Ode to the offtank
Tarsus over at Tanking for Dummies has a great post about the offtank and why he’s important. As somebody who’s been an offtank for, eh, 90%+ of my raiding career, it’s nice to see somebody appreciate what the other guys in plate and shield (or fur) are doing while the MT dances with Big Nasty.
The off-tank has come a long way since snake-add tank of Molten Core days. I’m fortunate enough to be able to do a bit of both Off-tanking and Main-tanking these days. Off tanking is definitely more challenging on fights where it is needed.
