Taunt
it's such a lovely word. relevant on so many levels.
i had a lot of fun today.
ran rnd's as a healer. the almost instant que's got me several dungeons. that plus the bonus exp i also made a few levels. it was fun.
in a couple of dungeons i came across a couple of tanks w/o a taunt. being new to healing this caused a little bit of panic as groups of mobs come running towards me, for laying down aoe heal's i assume. now comes the boss. i can see it looking right at me. it looks hungry. why is it trying to eat me?! where's the tank?!
as i retreat from the boss, hoping someone else will get aggro, an idea occurs.
my solution for tanks w/o taunt is to keep aggro but run all over. everywhere. jumping up and down. pursued by the boss, still able to fling off heals. it's especially fun in larger areas. never seen pug'mates move around so much.

You've had nature explained to you and you're bored with it, you've had the living body explained to you and you're bored with it, you've had the universe explained to you and you're bored with it, so now you want cheap thrills and, like, plenty of them....

I'm glad to see someone adapting to the situation and thinking on their feet rather than giving up and coming here to complain. Though in all fairness you probably could have easily stood your ground and stacked heals and you'd have been fine in many situations I still got a laugh thinking that if they don't want a tank then the price they pay is a kite n fight battle.
And with that skillset you've discovered today you'll find yourself a capable support healer in the upcoming PvP event next week!1
