New Tank Advice

[Anienai]

Even advice on other tanking classes as I might want to try them down the line.

Race change to FEM ROE and seek out this NPC: https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Blauthota



jk..kinda

Most of the cool ppl here gave great advice, but i'll add my 5 copper. READ YOUR TOOL TIPS ABILITIES. Also, don't be THAT tank that runs into 7+ mobs and won't use a defensive CD (or 2).

READ YOUR TOOL TIPS ABILITIES. Also, don't be THAT tank that runs into 7+ mobs and won't use a defensive CD (or 2).

This quote right here, too many people are the latter(as well as not reading tooltips) and not the former which has caused tanking to be basically a chore more than actual fun(along with a bunch of other factors) due to how tank stance is basically a toggle that only lasts until you sync down and have to re-apply it again or turn it off for whatever reason.


Also if you happen to be that DRK that only uses TBN as their only defensive cooldown because it gives a "free Edge/Flood of Shadow" you're not wrong but only if it breaks, otherwise you could have used that 3k MP on Edge/Flood of Shadow instead of TBN because you would have used that 3k MP on Edge/Flood of Shadow anyway...
