    People need to lay off new tanks. I understand that the low level dungeons often have people running for seals etc, but to expect a low level tank to learn how to tank in the first 2-3 dungeons is naive. Your rotation will change between those three dungeons, let alone later on between those and higher level, which completely changes the way you play. Heck, you can't even do a complete rotation until 50.

    To be honest if you go into anything other than mid-endgame (from the sounds of it, post relic weapon and starting coil) , you should expect to meet people learning their class, and you should support, not belittle and discourage them. I'm currently leveling a paladin as my first character in FFXIV, but I'll only tank new dungeons if my free company is willing to help, otherwise I'll use my dragoon, precisely because of the attitude that some players have and the expectation that the tank has to know absolutely everything even on their first try. Thankfully I've played other MMOs as a tank, so I know the concepts, but applying those to a new game can be challenging, especially when people are expecting to be carried through by the tank and healer being perfect.
