Healing/Tank on PS3 or PS4

[Melinabean0]

I pretty much have the same hotbar set up of main attacks, cooldowns, and such. If I need a second hotbar I hold R1 and then pick the necessary hotbar from there. I've been playing as a Bard and ended up needing two sets, one for main attacks and one for songs.

I think I would do better tanking, mostly because it seems like it would be difficult to target/cycle through party members to heal. So, I suppose healing worries me more than tanking. I thought about trying out a few guild heists as both, just to get a feel for each one. Or maybe pull together some FC members who wouldn't mind me being a bit of a noob. I did also check out the macro deal, since my husband suggested that. He's been playing WoW for years. May look into that a bit more as well.

Thank you for your input!

Use up / down on the D-pad for party member cycling.
Edit your standard target cycling (left / right on D-pad) to remove Party members, non-party members PC, NPC, keep Duty NPCs and object included. This is done under the character configuration menu.
By removing these targets for the standard targeting list, you will dramatically increase the success rate of clicking on the next enemy by simply pressing X.
