I'm a new tank and could use some tips

[Nekotee]

In Midas (non-savage), you start to get taught about things like stacking debuffs (which force tank swaps), mob management (tanking mobs that spawn) and encounter mechanics (which may involve non-damage related mechanics, like leviathan HM/EX).

As we get into more difficult content (such as Ifrit Ex, Titan Ex, Garuda Ex and Sephirot Ex(for example)), we begin to see these mechanics become more central to tank gameplay.

Technically you learn to tank swap during the three first EX (Garu-chan, Frifrit-kun and Titan-tan)
Not in high end content like midas

But at least you speak about tank swap
Because as healer, i killed so many tank that had the nerve to tell me that tank swap was useless and I had only to heal more for it to go...
Which is a no

You're more likely to do midas normal than 2.xx primals if you start tanking these days, so this was written to a 3.xx new tank not a 2.xx new tank.

Not to mention 2.xx primals non-synced are much harder than alexander normal fights. And ifrit/totan/levi/ramuh/shiva/moogle all have tank swaps and can get wiped unsynced if people are unaware.

So don't worry, between my and februs's explanations we'll teach OP gud
