For those who don't know what "MMORpg" is:
Stands for "Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game", it's a game where many people come together in an online environment where they can group up and kill computer opponents (Called MOBs). Some mobs can be killed by oneself, but tougher ones often need a group or even a raid (many groups). One can play different classes generally, like a priest/cleric/healer, a warrior/paladin/tank, a damage dealer (such as rogue or sorcerer) etc.
A 'Tank' is basically a class which can take a load of damage without dying from it. They have the most 'hitpoints' and 'armour class' as well as tough armour such as full plate. They are sometimes also referred to as 'meat shield' because they're in between of the more fragile persons (such as healers and mages or sorcerers) and the mobs (mob = npc opponent, the word comes from "Mobile OBject" or something). But they are also 'persons' or 'characters', so basically they act like a shield but are made of meat.... sort of...
So... now also those who don't play MMOs may be able to grasp this particular episode of BOOBZ.
Enjoy!
