Thoryana - Run to the Tank

This is a song about World of Warcraft.

***************** Run to the Tank
I remember long ago when I was 20
To Wailing Caverns we set off with a team
The hunter pulled, the priest got all the aggro
Terrified he turned around to flee

Run to the Tank
Run to the Tank
I can't get back the aggro
when your're that far away
Run to the Tank
Run to the Tank
But he just kept on kiting
that mob away from me

Another time when I was a bit older
In a pick-up group to farm some FR gear
In Blackrock Depths the mage didn't wait for sunders
He blinked away with Incendius on his heel

Run to the Tank
Run to the Tank
I can't get back the aggro
when your're that far away
Run to the Tank
Run to the Tank
But he just kept on kiting
that mob away from me

Last night we raided Upper Blackrock Spire
The succubus, she perished with a scream
Panic struck the warlock, now defenceless
He fell down to the ogres far below

Run to the Tank
Run to the Tank
I can't get back the aggro
when your're that far away
Run to the Tank
Run to the Tank
But he just kept on kiting
that mob away from me

Anyone who plays an MMO should listen to this song at least once.

19 people were DPS who got aggro and ran away from the tank

I love the folky style of the song and the catchy lyrics and as someone who has played tanks in WoW since '07, I can attest to the truth of this song.

Run to the tank!

@YamsRyu FYI, this video was made in '07. The lowbie dungeons (and tanking difficulty in general) were ASTRONOMICALLY more difficult than the Cataclysm revamped dungeons.

It was common to wipe over and over on WC or VC simply due to stupid shit. And DPS going AWOL with aggro doesn't help.

@Octagonapus97

To be fair, at low levels, it usually doesn't matter if aggro is pulled off you; you usually have a healer who can handle it or hell, dps in mail can just tank a mob or two if they're smart.

Bear tank is also the hardest imo to master tanking with. Best bet is to go with the line; You pull it, You Tank it. Unless you are the healer.

@Octagonapus97 It doesn't help that as a bear tank you kinda have to have the enemies hitting you to get the most out of your rage, isn't it? :(

[Octagonapus97]

I don't think people realize the tank is supposed to attack first in order to keep the enemy's attention. The other day, I tanked for the first time (level 17/18 Night Elf Druid). But, it wasn't going so well. So one guy is all, "What kind of tank are you?" and, "You're a bad tank, Mr. Bear." (I was in bear form) Now, you are probably thinking, "Man, this guy sucks at tanking." Well, it wasn't my fault. Everyone else kept attacking the enemies first, so THEY took all the damage! IDIOTS!

[MarinesRProud]

omg my first ever character was a human warrior, klye, on vanilla. I've been tanking ever since...;) <3 tanking :DDD
