Role change anxiety is maybe a thing?

[Miste]

Like I said to you that evening you did great on RDM for it being your first time in level 70 stuff! You were really aware of most things a RDM should be aware of and doing good DPS! Always room for improvement for all of us, but definitely a perfect way to start out on a new 70 job!

I also agree about the anxiety. When I first decided to try some delta savage on RDM I got nervous as well since I never did any difficult content on RDM before. I think it is normal for some of us to deal with that when we try to play jobs or roles we don't know as much.

For me it is definitely a fear of the unfamiliar like Hyo said. I play healer so much that I am so familiar with it and used to it that it doesn't bother me much, but other roles I am so unfamiliar with that I always feel like I need more practice or I am not playing it right/making mistakes too much D:

It also makes me nervous when certain fights have different mechanics that the roles have to handle. Like healer mechanics I know them, but going into a fight on a new role like DPS and they have a different mechanic that healers don't have to do.... that throws me off and I need to really pay more attention.

PS. Hyo I hope I wasn't too much of a pain to heal with in Noct lol I really suck at shielding D:

Oh, you were fine!! ^^ I was the one hoping I wasn’t a burden because I’m not used to actually playing WHM / HoT healers. XD

Aw, thank you both! I'm certainly going to keep on trying with RDM, I've beated all the SSS dummies I've had the guts to try (so up to Shin EX) and that was before understanding what I should be doing with Swiftcast and Embolden.

Next time I will make a valiant effort at being slightly less insecure >.>

Oh, you were perfectly fine, and you are very welcome. ^^ We all have insecurities; they fade with time and practice. ^^

Wait... was the run you, Miste, Tridus, AND HyoMin? So, like, forum all-star or what?

I wouldn’t call us all-stars, but it was super fun to play with everyone. ^^ I’m generally so much of a loner in-game if I’m not playing with Bourne, so it was really fun to party up with so many people from here. ^^

And I was hoping the same thing because I don't usually DPS either. Seems like everyone had a bit of it, but aside from feeling embarassed at eating the laser it was a great group makeup to try new things since people had useful tips and fun Discord chat instead of overly judgy randoms.

For sure. We'll try and do it again soon and hopefully can add VanilleFang. Got some PLD gear this week after finally getting the last shaft so I feel up to tanking as well if it's needed to fill the group.
