If you can't beat em...

I know there are a lot of grds in the kin, and I know there are changes coming (YAY!!), but I had an idle mind and insomnia last night...
Got to thinking about how to play my grd, and contribute more to the group, since aggro is really hard to get and keep from the hunters and champs.
why not set myself up as a morale pool for the tank, since it isn't me.
So, I dug through the vault and equipped everything I had to increase incoming healing and increase morale or power(unfortunately I don't have much by way of jewelry for this). I used Ashpar's gloves +1% and the 10%chance to increase morale 31, survivor of the watcher helm+2%, have a belt w 2.5% gem. these are the only +heal items I had...

So when the champ/hunter get low on morale, I hit them with shield wall, and the healer hits me up for the heals. Kinda a backwards tank. It definitely cut down work on the mins. the instances ran pretty smooth, and I wasn't so frustrated trying to get/keep aggro. Once the champ/hunter were back up to acceptable levels I removed shield wall and recovered power.

I'm eager for the changes coming w book 7. I want to be a real tank again...
