lol, tsk tsk, Rig.....tanks are not always the best fighters.
However, Rigwyn is right....ask
any player that is fighting something. Almost all players are glad to help new people. We love it when questions are asked in character instead of using [ ], but people will help if you are polite. Oh, and another tip....if someone is standing still for a while, and they don't answer your question, then they are probably 'afk'. It is very rare for someone to be ignored when asking questions and requesting help.
Talk to any member of House Cheshire, House of Purrty, Kore Irka Clan, Daughters of Xiosia....they love to RP, but are also very helpful out of character also.
Welcome to Planeshift
I hope you have fun.
