How I Play my Tank

[Darian]

I'm still not convinced of the idea that it should always be the warrior who is the puller, but as most people I've grouped with by now know I like to try new tricks a lot anyway if I'm overlevelled for an instance.

If the warrior's got 300 in bows, then it's almost always best to let the warrior pull (with obvious exceptions, such as situations where the most effective pull involves a sap, a sheep, and a mind-controlled healer... or when counterspell's called for but you want your own attention on a different mob than the caster in question at the outset of the fight). But you're right on two levels. Some warriors are just lousy at it even if their weapon skill is high enough -- bad target selection being the major culprit. (I've seen guys pulling the back non-elite mob out of a group with three elites; what can they possibly be thinking there?)

And it's always a good idea to experiment with allowing other people to pull so that you, as the tank, know what their pulling capabilities are. That way you know when to ask someone else to do the honors when it's most sensible (which it is far more often than a lot of tanks realize, I think).
