Is this normal?

I wouldn't care if it's your first time. Everyone had to have a first time in there at some point. However, my group wouldn't let me tank, until I had over 5k HP unbuffed on PLD. I would work on getting some darklight jewelry and maybe a better weapon if I were in your position.

Also, unfortunately it is completely normal to find douchebags in the duty finder. Also expect half the party to leave if you don't win the first try. Really, what I'm saying is, don't expect to win using the duty finder. Use the DF to practice so that when you run with a good group, you'll have an easier time.
