    I main a tank.
    I PvP as a healer enough that I've been able to tackle t13 down as SCH now.

    I just can't deal damage with such upkeep to have any sort of respectable numbers.

    I always heal or tank. Maybe if they ever implement a parser so I can actually gauge how well I'm doing....

    I'm a horrific Warrior, lol. I can play Paladin fine, but those Wrath stacks really eff me up. And I always forget which combo I'm supposed to do when I OT. XD

    After that I'm a pretty meh DPS. I don't really think like a DPS since I main healer. My mentality is always survivability > damage, since that was what it was like in the MMO I came from before FFXIV. I will admit that I am a better ranged DPS than a Melee, though. Which is funny considering I've usually played melee DPS.

    And SCH is also one of my weaker classes since its toolkit is very different than WHM. It throws me off a lot. I need them Regens and that Holy spam.

    So basically I'm only good at WHM and maybe Paladin. :P

    At the moment, Tanking (main as a BLM, moonlight as a WHM). I'm not sure how good I am, it's just, when I DF and have to deal with that one dps or one healer that wants to faceroll into a mob and run back to me and start attacking/healing before I even get a chance to gain hate on ANY one of them (then, act as if I should be thankful that he nearly got himself and the pty killed), it makes me realize how much I hate the class.

    On the plus, I have far, FAR more respect for those that tank and put up with that mess. Tanking is a thankless job. ><;

    Tanking for me. I have a .5 second lag due to the fact that I have to use satellite internet, (the only internet I can get where I live), which makes it difficult for me to grab the aggro from enemies that are chasing around healers or DPS who steal it. That and the only practice I have with tanking is guildhests when leveling my MRD to 15 so I could get my Dragoon......

    Order for me:
    Healing
    Tanking
    DPSing

    I totally suck at DPSing, I find myself paying too much attention to other people's HP. At least as a tank this helps me know if I'm slacking and need to pick something up :P

    I couldn't agree more. This is properly why so many tanks are wasted when tanking. :P

    Tanking and SCH (yet im at home WHMing.... o.O). It a little funny - I do okay solo or in fates on WAR/MRD where I'm unofficially the fate-train's tank, but as soon as I'm in a dungeon I flounder a bit...

    As for SCH.... I'm not used to having a tiny healer with me so I end up overlapping with the faerie (and have a hard time giving up control to let it heal while I dps a little...)

    That really should be everyone's mentality, regardless of role. Before I got to FF ARR, myself, I played dps classes in other mmos. Mostly played mages. Mages were well known back then to be the "glass cannon" of classes, so if you ripped hate off of a tank, or pulled a mob without the tank/CC/any "holy crud, that's an op spell" skill, you had no one but yourself to blame, because you weren't playing your role/class well. You really couldn't get away with blaming anyone else.

    Now, it's all...
    *tank pulls one mob of 3*
    Dps: Tank, you sux. You're too slow. *begins pulling 5+ mobs*
    *tank freaks and tries to gain aggro*
    *healer quickly tries to heal and gains aggro doing so, getting killed*
    *everyone else slowly dies*
    Dps who pulled: You can't hold 7+mobs??? Lol *afk kicks the tank*

    =.=
