Any other tank mains thinking switching roles out of boredom?

Get yourself another 50 you might like. Nobody wants to grind using the same rotation for years (and for those who do, I won't care to hear about it), that's why being able to swap jobs within the same toon is awesome

Play other classes, it will make you an even better tank. I now have a 50 monk, blm, bard, and war. I now have perspectives from the offtank, melee dps, and ranged dps. Healer is next, and today I healed my first dungeon.

These new classes will give you new perspectives, and if you keep your main as tank, you will be much better off because you know what these other classes go through, and what they are capable of. You can also teach others or remind them of certain abilities they may or may not be using.

Also, it helps with the boredom. One thing I can say though is wait until you get a class to 50 to make a final judgement about it. Most classes I have done so far are not extremely entertaining until about late 20s-30s. When you get it to 50 and have numerous abilities, especially your higher level ones, it is much more fulfilling.

Id say if ur bored, try a dps class. Theres a reason why more ppl dps than tank or heal, its lots of fun. But Im a tank at heart. Everytime I dps I feel like I could be tanking better than the one I am teamed up with lol.

Got SMN to 50. LOVE Titan-egi, lol. Since I know most tanking parts if there is no tank in dungeon, the titan-egi can help us till one joins. Ironic that I still end up tanking tho...

And the PLD rotations are probably one of the worst. Its so simple and bland. :(

Well id rather take paladin's simple rotation with the added instant skills rather than spamming two different combos and literally no instant skills.

First class I levelled after Paladin was Arcanist, gets you a dps and healer job. Did Monk then Black Mage after that.

My Paladin is i90 now and while I use it for FC raids etc, I play my Monk for everything else :)

if que times weren't so long I would play DPS all day long .

Also paladin atleast for me is the only class that doesn't have skills that are literally useless.

Eh. Awareness and most of paladin's cross class skills are really bad. Also Cover, Riot Blade, and Tempered Will, while not useless, are all veeeery situational. Warrior, actually, is probably the class with the least amount of useless abilities since the 2.1 patch.

Situational yes, but they still have more impact than skills like foresight and fracture.

All i know is I make use of every single skill on paladin's arsenal. Can't say the same about warrior.
