tanking
A tank or meat shield is a character class commonly seen in co-op video games such as real-time strategy games, role-playing games, fighting games, multiplayer online battle arenas and MUDs.
Tank characters deliberately attract enemy attention and attacks (potentially by using game mechanic that force them to be targeted) to act as a decoy for teammates. Since this requires them to endure concentrated enemy attacks, they typically rely on a high health pool or support by friendly healers to survive while sacrificing their own damage output.
Since they keep other members of a team alive, tanks often take on an unofficial leadership role:The tank acts as the de facto leader of the group by pulling and holding monsters' attention. It's up to me to set the pace as we clear the dungeon. But more than knowing how much the party can handle at once, I need to know where those monsters need to be positioned, what direction they should face, and what abilities they can use that might threaten the group. I'm also expected to stay on top of all the current meta strategies for beating a dungeon. When shortcuts are found that let players skip monsters, I need to know them.The term was used as early as 1992 on Usenet to describe the warrior class on BatMUD.
Hi everyone
Quick question, I'm about to tank the walls in my bathroom, around the bath / shower area, they are skimmed plasterboard, and I was planning to use ultra tilefix proshield tanking kit, as it states it doesn't require primer, thus I believe making it quicker to complete the task. My...
I just renovated my en-suit and am left with the following items:
1. 2.6-meter tanking tap
2. Waterproof tanking primer – see arrow for quantity left
3. Waterproof tanking membrane - see arrow for quantity left
4. Weber PR360 styrene acrylate primer- about half left

Please help - I put down plywood and tanked it with a Mapi tanking kit, I painted the liquid all over the floor. We then decided we'd put down a heat mat so we need to put down Marmox insulation tiles. I have the insulation all cut out and have started to screw it down - the screws (with large...
I'm thinking about this more and more lately, I can get codex hydrostop at a stupid price ( which is like ditra Kerdi membrane ) now when tanking a shower area rather than messing about with liquids why not just put this sheet up . Even if you use Jackoboard rather than mess about with sealing...
Hello people. Been up to the eyes with life, but finally managed to progress my (now 6m long!) wetroom project.

I'm a DIY'er refitting a bathroom and en-suite and with 2 showers to tank/waterproof.
One I plan to line with 12mm hardiebacker, and it also includes a preformed Schluter niche.
The second will be lined with MR plasterboard dot and dabbed to brick walls, so I don't believe concrete board is an...
Hi there,
I’ve seen the thread about backer boards water proof vs water resistant etc.
We were going to use aquapanel and tank with ever build aqua seal tanking kit which comes with primer etc.
However, the merchant had nomoreply instead.
I’ve checked this and they seem to require us to prime...
Hi folks. DIY job here. Trying to decide on the makeup of materials for my wetroom before buying any stuff. Tiles are bought but nothing else.
Would appreciate any comments on my choices below particularly in relation to waterproofing.
I started out looking at the Schluter linear drains which...
We had our bathroom completely re-done last November. We hadn’t even started to use the shower before the grout (Mapei) had started to crack in the shower area. The tiles in the dry area have also cracked and move now.
This is an AKW tough form (fitted straight into the joists with extra...
Hi all,
Just seeking advice on wet area joints in hardibacker.
In a "dry" area I would normally fibatape then skim with addy.
Should i still do this and then tanking tape and then tank membrane over all?
Will this be a bit thick at the joints?
Or is it OK to just use tanking tape over joints in...

First off, thank you to everyone that posts on this forum, although this is only my second post, the advice I have picked up from reading others has been invaluable.
On to my error. I have discovered rather late in the build process that my floor is not perfectly level, I did check it but...
