Some help for a noob

Well, we often have someone designated as a backup for the main tank on several raid-level fights so that everyone knows where the heals should be going if the MT goes down, and that warrior usually engages just a second or two after the MT to begin generating aggro.  Since for all I know Lissa was that person at that time, the extra arguments don't really apply too much.  Generally, while that warrior should be in battle stance unless the MT does in fact go down, they should also be building aggro as much as they can while maximizing DPS so that they are in fact the next target.  The difference between battle stance and defensive stance is the barrier which prevents them from accidentally stealing aggro from the MT.

Sounds like a good idea. That idea is used on Vael, correct? Having a nice line of tanks built up due to them constantly dying. Or something like that. I have no personal experience :P
