Episode 134 – Tanks For The Perspective

In episode 134 the boys are joined by Midwinter tank Grafarion and this time it’s all about perspective… With all the criticism around tanking in Legion, we thought it would be nice to take a step back and try to understand the philosophy and goals for tanking.
