Tanking?

[NextGenNinja]

Tanking is pretty much withstanding an attack with little to no damage, right? Would you still call it "tanking" if someone does receive hardly any damage, but is knocked out?

 

[InfiniteMugen]

It depends, if it's an attack known to devastate/kill/destroy and you get knocked out with lil damage than yea you tanked it imo

[Holy God]

To have been knocked out, the subject must have undergone quite a bit of damage, despite it not being on the external surface (skin), so I would personally not consider it a "tank".

[table="width: 550, align: center"][tr][td]The most simple, and basic definition of tanking would be the withstanding of an assault. So, as long as the target remains alive, he/she has tanked.

[table="width: 550, align: center"][tr][td]You're comparing two different things. A sport, where if you're knocked out you lose, to simply a definition of the word tanking.

The 3rd Raikage tanked his Nukite, though passed out. Tanking merely means to survive a directed blow. Though there are other perspectives on the matter.

[table="width: 550, align: center"][tr][td]You do realize where the slang-word tanking comes from correct?

tank
Noun: A player-character, typically in a MMORPG, that is able to occupy an agressor and take the brunt of the aggressor's attacks while the other players deal damage, heal, or perform some other action.

The "tank" can survive longer while taking damage than the other characters. Typically, the tank has higher hitpoints (health) and a higher armor rating than the other characters. Less commonly, a character with a lower armor rating can perform the actions of the tank by using avoidance abilities. Ultimately, the tank needs to be able to occupy the agressor without dying.

The method employed, whether avoidance or absorption, does not matter, as long as the tank can mitigate damage in some way.

Verb: To "tank", or "tanking", would be the action of performing the duties of the tank as described above.
1.N. That warrior is a good tank because he can take a lot of damage and he has a lot of hitpoints.
2.V. The warrior is tanking the mob right now.
3.V. Do you think you can tank this mob for us?

Simply based on the three bolded fragments, tanking means to survive your enemies assault. Nothing more. Nothing less.
