I really would like to tank, but

[Leigaon]

It is rough and you need the right attitude for it. I use to love tanking, now I only tank for friends when they need it..every now and then I'll step back out into the world with my g.axe but you have to have the right attitude for it, there are times where I'm timid about things and others...the tank comes out, which means you can tell me all you want how things are but in the end you have two choices accept the standards for the run as I've placed them or quit.

That makes it sound like I'm unreasonable, I will pull what I'm comfortable with. Being a healer I got an idea of the route the whm will go through but I also know just how powerful the moves are such as a Divine Seal + Regen / Medica II stack. I don't pull over the amount that I'm comfortable with. Another thing is that personally, I am in no rush I like to enjoy the atmosphere of the run and watching character movements in battle.

In primal battles, I'll do what I know should be done in terms of placement and try my best. There might be a mess up and things like that happen. I'll get up and do it again hopefully with better reaction time. Being told reasonable things to do in a run I don't mind.

I can't tank full time, it's a side job that I enjoy. Tanks do look the best in this game and their weapons, to me, look astounding. I wish I could tank the entire time, but I don't have the skin for it 24/7. It has made me much more protective of my tanks as a white mage. I'll let a BLM die if he decides to yell at a tank and try to pull more mobs ahead of the warrior or paladin. After that I will remind him that he's not the tank, if you want something tanked your way then jump on the job yourself.

I hope the OP continues to tank and get all the creative gear that can be equipped.
