Any other tank mains thinking switching roles out of boredom?

[bob13bob]

paladin rotation too boring and game play not interactive.

All the time, hence I made sure I have a tank dps and healer classes! Go get yours today!

I don't know why you need to have 1 main. The whole point of Armory System is you are all your jobs on one character.

Not everyone appreciates diversity. Some prefer keeping it simple and clean.

If you find Paladin boring at times, play a Warrior. I feel like that at times, and Warrior is so much more interesting, fun, and diverse.

That said, if I was looking for effectiveness, I'd still go Paladin. For all content where I am tanking, I still fall back to Paladin as that is my most geared class. Outside of that, have fun with different roles and jobs.

I have a trained and at least Darklight geared BLM and WHM - so I have a caster limit break, and a healer limit break as and when needed. My Dragoon is coming up, so I'll have a melee limit break as well.

I want another main not necessarily out of boredom though. I love WARing but I'd like to see what's it's link MNKing around on the other end. So far I've been enjoying it solo while spiritbonding some old dated gear of mine. All I can think about is, "If only I had another me on the other end keeping this mob perfectly still and distracted? Muahahahaha!"

I've been messing around with Thaumaturge because of the generally less-than-respectful party members I keep encountering while Paladin.

Thaumaturge is easy, at least at low levels.

"What do you do?"
"I blow stuff up."
"Then what, man?"
"I blow stuff up some more."

yeah, but then i get annoyed about how much control a tank has over the success of a group

sometimes it's really painful watching some people trying to assume the responsibilities of the tank role =\

SOme do prefer keeping it simple - but they're missing out on a lot of things IMHO.

I honestly think that after some time... you are supposed to have multiple classes to enjoy the game a bit better. Otherwise you will tire out quickly and/or run out of things to do.

Try out WARs and another one or two DPS classes to see what you like - or even a healing class.

I have been trying out the BLM and PGL/MNK class as of late and it has given me a lot of valuable insights.

(now if only the DF/Roulette system is a bit more.... )

I finally put my hand into healing (WHM, level 50, DL) and leveling BLM. definitely puts a new PoV on things. There are times when I itched to "blame the tank" but kept myself back. I hated it when done to me....even if deserved. One person saying "HEY!" is enough.

But otherwise, it did get a little old day in and day out as only PLD. Now I know what other people are going through on their classes. I just hate looking for defensive CDs when they aren't there...
