I figured a thread for people to post their noobiest moments could both be fun, as well as helpful for new tanks. I'm still learning to be a better tank, myself, so I'm hoping to glean some knowledge from your funny stories. :)
So what noobish things have you done or realized during your adventures? I'll start out with one:
It wasn't until I was 16 that I realized the charged up normal attack does area damage. Like, really, I had no idea. This fact somehow escaped me all that time, lol. Anyway, this really helps with holding threat/aggro on multiple mobs when waiting for abilities to come off cooldown!
Also, charged normal attacks seem to deal out a lot more threat/aggro than just spamming the attack button. I don't have any hard data on that, but once I stopped spamming and started charging, it became pretty rare for others to get the elite jarl's attention away from me.
So yeah, charge up your attack for greater effect! Who knew? :p
(P.S. - "Who knew?" = sarcasm, for those facetiously impaired folks. There's at least one on every forum! lol.)
