## Key points

- Tanks keep enemies focused on them with threat and taunts.
- Careful pulls and marked targets help coordinate the group.
- Rotate defensive abilities to manage incoming damage.

## Summary

Tanking in WoW: Forever means keeping enemies focused on you so damage dealers and healers can do their jobs. It matters because difficult dungeons require tanks to manage both enemy attention and the party’s safety, rather than simply standing in front.

The article explains that threat determines which player an enemy attacks, while taunts can force enemies to target the tank when others overtake their threat. It recommends pulling carefully, marking priority targets, focusing spellcasters, keeping enemies facing away from the group, and rotating defensive abilities instead of using them all at once.
