In World of Warcraft there are good tanks and there are bad tanks, what's the difference between the two though? What I find it boils down to is a few simple things that a tank can do well or poorly that makes all the difference. Here are a list of 5 really good things that a tank should do and 5 really bad things that a tank should avoid. If all tanks followed at least this basic list life would be far simpler for everyone.
Focus purely on stamina Far too many tanks out there focus purely on stamina which only means that they can take big hits. It does not mean they are a good tank or that they can take many or successive hits easily. There are far too many tanks with huge health pools that have almost no avoidance or mitigation, or if they have some it is not in balance to what they need.
