I am a n00b 50 War

When I leveled up WAR it was easy and I mostly had PLD for tanks.

I slap on the job and try to adjust the abilities the way I feel would benefit the party and I am at a loss. There are so many combos in which end in completely different ways. I feel as if I will have to create a new character and level up from scratch.

I have invested so much time into the game already before v2 and I feel like it would be an excessive amount of time. Don't hate because I know what most of you will say: If you want to do your job then you will take the time that is needed.

Sh*t is situational, but there has to be a standard set of keys (abilities in order) you at least use to start off a battle in with a group of mobs and a standard set of keys (abilities in order) you use for a boss.

I understand the mechanics of hate and can target mobs easily, but I need to know what I have on my hot bars and what order I should use them.

Please don't flame. Just explain.

Here's a good guide that you should have a look at:

I'm surprised that you have a 50 WAR and not know the gist of what should be prioritized though, but the link above has a pretty good 'rotation'.
