Loved your guide, even though I am mostly a scrapper at heart. I duo with my wife alot, her def and my scrap, when we do team I end up tanking with said scrapper. This guid has helped with that. But there is a big rule that I believe more people should listen to, when the tank says run, RUN!!!!! Pulling back and regrouping can save a team if you see someone pulling more then your team can handle. We had an instance early in our career that comes to mind. The tank died, the troller pulled to much, and there ended up only 3 left standing. I held the agro, while the other 2 pulled back, then my wife tped me away from the group, she again retreated as I held agro, repeat and rinse. We made it to the door as everyone was coming back from the hospital. The tank slowed down a bit, and we finished the mission. We still get comments about that from the tank involved, he loved the tactic.

Holy crap, I cannot believe I didn't think to write something about this. There are certainly times where a tank's job may be to slow down the enemies while the team gets away, even if the tank dies as a result.

That's something that tends to happen mostly in the lower levels before builds mature; I've mainly been playing tankers in the mid-high levels for the past several years where that doesn't come up very often. Also I usually play with the same people and we tend to play a "damn the torpedoes" style.

Problem with this though is some times a Team will not listen when a tank says RUN!!!!! I have done that in the past when we are fighting 1 group and some one grabs more then the team can handle I yell run and no one runs and it ends up a team wipe.

I'm glad my little story helped. We still use the tp tactic when the fit hits the shan. Its kinda fun.
The guide has been updated again. There were some minor changes throughout, plus the added section for "The Unconventional Tank."
