Hi - I'm a gimp, always was and always will be, but for the sake of those possibly grouping with me I'd like a few hints from players who might have played tank classes in the earlier stages of beta.
I'm roled as a warrior, but at a similar although slightly lower (ie 1 level max) level than casters in my group I am struggling to draw the aggro in PvE. A couple of questions come to mind:
1) Does the actual positiong of my character help, ie getting between the mobs and the player? (Might sound dumb, but it would be easy to assume it is the same as DAOC)
2) If the tank gets in with the first hit or two will it make much difference?
3) (Warrior specific) I got an axe drop with a much much higher DPS rating than the club I have been using. At level 8 I am contemplating blowing a bunch of silver on training in axe to see if this makes alot of difference to my ability to draw aggro... more experienced comments on this plan welcome
Errrm.... and any other useful information welcome!
Thanks.
