Not a fake tank but as a less experienced one, I will taunt and do my best to hold aggro, but I'm unsure of which red aoe's I can stand and block through, and which I need to get out of (roll dodge or otherwise). So apologies if that happens.

While reading this I thought it was one of my posts. I know exactly how you feel.

Someone on the Tanking University thread was asking about red aoe's and other boss abilities, so you might check that discussion out and see if there's anything that will help you. https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/377221/tanking-university/p1

I hate dps that can't do a rotation while moving....Quit learning on a target skeleton :P

Anyway this doesn't matter unless you are a trial goer. I can solo most Vet dungeons....Everyone quit complaining about how everyone else plays because you rely on a META group to carry you....

Bah! There’s nothing worse than popping an ulti for the boss to just skip out of it like it’s chasing frickin butterflies.

Yes we get that you are the most clever person playing ESO and you invented a new way to jump to the front of the queue that no one else has ever thought of. We get that a core part of your religion is the belief that tanks are not needed in dungeons and that taunting is for wusses.

But if you can't hold the boss still in one spot an insist on kiting him/her around the room like a scared little girl forcing me to keep recasting my expensive ground DOTs or HOTs, you're getting kicked... no exceptions.

L2 pretend tank. You've been warned.

Sorry I can't agree thrice to this post, so one "Agree" has to be enough, sadly.
