Tank

Definition (Noun)
A super-strong or advanced pirate who protects lower-level pirates from larger enemies or heals them so they can defeat high-level enemies and reap larger rewards.

Definition (Verb)
To act as a tank and protect lower-level pirates from larger enemies by drawing the enemies attacks at themselves.


 * Game Note - The AI in Pirates Online used to have an enemy attack which pirate it saw first, but now it attacks the pirate doing damage - making tanking more difficult.
