Once I get over my inhibitions about queueing as a Tank — which always reappear when I haven’t played the character for awhile — I’ve found that Paladin tanking is rather fun. But when I get to a level where bosses will actually require tactics and careful positioning and stuff… then I might go heals :P

We’re a patient and forgiving lot and odds are there will even be a tank in the party or someone who really knows the class (especially if it’s Heablade…my god that dude and plate classes…) and can point out little things that will help you along the way.

It’s that or start from scratch and as soon as you hit 15, start doing dungeons and nothing but with that tank toon. lol

I’d love dearly to main a tank one day, but alas, I am too chicken (Plus, that one time my guild asked me to tank the Stone Guardians I was *this* close to deleting my toon and never playing WoW again. I had NO idea what I was supposed to be doing).

Just get together some friends or mindless minions to experiment with. They’ll be sure to tell you want you’re doing wrong but in a constructive kind of way. Or you could just become a healadin! Although I’ll admit that idea is because I prefer to heal on my paladin rather than tank.
