The Art of Pulling in Five-Mans

The lack of skilled tanks is obvious.  After all, the Solo MMO Player had a second tank fall off a cliff while in a dungeon finder raid this week.  WOW Insider columnist Allison Robert has started a two part series on how to pull during a five-man.  The first article is about assessing the situation before a pull.

The next article is about the pulls as they are happening.

Big Bear Butt Explains Holding Aggro

BBB talks about pulling aggro and holding aggro, and talks about addons that help you understand what is going on whether you are a tank or your role is DPS.  The comments section has a lot of helpful information and further details.

Sadly, I don't think Big Bear Butt is kidding when he says he's thinking about giving up blogging.
