Hah hah that noob rogue tank might be able to handle tanking in BFD
but eventually he is gonna get hit and hit hard if he continues those
shenanigans as he levels up.

I would have just sat down for every fight all the way through the end
and taken the XP and hoped for a nice drop that I could NEED for my
true tank.

But then again I wasn't there so I didn't have to experience the
frustration you were going through. You probabnly wanted practice with
your tank. I guess it does no good to bring a tank there to  go
through the trade practices of tanking and not get to practice the art
of tanking as you are leveling.

Glad to see a tank support group as well here.

Three cheers for support groups!

OH! OH! OH!
