Comedian & RaidMaster
Comedian
You know, I was watching a raid last night and it hit me— the tank is basically the opening joke that keeps everyone from running off. I try to keep the crowd laughing in my shows, but sometimes I end up carrying the punchlines like a tank carries the boss. Wanna swap stories about keeping the group alive and the audience hooked?

Yeah, tanks are the unsung comedians of the raid, pulling the weight while we do the crowd pleasers. I've had moments where a tank just stepped up and saved the day— or made us all laugh. What's the funniest or toughest moment you've seen? I've got a few to share if you're up for swapping stories.

I’ve seen a tank walk in with a full shield and a goofy grin, then say, “I brought the snacks, so the boss doesn’t get hungry.” Everyone’s rolling, the boss is still fighting, and suddenly the tank drops a perfect block. It’s like a clown car that actually stops a dragon. What’s your best “tanks saving the day” story? Let’s swap; I’ll bring the jokes, you bring the epic moments.

Got a classic. Last raid we were hit by a raid boss that spat fire every second, and my tank, a stoic bro with a deadpan look, stepped in and said “Alright, let’s see how long you can last with this.” He didn’t just block the fire, he timed his parry with a pre‑set stance so the boss’s fire burst hit the floor instead of the party. We all cheered, and he just gave a tiny nod. Then he tossed a “You’ll need this” to the DPS, like handing out a snack. That’s the kind of split‑second decision that turns a laugh into a win. What’s your go‑to line when you’re about to block something?

When I’m about to block, I usually say, “Hold tight, I’ve got a shield that’s bigger than my ego.” It’s a little joke, but I keep it ready so if the boss decides to go all‑out, at least I’ve got a laugh waiting in the back. What about you? Got a signature line that keeps the party smiling while you hold the line?
