— In-game description

Tank Training - Exercise 5: Engage Multiple Targets is a level 15 Hall of the Novice exercise introduced in patch 3.2 with Heavensward.

General Information

• This training exercise is the fifth in a series of eight for the tank role in Hall of the Novice, which becomes available when you unlock dungeons.

• Engage Multiple Targets is exclusive to the tank role training exercises, unlike the first and final exercise of Hall of the Novice.

• This training exercise is designed to expand on the previous one, where the use of the AoE attack is important mostly in the beginning. The exercise will begin with a healer ally, and three enemies in a cone in front of you. Instruction during the exercise will be to start with the AoE attack-- remembering to have your enmity stance on-- and then go immediately into the one-two combo to keeping the enemies focused on you instead of the healer ally.
  • The game provides somewhat poor advice, as against a group of three enemies, the player should always use their AoE attacks until one of them is defeated before switching to single targeting.

• Success in this training exercise is based on whether the live targets are defeated. Consequently, failure in this exercise happens only if the healer ally or you die.
