New player questions

[Enkidoh]

I've never heard the word 'troll' used as a player role in a party before - by the description I've more heard the term 'mana battery' used (which I heard a few times used in FFXI). Such a role is not really needed given the fact players have natural HP and MP regeneration (even in battle, although it regenerates more slowly than when you're in 'passive' mode).

ARR officially has just the three 'trinity' roles of tank, healer and damage dealer ('DD'). Anything that would have been another role (support/debuff etc), or hybrid classes (like CNJ and ACN) are instead listed as one of these three main roles.

Incidentally you can tell which role a class or Job fits into by simply looking at your character name in the party list in the top corner of the screen - the class icon beside your character's name is colour-coded by role - tanks are blue, healers green and damage dealers red.
