A '''Tank''' is an [[RPG ]] term used to refer to a character [[class]] within a party who is built to take [[damage ]] and intended to be the target of attacks, thus protecting other members of the party. It can also be used as a verb, as in, "I'll [[summon ]] up some minions [[minion]]s to tank this big [[boss ]] monster."This does not necessarily have to be the "tank" character saying it, anyone can tank, just not as good as "the tank".  __TOC_==Usage==This term is most often used in an [[MMO]] setting, although is it also used in certain single player RPGs where the single player controls a party.

 These terms can equally apply to [[monster]] groups as well as player groupsand [[summon]]ed creatures, like [[minion]]s or [[pet]]s.  ==In Diablo Games==There is no particular "tank" class in [[Diablo III]], like in many other RPGs. The closest thing would be the [[Barbarian]], who gets benefits from taking damage.  In [[Diablo II]], the Barbarian and the [[Paladin]] are more "tank-y" classes than the rest, although the [[Druid]] can take on this role, and both the [[Necromancer]] and the [[Amazon]] can [[summon]] followers to act as tanks.  In [[Diablo I]], the [[Warrior]] is the only proper tank class before the expansion [[Diablo: Hellfire]]. In Hellfire the [[Monk]] can act as a tank, as can the secret [[Barbarian]] class.  

*A tank is also an armored and tracked vehicle used in heavy combat usually with a main cannon on a swivel, and often secondary cannons or machine guns elsewhere. This is where the term Tank (as an RPG term) comes from because the armored military tank can take a lot of abuse and protect infantry taking refuge behind it.   {{Class navbox|Class}}
