■About the tank system
1)The method
In combat, if your follower is equipped with a shield, he casts the Shout and goes into "Standby mode".
If you draw the weapon and sneak while moveing to the left, the tank effect is activated.
The enemy in the area is attracted to your follower and he targets your follower for an attack. Also, when the enemy goes out of the area, he is subject to the tank effect once again. Your follower as the tank not only takes enemy's targeting, but also he limits the enemy's moving area.
While the tank effect is active, if you sneak while moveing to the left once more, you can end the activation.
The tank effect needs follower's magicka costs. Rank up improves the magicka costs.
if player attacks a enemy receiving the effect, the tank effect ends.
You have to decide whether to keep the effect or attack depending on the combat situation. Of course if your follower has enough magicka, you can activate the tank effect once again.
The tank effect gives buff and debuff to your follower and enemies. The damage race in combat changes greatly.

Enemy : Attack Damage (-40%) Damage Resist (+400)
