devs can u hear me

I used to think "roll as a tank" was a weak suggestion until I tried it! I was intimidated to try tanking for the first time. Now that I've tried it I really like it! What really helped me was doing instances as a DPS first and learning the mechanics of the dungeons. There are a lot of pro's and con's. The pro's are short queue times, setting your own pace for the instance, getting up close and personal with the enemies, and did I mention shorter queue times! The con's ........you need a thick skin. Because you are out in front any mistakes tend to be obvious to everyone and sometimes the "advice" can be a little rough. If the battle goes south you will be blamed! I try to learn from the comments, even the rude ones!As far as leveling your DPS character there is already good advice in this thread!Especially to do the daily roulettes and your Hunting Log. Dungeons,dungeons, the exp adds up fast and you will learn your class/job better than grinding out fates. Also always use food for a 3% exp boost and if possible have your FC use "heat of the battle" perk for another 5% exp bonus.
