Are there any MMOs that have mechanics for multi-tanking a single boss? Beyond tank-swapping I mean, where the single-boss encounter actually calls for several tanks working together, forming a metaphorical Voltron of sorts. Or an actual one :wink:
To be very clear, I don't mean multiple tanks for tanking adds during the boss fight. I mean multiple tanks having to use their skills at the right timings to survive the attacks from a single boss. Splitting the damage, using a taunt combined with a knockdown from another tank, combined with a snare from a third tank, combined with a debuff with a fourth tank, combined with a shield skill from the fifth tank, all going off at once. Something like that, but more imaginative I hope.
Because I really want to see something like that so we can get away from the single main tank syndrome, where the only reason to bring more tanks in a raid is to tank adds or tank-swap.
