Lego Explanation of the Tank-Heal-Damage Triad- by 6 Year Old 516k3o

Stuff

The concept of the tank-heal-damage triad in your typical MMO, including come across in game seem to have issues with this very basic concept. 245635

Anyway, we stumbled across this very cute blog by Jasper, a 6-year old WoW players and huge collectors of Lego sets, why not use the very popular toy to explain this gaming concept?

On his blog, Jasper says:
“If the tank and healers dies, um, the damage dealer will end up dying, because he doesn’t have the armour, he’s the one that whacks fast, doof doof doof doof. The tank’s job is to keep the bad guy from attacking the damage dealer, because the damage dealer if he gets hit a few times he’s dead. Tanks can take a lot of whacks but they can’t do as hard a whack     as the damage dealers.”
And if you follow the link, you can also see a photo of the setup as he explains a boss fight with Lego figurines. Too cool, Jasper, too cool!
Now maybe you can teach a few players in game a thing or two…
