Saw that and edited it right after :p

What do you guys think about increasing STR with our Level Bonus points? Is it not as valued as using the points to increase VIT if it's possible that STR has such a low return upon Parry and Shield Block? Is it more viable for a PLD to simply increase VIT? How about a WAR?

Thank you kind sir!

Really great guide. Learned a lot, will read again.

Appreciate the guide. I will be trying my hand at Tanking this time around!

Kinda lost me suggesting using mouse clicks for cooldowns, but looks like a good guide none the less.

Interesting read .. thx

Lol yeah...that was one of the topics I discussed before as well. I am aware that "clicking" is considered noob-ish, but to be honest, given the pace of the game I really think it's not much of a big deal in FFXIV. Though if you are able to keybind all abilities then you should do so, it's obviously faster than clicking ;) I personally don't see the need for it right now, I key-binded all the actions that you have to use on short notice, which is mostly Stun, Cover, Provoke and similiar things, but defensive cooldowns are not really an issue to just "click".

edit: I edited the part of the UI layout with a little notice about keybinds ;)

Awesome Info =]D
