Now if you want the real kicker, go with a tank that's in Ironworks. Enjoy that.
To be honest in SB I think you can't just level through dungeons using the gear you get along the way.
For example HQ level 68 gear is surprisingly stronger than the gear you get from Doma Castle (like pretty much the same level as Genta to Genji equipment) so you'll probably need to shell out some gil if you want your runs to go as smoothly as possible.
