Granted I will say that a newbie healer probably would have had a hard time healing that. Thankfully our dps was on point cause truthfully healing a tank through a few packs and the first boss was not as easy as I thought it would be. Been a hot min since I was last in AV not on a blu.
I think it depends at least. I think a lot of people get anxious at the responsibility a tank holds and I don't think they can get over that without actually going out at doing it and trying it for themselves, they can find once they have the ropes that actually tanking is way less of big deal than it looks. I also say the same to people who feel healing is too much for them, but this game has always been accessible in the healing department. Like, even with the expectation to DPS, there's a LOT of content where not-DPSing doesn't matter and gives you plenty of room to find your feet.

People sometimes need to get in the swing of things before it clicks with them and find that actually, it's not so bad.

If you find that you can't get over it, then yes, maybe not for you, but sometimes just trying it and getting used to it is all you need to get over it and find that you may like it and are good at it.
