Don't like the tank situation on your server? Level one yourself and be apart of your own solution if you're such an amazing player.

This is a lousy catty reply, yet still good advice. I have a pld, brd, whm, and soon a smn at cap. Mnk is next. I think it makes you a better player to have a better idea what is going on with all roles in this game.
Also, it helps to be able to switch jobs sometimes based on the need of the run.
Gotta agree. Although it won't help right away when you get to 50. You still have to gear your character. For example, my character in full Darklight still isn't welcomed in most Extreme primal parties due to the i80+ requirement. But eh, I'm still happy to be able to tank where I can.![]()
This is basically me, I just got my Paladin to 50 and am at about i74. Still, I can tank all the HM primals and dungeons if somebody is in need of a tank. Next to get a healer to 50!Gotta agree.

This game doesn't feel like it can promote that kind of idea with the whole myth cap and coil lockout. Doing T5 and EX primal as undergear isn't the most pleasant. Sure is do-able, but your healers gonna pull extra weight.
Be warned playing a tank can be tough. Largely because you have to do everything yourself. Nobody likes taking inexperienced tanks through content, so the only way you will get to do some of it is have a dedicated group of friends with a tank spot open, or start and run everything yourself.
Seriously though, that's what I did. I leveled a tank first thinking they would be scarce like in other games. I would finally be a valued and much-needed team member instead of a benchwarmer. Turns out I was wrong. My FC has an excess of tanks, PF teams are always full on tanks and most of the people on my friends list are tanks. Tanks tanks tanks!
From the look of it, healers are the scarcity. I may have to break down and roll a healer if I want to raid. I really don't want to.
