I like to ask the grp if they mind making the Ranger or X MA and just let me try to grab all aggro etc - I like to be able to swap my target as need without worrying anyone assistmacroing me (cos they BETTER be using macros lol) does it at the wrong moment (usually I only need to momentarily swap targets)

I wasn't sure (I don't have any), but I asked Renfail and he confirmed that we got an AoE attack, and AoE taunt, and an AoE finisher (I can't wait for this one!)

Supposedly, all the AoE attacks show up around level 30. I might never make it that far.
