As a Bard I can stand in front of mobs no problem, right?
Mhhh, I really don't get how I'm having such trouble while questing, but I'll give it another try.

Thanks for all the responses, as of now I'm definitely leaning on BLM or BRD seeing as being a melee class wouldn't help me a lot for Dailies and solo-play while it's probably also closest to tanking gameplay-vise.


Did something interesting to compare Archer to Conjurer and took both of them @ lv 22 to make the lv 30 mob for the Hunting Log (which happens to be the same mob). The CON fared better, seeing as the mob reached me on like 50-60%, got knocked back and after taking like 1 or 2 hits it was down. With the archer I honestly had to kite the whole fight, though obviously that made it close to no damage received, I ran the risk of adding and dying^^ are there some needed cross-class skills, or is damage this low? I guess it works out fine with kiting, but still^^"
