Okay, why the crap is everyone on the forum a Paladin (save the few who didn't)?!
Late but I played pld back in 1.0 as well so it kinda carried over... I also play brd and drg but I know like a bazillion bards and maybe 5 tanks so I usually end up tanking for people so we can speed up the DF.
Edit: It's also useful being tank because tell my friends who want to watch CS to skip them I can tell them to wait and they kinda just have to deal with it.
