The "Core" Group (continued)



Building on the "Tank"

There are generally two flavors of tanks present in some battles. The "Main" tank who generally handles taking the main boss and trash (enemies with no significant value inside a fight) outside of a boss fight and the "off" tank who during a major or pivotal battle with a boss will be responsible for aggroing any adds (trash enemies that join the fight with the boss) and keeping them distracted while the dps kill off the adds. This will usually require a second healer who will keep the off tank and dps alive, while the other healer keeps the main tank alive and well. This also works well if the main tank has to leave during the middle of a instance. When not needed as a tank the off tank assists as a dps until needed.

"All" characters

Some important things to look at when building your character is to check for interrupts which stop an enemy attack charging up, you don't have to be a particular type of character to prevent an enemy attack, as long as you have the interrupt don't be afraid to use it!
