Thank you all for your suggestions and tips.

It's PLD, yep (turtle playstyle appeals to me). And, those are some good points about T10... maybe I will start there.

(...) My sequence as a PLD is often FoF>bloodbath>FB(to preload combo)>Provoke>SB>RoH>Flash. This may be overkill, and there are other ways, but I like the snap enmity it provides. Experiment on your own, and most importantly, have fun while doing it!
It's more that I think they would have the expectation that I pick it up very quickly. If I tanked in other games maybe but... Well, I would just prefer something with some margin for error while I learn. But like Casper pointed out, T10 probably qualifies now.

But I managed to tank Cads split with being at 70% hitrate (youp I had no clue bout accuracy needed).
If you wanna start easy go first coils 1-4 try 6-8 and maybe T5 and 9 (havent tanked T8 n 9 thru myself as now maining heal... I have a personal gotta tank gotta DPS ranged/melee). Try EX primals.... I wanted to try tanking T10 i just went into DF with a friend... we killed (oneshot even) even tho my adds crakle hiss hit the other tank. I was excited but I just slammed my face into it.
Just dont worry try and have fun
Honestly I wouldn't have expected DF groups to get as far as adds... maybe I just have too many bad experiences with it XD I might try that then. Or a preformed titan ex or something... hmm
