And what situation with tanks on your server?

[Sadana]

We have a tank shortage. I thought to level a new character on my server as a tank in order to help out. I went through a couple low level dungeons and guildhests and kept hearing "Please watch enmity" from my FC mates. My only thought was "Why isn't this WORKING?" as I targeted and mashed buttons for enmity-inducing skills. As BLM, I know that using a spell will do something. If I'm lucky, it will hit for a lot. If I'm not so lucky, it will still hit. But as a tank? It probably looked like I was doing nothing.

I leveled to about 23 MRD and gave up on that alt.

My only thought is that running a dungeon as a just-unlocked-this tank with a party composed of level synced healer and dps could have made keeping aggro more difficult. Not sure. I last played a tank before 2.1 if that makes a difference.

To add: I am not a bad dps, I'm an average dps. But, since I'm dps, that's okay. Tanks though... it's like they're expected to be perfect AND psychic.
