In Talisman, your best friend in tanking is fatal bash, and it is the best damaging attack of a monk, that is also the one that generates insane amounts of Enemy value. With this, you can keep aggro while your team mates can damage and heal without any fear. Fatal Crack also can help you with your teammates, that they can deal additional damage to the boss by decreasing his defence. Fatal Sadness can be used in times of crisis with some hope of stunning the boss and saving your life.
Some players have been saved by fatal sadness at many instances. For example, when you was down to 1000 HP Talisman Gold and the boss was about to cast AOE. This will have killed you as AOE damage was much more than normal attacks. If you fatal sadness and luckily, that it can stun the boss and the fairies got time to heal you enough to help you survive that AOE, after you completely heal in normal attacks.
