I would love to become a tank, however, something is holding me back...

The dungeons.

As a DPS, I fully appreciate the Tanks, they know the dungeon maps like the back of their hand. So much in fact that I have never gotten to really explore the maps, it's always a rush from point A to point B. (This is not a bad thing, but I feel like I have missed out on the initial "learn the map by making all the mistakes" phase)

My fear is that Tanks have now become expected to know all the maps AND I DO NOT.

I know repetition is key, but it doesn't seem to be doing it for me. Instead of follow the map I don't pay attention to the map and it is more follow the tank. Are there maps of the dungeons online with the correct paths that I could study, or at least keep near me while I run dungeons?

Tanks, how do you manage on your first run of a dungeon?

Unrelated note, what is the purpose of doing Ifrit runs? He never drops loot, so it is just for experience?
