And I don't know if it's effective or not, but I've been trying to do the FATEs as DPS because it means I often *can't* just spam an AOE to slaughter everything before anyone else can tag anything due to syncing taking away said AOE skills, or how the single boss mobs take awhile to chew through in the rare times I end up doing those kind of FATEs with no Blue Mage in sight or their spells fail to nuke the boss (and I guess have a long cooldown so they can't spam it? I'm not entirely sure what all spells Blue Mages are even using).
Best thing to do is roll as a tank cause all you need to do is smack everything once and you'll get full credit w/ stance on. Let the other people around you burn it down while you get punched. ^_^
