Since I don't know how much tanking experience you have, my advice may be something you already know. I'm posting it anyway, to help any new tanks.Tip number 1:Upgrade every taunt skill as high as you can afford. Apprentice IV is your absolute minimum, and it sucks. You really should get all of them to at least Adept III. It makes a _HUGE_ difference.Tip number 2:Forget about your damage skills. Your damage and debuffs are nothing compared to the DPS and support classes. You're there to be the meatshield. Your should be using your taunt abilities every single time they're ready. The only time you should hit any other skill is if your taunts are refreshing. And I'm not being figurative here. Taunt or autoattack.Tip number 3:Learn the term "Main assist", aka "MA". Use it. Love it. Teach everyone the term, it'll make the game better.Pick a DPS toon (or an OT) that is run by a player you trust. They become the "Main assist". Everyone kills whoever the MA has targeted. The only person who should ever target you are the healers...and they should switch to the MA if they're going to use a nuke.You pull a group of mobs, and hit the AoE taunt. MA picks a mob from the group and starts laying in to him. You taunt the various members of the group as necessary. (IIRC the brawler 'taunting stance' only triggers when you damage the mob. Guardians 'taunting stance' triggers whenever the mob hits the guardian which makes keeping group agro a lot easier for Guards)The idea is as the tank you'll be switching targets frequently. You want all of the group's damage going to one target. Splitting target choice from tanking is how you acomplish this.My brother-in-law and I dual box a group. I play a guardian and a wizard, he a dirge and warden. My guardian's the MT, the dirge is the MA. I always chain-nuke the wizard, and never lose agro to her.In our previous generation of characters, we got a little bored during one camp and decided to see if I could lose agro. The only toon that was able to do it was the warden, by chain-casting every heal (which is kinda silly with HoTs).Fact is, if the players in your group have to throttle their damage, then you need to do better at taunting.
