Why do you enjoy tanking?

[cbeefman]

I suppose if you asked a shrink they might say I enjoy being a tank because it gives me a sense of power and control I dont get anywhere else. And they'd be right
Always played a hunter (in fact i have one of every class at 90) but switched to my warrior for my guild due to always having tank issues on our roster. While I occasionally miss my hunter, and I actually still keep him geared up as best I can, as long as I still play wow, i'm going to tank for my guild.

Also, as others have said, having high health and being able to just waltz right into a pack of 10 mobs and laugh it off is awesome.

It's easier to do than the other two roles.

Yeah, being in control of a massive raid boss is pretty empowering, even if it does make it very easy for the raid to tell if you screw it up. I never thought tanking was hard per se, but I see soooo many people struggle with it, that I feel I'm doing others a favor for tanking (if that's not too conceited to say) just as much as I'm getting enjoyment out of it (and I have been complimented for my tanking in the past). Feels good, man.

Because you get to help people and you are sort of the center of attention? Lol, makes me feel important I guess.

Tanking is something that I never really got into and I'm curious why people like it.

Might actually delve into it a little since I'm killing time till WoD. =)

I enjoy the OP tears of all the QQ I get when I tank. Nothing is more joyfull than to watch the selfentitled and selfrighteous ones writhe in agony when things don't happen their way. I'm not even kidding. And I do tank 'correctly' without trolling people.
