Why I've not been playing as a Paladin lately...

[Maighdlin]

So, since getting to 50, I've almost regretted levelling the Paladin job.

As a new tank, I am extremely intimidated by other, more geared level 50s. It mainly has to do with the Main Scenario dungeons. Because I don't know the fights or am not confident enough to do speed runs, people mock me and treat me with exasperation.

"Really? How do you not know this? I don't have time for this. Are you really going slow?"

Yes, I am. If you want to go fast, go level a tank yourself. >_<

Be nice to your tanks, people.

-end rant-

This has nothing to do with tanking perse. Just take your time or invite friends. Getting gear will come in a short time. Just keep practising and if people complain. Leave! You que fast enough anyways

just remember as a tank u have advantage over other class (faster queue time). if they dont like the pace you tanking mob, let them leave. DPS have to wait 30+ min usually to get in dungeon thru DF. tank only have to wait 5 +- min. plus it tank less than 5 min to replace DPS.

On the Flipside......Since leveling my SMN, I'm begining to notice alot of Tanks can be douches too. Just today in DF AK, I partied with a WAR who wanted to do a speed run. He pulled way to much causing the party to wipe and called the healer trash and said our Blm DPS was horrible. After the wipe, he pulled Big again, said Im done with you noobs and left DF mid fight, causing us to wipe again. Now that I think about it, should of took his name and reported him. Some Tanks abuse their power and let that go to their head.

@OP i90WAR/i80 PLD here so I know your pain, we all have been thru it. My advice to you dont let people deter you if you like the class. Don't get defensive if someone give you advice on how to tank better, and ignore the A holes. On harder content research the encounters, live and learn. Remember, without you their not going to get anything done.



^ At the end of the day Its just words. Dont let them slow you down.

I still have to say this on Wanderer's Palace occasionally. I refuse to speed run it lol

but why not if the party is perfectly capable of doing it?

but why not if the party is perfectly capable of doing it?

Because, and I'm assuming he has the same reason as me, it is boring. If I am tanking a dungeon, I am going to tank at my own pace in order to enjoy myself.

If people are joining Duty Finder (or especially roulette) expecting to do speed runs, then they're missing the entire point of Duty Finder/roulette.
Just vote kick them if they are rude and move on.

If they want to speedrun something, then they don't even have to level a tank job...
All they have to do is create a Party Finder group for that explicit purpose.

If I join DF on my tank I wont do a speed run. I have had ppl leave because of it. Dont let others get to you and try to boss you around. Let them leave and take the hit on the lock out then sit and wait longer to get another pt.
