My past couple of posts this Blaugust have been Debbie Downer-y, so I decided to take my own advice and focus on making a little love wave. And this time I’m going to show some of that love to my all-time favorite class to play, the tank.

I actually wrote about tanking early on the last time I participated in Blaugust, so I suppose we’ll consider this something of a natural progression from that thought on why I love tanking; I’m going to take a moment to think about the best games that gave the best MMO class the best treatment.

Blaugust Day 2 – Why I Tank

I just never was the DPS sort.  I mean, I’ve played the class enough times, but a great amount of DPS’ers really just feel they bring one of two things to the table–either DoT hurting or burst hurting.  You can color and cover it any way you want, but a Scrapper is a Ninja is a Thief is a Necromancer.

Tanking, however, feels different to me.  More vital.  More nuanced.

…well, as nuanced as one can be while being a giant monster dude with a huge spear.
