I know there is probably a thread somewhere on this forum that already adresses this, but I was hoping to get some more up to date advice. Also, I guess technically I'm switching from PLD to MRD, but eventually will be using the class as WAR.

I've played PLD since I started FFXIV, and have enjoyed every second of it. I have alt classes at 50, but my preference has always been running anything I can as PLD.

Well, I just joined my first static (which is really awesome btw!) and they need me to level and main as a WAR for our raids as soon as realistically possible. So I switch to my level 15 MRD yesterday and quickly realized that I had NO IDEA what I was doing.

So I need help understanding the differences. What should I be doing differently? I noticed it was alot easier to hold hate in the three dungeons I ran when leveling, but outside of that, I'm still not quite sure how comfortable I am using this class.


Beginner's and advanced advice would be appreciated!
