Hey Community,
Just wanted to let you all know I've been working on a guide for tanks/tanking. Currently still a work-in-progress, but it's being updated live as the information gets captured. I'll be updating it during this weekends alpha preview and then hopefully add a lot more content during the Alpha 1 stage.

Skills section has been updated and a new addition added: Boss Mechanics.
Everything is still going to be balanced, including the fact that some of these abilities may not remain tank abilities in the long run.
My reasoning behind making this guide is to have a good base to work from when the subsystems become more stable and permanent. It's also there to help assist new players who haven't been a part of the alpha testing very long, such as myself, to at least provide some support and extra information that isn't easily found in-game.
It's not a site I would use, but some people might find that kind of info useful.
It's great that you mention upfront that it will continue to be updated as info increases and changes - much like the wiki.
The Wiki was one of the reasons why I started this guide. When I joined my first preview test I noticed that some of the information mentioned on the wiki wasn't accurate anymore and some of the info I found via our Guild was also outdated, which pushed me to try and have some place with updated info and stats that could be used for other areas, such as the wiki or our own Guild info tables.
Your guide will have stuff the wiki doesn't - so won't really be a competitor.
I like what I see so far. I will be using this if you keep it up post launch. Great job!
Wow, it's been 2 years already... I'm going to archive this thread and and use the following one for all future guide updates: https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/discussion/50292/a-tanks-guide-wip
